Hamiltonian constructions of Kähler-Einstein metrics and Kähler metrics of constant scalar curvature

Abstract

Assuming the existence of a real torus acting through holomorphic isometries on a Kähler manifold, we construct an ansatz for Kähler-Einstein metrics and an ansatz for Kähler metrics with constant scalar curvature. Using this Hamiltonian approach we solve the differential equations in special cases and find, in particular, a family of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics describing a non-linear superposition of the Bergman metric, the Calabi metric and a higher dimensional generalization of the LeBrun Kähler metric. The superposition contains Kähler-Einstein metrics and all the geometries are complete on the open disk bundle of some line bundle over the complex projective spaceP _n. We also build such Kähler geometries on Kähler quotients of higher cohomogeneity.
