Abstract

In this note we review recent progresses on the existence problem of Kähler constant scalar curvature metrics on complex manifolds. The content of this note is an expanded version of author’s talk “Constant curvature metrics on algebraic manifolds” at the Giornata Indam at L’Aquila on June 9th 2011.
