Stability and existence of critical Kaehler metrics on ruled manifolds

Ying-Ji HONG

Abstract

In this article we discuss how the existence of Kaehler metrics with constant scalar curvature on the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle over a Kaehler manifold $M$ is related to a moment map condition for the action of the automorphism group of $M$ on the moduli of vector bundles.
