Some numerical results in complex differential geometry (Q1022826)

In the first part of the paper, the author discusses general procedures for finding numerical approximations to distinguished Kähler metrics, such as Calabi-Yau metrics, on complex projective manifolds. These procedures are closely related to ideas from geometric invariant theory, and to the asymptotics of high powers of positive line bundles. In the core of the paper, these ideas are illustrated by detailed numerical results for a particular \(K3\) surface.
