On the geometry of moduli spaces (Q1074743)

A Kähler metric on the moduli spaces of compact complex manifolds with \(c_ 1<0\) and of polarized compact Kähler manifolds with \(c_ 1=0\) is constructed. The metric is computed on the moduli spaces of polarized tori and symplectic manifolds and turned to be the Maaß metric on the Siegel upper half space and the Bergmann metric on a symmetric space of type III, respectively.
