Deformation of canonical metrics. I (Q431574)

The author studies the deformation of canonical metrics associated to a family of complex manifolds and describes a general method to establish the expansion of the Kähler forms of these metrics. More precisely, given a complex manifold \(X\) such that \(c_1(X)<0\), by Yau's work we know that there exists a unique Kähler-Einstein metric on \(X\) and, similarly, if \((X,L)\) is a polarized Calabi-Yau manifold, there exists a unique Ricci flat metric on \(X\) in the class \(c_1(L)\). In this paper, the author studies the deformation of these Kähler-Einstein metrics on a holomorphic family of such manifolds.
