Kähler-Einstein metrics and projective embeddings. (Q5950238)

One can naturally ask when a projective manifold can also be realized as a complex isometric submanifold with respect to the Fubini-Study metric. \textit{E. Calabi} [Ann. Math. (2) 58, 1--23 (1953; Zbl 0051.13103)] showed that this is not possible if the manifold has constant non-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. The present author shows that, more generally, any compact Einstein complex submanifold \((M,g)\hookrightarrow (\mathbb{P}^N, g_{F-S})\) has ctrictly positive scalar curvature. The proof, by absurd, uses the analyticity of the Einstein submanifold and consists in finding, locally, a special coordinate system and a preferred potential which allows to estimate \(\text{vol}(M,g)\) as bigger than the volume of a certain subset which is shown to be Zariski dense in \(\mathbb{C}^n\).
