Construction of Kähler surfaces with constant scalar curvature (Q843190)

The goal of this work is to present new examples of Kähler metrics of constant scalar curvature on complex surfaces. The authors review the construction of scalar flat Kähler orbifold metrics given by \textit{Y. Rollin} and \textit{M. Singer} [Invent. Math 162, 235--270 (2005; Zbl 1083.32021)] and they adapt it to the case of Kähler metrics of constant scalar curvature. The results of \textit{C. Arezzo} and \textit{F. Paccard} [Acta Math. 196, 179--228 (2006; Zbl 1123.53036)] allows to work with constant scalar curvature orbifold of non zero scalar curvature. These orbifolds are twisted products of Riemannian surfaces, where the scalar curvature of the factors can be chosen arbitrarily. The construction gives rise to many families of examples but in the present paper, the authors focus on \(X_k:=k\)-fold blow up of \(\mathbb C \mathbb P^1\times \mathbb C \mathbb P^1\). A first result gives positive constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics in a familiy of Kähler classes on \(X_k\) for \(k=6,7,8\). For \(k=9\) constant scalar curvature metrics of either sign are obtained. Moreover it is proved that there are metrics of constant scalar curvature that represent Kähler classes arbitrarily far form the hyperplane \(H\) inside \(H^2(X,\mathbb R)\).
