Review text

The existence of canonical Riemannian metrics on compact manifolds is one of the most significant problems in geometry. In physics, an Einstein metric can be characterized as the solution to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Einstein-Hilbert functional. From a geometric perspective, the Einstein-Maxwell equation is the Euler-Lagrange equation for the functional\N\[\N(g, F) \mapsto \int_M (s_g + \langle F, F \rangle_g)dv_g,\N\]\Nwhere \(g\) varies over all Riemannian metrics of a fixed total volume on a compact complex surface, and \(F\) varies over all closed 2-forms within a given de Rham class.\N\NLeBrun highlighted an intriguing connection between the four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell equations and special metrics in Kähler geometry related to constant scalar curvature metrics. In the paper under review, the author studies a higher-dimensional analogue, which he terms the Einstein-harmonic equation. Specifically, he shows that given a compact constant scalar curvature Kähler manifold \((M,J,g)\) of complex dimension \(2n\), and a non-zero real constant \(c\), it is possible to construct a pair \((g,F)\) satisfying the Einstein-harmonic equation, where \(F\) is an \((n,n)\)-form.
