Polarized 4-Manifolds, Extremal Kähler Metrics, and S-W Theory
Claude LeBrun
Abstract
Using Seiberg-Witten theory, it is shown that any Kaehler metric of constant negative scalar curvature on a compact 4-manifold M minimizes the L2-norm of scalar curvature among Riemannian metrics compatible with a fixed decomposition H2(M)=(H+) + (H-). This implies, for example, that any such metric on a minimal ruled surface must be locally symmetric.
