New extremal Kähler metrics on projective bundles
Abstract
Consider a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact complex curve C which decomposes as a sum of stable vector bundles. For the projectivization ℙ(E), we prove that the existence of a compatible extremal almost Kähler (aK) metric of involutive type in the sense of Lejmi is equivalent to the existence of a Calabi extremal Kähler metric. This result rests on the Yau--Tian--Donaldson correspondence in terms of the moment polytope Δ for ℙ(E), proved by the author and Yin in a previous work. The main advantage is that compatible extremal aK metrics of involutive type are solutions to a second-order linear PDE, rather than a fourth-order nonlinear PDE for Calabi's extremal Kähler metrics. As an application, we prove that when E has rank $4$ and C is an elliptic curve or the projective line, ℙ(E) is a Calabi dream manifold, i.e. admits an extremal Kähler metric in every Kähler class.
