Quantization methods in the Yau-Tian-Donaldson program

Abstract: A celebrated conjecture of Yau states that the existence of a Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature on a projective manifold should be equivalent to a purely algebraic stability condition. Much progress has been done on this conjecture in the past decades, culminating in what is now called the Yau-Tian-Donaldson program. In this talk, I will explain the key role played by quantization methods in this program, and how they can be improved using a semiclassical estimate of the quantum noise of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. This is partly based on joint works in collaboration with Victoria Kaminker, Leonid Polterovich and Dor Shmoish.
