Hermitian metrics of constant Chern scalar curvature on ruled surfaces. (English) Zbl 1454.53059

Summary: It is known that Hirzebruch surfaces of non zero degree do not admit any constant scalar curvature Kähler metric [V. Apostolov et al., Adv. Math. 227, No. 6, 2385–2424 (2011; Zbl 1232.32011); P. Gauduchon, “Calabi’s extremal Kähler metrics: an elementary introduction”, Preprint; J. Martinez-Garcia, “Constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics on rational surfaces”, Preprint, arXiv:1712.04857]. In this note, we describe how to construct Hermitian metrics of positive constant Chern scalar curvature on Hirzebruch surfaces using Page-Bérard-Bergery’s ansatz [D. Page, “A compact rotating gravitational instanton”, Phys. Lett. B 79, No. 3, 235–238 (1978; doi:10.1016/0370-2693(78)90231-9); L. Bérard Bergery, Inst. Élie Cartan, Univ. Nancy I 6, 1–60 (1983; Zbl 0544.53038) We also construct the interesting case of Hermitian metrics of zero Chern scalar curvature on some ruled surfaces. Furthermore, we discuss the problem of the existence in a conformal class of critical metrics of the total Chern scalar curvature, studied by P. Gauduchon [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 290, 327–330 (1980; Zbl 0422.58015); Math. Ann. 267, 495–518 (1984; Zbl 0523.53059)].
