Calabi's conjecture on prescribed Ricci forms

About 8 years old · traced to

Let MM be a compact Kähler manifold with Kähler metric ω \omega, and let α\alpha be a real (1,1)(1,1)-form representing c1(M)c_{1}(M). Calabi's conjecture. There \exists a unique Kähler metric η\eta on MM with [η]=[ω][\eta]=[\omega] such that

Ric⁡(η)=2πα.\operatorname{Ric}(\eta)=2\pi\alpha.

Calabi established the uniqueness part, while Yau proved existence by solving the associated complex Monge–Ampère equation. Thus the conjecture is solved.
