Test Configurations, Stabilities and Canonical Kähler Metrics

“The concise style of exposition likely means that this monograph is best suited for experts with background knowledge in canonical Kähler metrics. … It can be recommended also to those who would like a review of important results concerning the generalised Kähler-Einstein metrics, with various examples, and the moduli space of Lp-spaces.” (Yoshinori Hashimoto, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2023)
