Title: Canonical Metrics in Kahler Geometry

Abstract: Given a Riemannian manifold (M, g) it is natural to ask 
whether such a manifold can be equipped a "canonical metric". 
For Riemann surfaces, we have the celebrated uniformisation 
theorem and we explore whether analogous statements can be 
made in higher dimensions. This will lead naturally to the subject 
of Kahler-Einstein metrics and their associated complex 
Monge-Ampere equations.
