Abstract: I will discuss joint work with Michael Singer showing how to analyze smoothly, in the sense of manifolds with corners, the gluing construction of Arezzo and Pacard which `lifts’ a K\"ahler metrics with constant scalar curvature under the blow up of points. As time permits I will also describe the obstructed case. --------------------------------------------------- Web site for GTA Seminar is at: http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/SemConf/Geometry/index.html
