Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau theorem

E613807

The Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau theorem is a fundamental result in differential and algebraic geometry that characterizes when a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold admits a Hermitian–Einstein metric, linking geometric stability with the existence of such metrics.
