abstract: 1. A quantization method by Donaldson for the stability problem (a balanced metric as a finite dimensional analogue of a Kaehler metrics of constant scalar curvature)
2. An obstruction to asymptotic semistability of a polarized algebraic manifold, and the associated integral invariants
3. Extremal Kaehler metrics and asymptotic weighted Bergman kernels
4. The second fundamental form in the geometry of Kaehler potentials, and its application to the uniqueness problem
