                      color="#000000">An extremal Kähler metric is a
                      canonical Kähler metric, introduced by E. Calabi,
                      which is somewhat more general than a constant
                      scalar curvature Kähler metric. The existence of
                      such a metric is an ongoing research subject and
                      expected to be equivalent to some form of
                      geometric stability of the underlying polarized
                      complex manifold (M,J,[ω])  –the
                      Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture. Thus it is no
                      surprise that there is a moment map, the scalar
                      curvature (A. Fujiki, S. Donaldson), and the
                      problem can be described as an infinite
                      dimensional version of the familiar finite
                      dimensional G.I.T.<br>
                      <br>
                      I will describe how the moment map can be used to
                      describe the local space of extremal metrics on a
                      symplectic manifold. Essentially, the local
                      picture can be reduced to finite dimensional
                      G.I.T. In particular, we can construct a course
                      moduli space of extremal Kähler metrics with a
                      fixed polarization [ω]∈H2(M,R), which is an
                      Hausdorff complex analytic space<br>
