*Title:* KӒHLER-EINSTEIN METRICS WITH LARGE SYMMETRY

*Abstract:*
In 2004, Wang and I found a priori C°-estimates for certain real 
Monge-Ampère equations to study Kähler-Einstein metrics on toric 
manifolds. This method was later generalized by many people to study 
Kähler-Einstein metrics or Kähler-Ricci solitons on G-manifolds, 
horosymmetric manifolds, spherical varieties etc. Recently, Tian and I 
found a local version of the Wang-Zhu’s estimate to study the 
degeneration of Kähler-Ricci flow on such manifolds. This method can be 
also used to construct complete Kähler-Ricci solitons on certain 
non-compact toric manifolds. In this series of lectures, we will give 
four lectures related to the above works as follows.

Lecture 1: Kähler-Einstein metrics on toric manifolds
Lecture 2: Complete Kähler-Ricci solitons on non-compact toric manifolds
Lecture 3: Some fundamental results and volume monotonicity on 
Kähler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds
Lecture 4: Degeneration of Kähler-Ricci flow on Fano G-manifolds
