Abstract

It is well known that critical points of the total scalar curvature functional S on the space of all smooth Riemannian structures of volume 1 on a compact manifold M are exactly the Einstein metrics. When the domain of S is restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics, there has been a conjecture that a critical point is also
Einstein or isometric to a standard sphere. In the Riemannian case, it’s tangent space satisfies a decomposition. In this paper, we prove that if we only consider the Hermitian metrics, it also have a decomposition. Then we obtain the equation of the critical points among the Hermitian metrics.
