Aug 18, 2013 at 12:20 comment added Barry Cipra @AntonPetrunin, thank you, the spurious symbol was caused by a line break in the block quoting, which puts a "greater than" symbol at the front of each line.

fixed a formatting error that created a math error.
Aug 18, 2013 at 1:15 comment added Anton Petrunin @J.GE, From the abstract, it is not clear what is Calabi's proof, but probably it has the same flavor as this one: mathoverflow.net/questions/77558/…
Nov 14, 2012 at 0:15 comment added Barry Cipra @Jim, great comment! I actually found the Notices here yesterday in the periodicals section of the stacks in the math library at the University of Minnesota and today in the bowels of Rolvaag Library at St. Olaf College.
Nov 13, 2012 at 23:41 comment added Jim Humphreys @Barry: My personal copies have long sincd been recycled, but intrepid people can actually find these back issues locally. Not in the UMass library (or nearby small college libraries), but under a nearby mountain in the Five College Depository. This was built by the feds during the Cold War to house bank documents in case of nuclear war, but is now owned by Amherst College. Old journals buried there can be requested, I guess, but the location was more useful during filming of a Mel Gibson thriller a few years ago.

Nov 13, 2012 at 9:29 comment added J. GE @YangMills, I knew Yau's proof and was trying to find what was the "other method" that Calabi had in his mind. But thanks anyway.
Nov 13, 2012 at 9:27 vote accept J. GE
Nov 13, 2012 at 4:02 comment added YangMills This result was proved almost at the same time by Yau, his proof appeared here iumj.indiana.edu/docs/25051/25051.asp (Theorem 7).
