In what sense exactly are the Einstein metrics distinguished?
If I understood your question correctly, the answer indeed is due to Lovelock. I think it's important to state all the hypotheses clearly, because they are not always reported accurately.
Theorem. (...

Does exist a Kahler-Einstein metric on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^3$ along a smooth plane cubic?
No, there are no Kähler—Einstein metrics on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^3$ along a plane cubic.
Let $X$ be the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^3$ along a plane cubic. Then the alpha-invariant $\alpha(X)=1/4$ ...

Does there exists a complete Kahler metric with positive scalar curvature on Poincare disk?
Take any smooth function $f$ on the disk so that $f$ goes to infinity at the boundary and then our metric must be of the form $g=e^f(dx^2+dy^2)$. Every metric on any oriented surface is Kaehler, in ...

Is there any relativistic interpretation on considering Kaehler-Einstein metrics and Calabi-Yau manifolds?
First, a purely mathematical remark: it is not so easy to construct Riemannian Ricci-flat metrics on compact manifolds. Ricci flat Kähler (= Calabi-Yau) metrics give a large class of examples and are "...

Does there exists a complete Kahler metric with positive scalar curvature on Poincare disk?
The answer to your question is no.In case of surfaces the scalar curvature and Ricci curvature coincide with Gauss curvature. If an n dimensional M had a complete Riemannian metric h with nonnegative ...

Uniqueness of a compatible Kahler-Einstein structure on a symplectic manifold?
Let $X$ be a smooth complex del Pezzo surface which forms non-trivial family (for example the cubic surface). Then by a Theorem of Tian every variety in the family will have a KE-metric ( Tian, G. On ...

Examples of constant scalar curvature kähler metric that is not kahler einstiein
Here is a non-compact example.
Consider the half-space $ \mathbb{C} \times \mathbb{H}$ as a subset of $ \mathbb{C}^2$. We use the Kahler potential
$$\Psi = \frac{x_1^2}{x_2} - \log(x_2).$$
Here, $...

In what sense exactly are the Einstein metrics distinguished?
OK I think I understand the question now.
You want to look at Lovelock gravities.
These are the most general theories (not bothering with a list of qualifiers here, see wikipedia) that produce 2nd ...

Uniqueness of a compatible Kahler-Einstein structure on a symplectic manifold?
Concerning 2) one can, of course, take the product of two curves of higher genus to get a counter-example. In general, to have a statement as you want, one should look for rigid complex surfaces of ...

$\partial \overline{\partial}$-lemma for Irreducible, Normal Projective Varieties
This just follows from the definition of admissible. Indeed $\omega_1 = c(\omega_{FS} + i\partial\bar\partial \psi_1),$ and $\omega_2 = c(\omega_{FS} + i\partial\bar\partial \psi_2$). Thus $\omega_1 ...

CSC Kahler metrics on a blown-up torus
This statement about blow ups of torus is not correct. Take any aglebraic $2$-torus with a smooth curve $C$ of genus $>1$. Blow up $C^2+1$ points on $C$ and apply Theorem 1 here: https://arxiv.org/...

Kähler metric of constant scalar curvature with positive bisectional curvature is Kähler-Einstein
I assume your manifold is compact.
It follows from Siu-Yau's proof of the Frankel conjecture that your manifold $X$ is biholomorphic to projective space (see also Mori's work) [1]. In particular, $\...
