Abstract
This paper is a survey of some recent progress on the study of Calabi's extremal Kähler metrics. We first discuss the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture relating the existence of extremal metrics to an algebro-geometric stability notion and we give some example settings where this conjecture has been established. We then turn to the question of what one expects when no extremal metric exists.

Acknowledgements. Over the years I have benefited from conversations about extremal metrics with many people. In particular I would like to thank Simon Donaldson, Duong Phong, Julius Ross, Jacopo Stoppa, Richard Thomas and Valentino Tosatti for many useful discussions. The work presented in this survey was partially supported by the NSF.
