In this talk, we will discuss geometric structure in the infinite dimensional space of Kahler potentials. In particular, we will discuss recent progress in Kaehler geometry (existence and uniqueness of extremal Kahler metrics where Kahler Einstein is a special case). Moreover, we will discuss some problems in Kahler geometry which might be useful to attack the existence problem of extremal Kahler metrics via deformation methods.
