Symmetric varieties are normal equivarient open embeddings of symmetric homogeneous spaces, and they are interesting examples of spherical varieties. We prove that all smooth Fano symmetric varieties with Picard number one admit Kähler–Einstein metrics by using a combinatorial criterion for K-stability of Fano spherical varieties obtained by Delcroix. For this purpose, we present their algebraic moment polytopes and compute the barycenter of each moment polytope with respect to the Duistermaat–Heckman measure.

We prove the convergence of the Bergman kernels and the $L^2$-Hodge numbers on a tower of Galois coverings $\{X_j\}$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ converging to an infinite Galois (not necessarily universal) covering $\widetilde{X}$. We also show that, as an application, sections of canonical line bundle $K_{X_j}$ for sufficiently large $j$ give rise to an immersion into some projective space, if so do sections of $K_{\widetilde{X}}$.

Let $\pi:\mathbb{C}^n\times\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be the projection map onto the second factor and let $D$ be a domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ such that for $y\in\pi(D)$, every fiber $D_y:=D\cap\pi^{-1}(y)$ is a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and is diffeomorphic to each other. By Chau's theorem, the K\"ahler-Ricci flow has a long time solution $\omega_y(t)$ on each fiber $D_y$. This family of flows induces a smooth real (1,1)-form $\omega(t)$ on the total space $D$ whose restriction to the fiber $D_y$ satisfies $\omega(t)\vert_{D_y}=\omega_y(t)$. In this paper, we prove that $\omega(t)$ is positive for all $t>0$ in $D$ if $\omega(0)$ is positive. As a corollary, we also prove that the fiberwise K\"ahler-Einstein metric is positive semi-definite on $D$ if $D$ is pseudoconvex in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$.
