(Joint work with Richard Thomas) I will discuss K-stability and its relation to constant scalar curvature metrics. This leads to a notion of slope stability for manifolds in terms of its subschemes, which gives an obstruction to finding constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics in a given rational Kahler class.
