003W

Remark 18. The motivation for toric Kähler metrics on $\mathbb{CP}^{n+1}$ is as follows. The toric property is a natural way to reduce general Kähler potentials to convex functions. The idea of extension to an ambient space, is based on

Proposition 6.8. ([19, Thm. B]) Let $(X,\omega)$ be a projective manifold with a Kähler form representing an integral class, and $Y$ be a smooth subvariety of $X$ . Then any $\phi\in PSH(Y,\omega|_{Y})$ extends to $\phi\in PSH(X,\omega)$ .
