We characterize real 4-dimensional Kahler metrices which are critical for natural quadratic Riemannian functionals defined on the space of all Riemannian metrics. In particular we show that such critical Kahler surfaces are either Einstein or have zero scalar curvature. We also make some discussion on criticality in the space of Kahler metrics.

In this paper we describe the Einstein-Kahler metric for the Cartan-Hartogs of the first type which is the special case of the Hua domains. Firstly, we reduce the Monge-Ampere equation for the metric to an ordinary differential equation in the auxiliary function X = X(z, w) = $\midw\mid^2[det(I-ZZ^{T}]^{\frac{1}{K}}$ (see below). This differential equation can be solved to give an implicit function in Χ. Secondly, we get the estimate of the holomorphic section curvature under the complete Einstein-K$\ddot{a}$hler metric on this domain.
