Abstract

Let BB be a K\"ahler-Einstein Fano manifold, and LBL \to B be a suitable root of the canonical bundle. We give a construction of complete Calabi-Yau metrics and gradient shrinking, steady, and expanding K\"ahler-Ricci solitons on the total space MM, dimCM=n{\rm dim}_{\mathbb{C}} M = n of certain vector bundles EBE \to B, composed of direct sums of powers of LL. We employ the theory of hamiltonian 2-forms [2, 3] as an Ansatz, thus generalizing recent work of the author and Apostolov on Cn\mathbb{C}^n [5], as well as that of Cao, Koiso, Feldman-Ilmanen-Knopf, Futaki-Wang, and Chi Li [10, 26, 23, 24, 30] when EE has Calabi symmetry. As a result, we obtain new examples of asymptotically conical K\"ahler shrinkers, Calabi-Yau metrics with ALF-like volume growth, and steady solitons with volume growth R4n23R^{\frac{4n-2}{3}}.

Comments

Minor improvements to the introduction and appendix. In particular, the curvature estimates in the appendix have been extended to apply in all cases of Theorem A
