Let $X$ be a compact complex, not necessarily K\"ahler, manifold of dimension $n$. We characterise the volume of any holomorphic line bundle $L\to X$ as the supremum of the Monge-Amp\`ere masses $\int_X T_{ac}^n$ over all closed positive…

We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras defined by solutions of the modified classical Yang-Baxter…

Let X be a smooth complex algebraic variety. In this paper, we associate, to each exact n-cube of hermitian vector bundles over X, a differential form, called higher Bott Chern form, which generalizes the Bott Chern forms associated to an…

In this paper, we study numerically flat holomorphic vector bundles over a compact non-K\"ahler manifold $(X, \omega)$ with the Hermitian metric $\omega$ satisfying the Gauduchon and Astheno-K\"ahler conditions. We prove that numerically…

This paper establishes quantitative Carleman-type inequalities for holomorphic sections of Hermitian vector bundles over bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n \geq 2$. We first prove a Sobolev-type inequality with explicit constants for…

From a view point of the moment map, we shall introduce the notion of Einstein-Hermitian generalized connections over a generalized K\"ahler manifold of symplectic type. We show that moduli spaces of Einstein-Hermitian generalized…

We give a presentation of the cohomology ring of spatial polygon spaces $M(r)$ with fixed side lengths $r \in \mathbb R^n_+$. These spaces can be described as the symplectic reduction of the Grassmaniann of 2-planes in $\mathbb C^n$ by the…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. Let r be a prime number and \xi a holomorphic line bundle on it such that r is not a divisor of degree(\xi). Let {\mathcal M}_\xi(r) denote the moduli space of stable…

Let ${\mathcal B}_g(r)$ be the moduli space of triples of the form $(X,\, K^{1/2}_X,\, F)$, where $X$ is a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\, \geq\, 2$, $K^{1/2}_X$ is a theta characteristic on $X$, and $F$ is a…

Let S be a surface with genus g and n boundary components and let d(S) = 3g-3+n denote the number of curves in any pants decomposition of S. We employ metric properties of the graph of pants decompositions CP(S) prove that the…

The heterotic $SU(3)$ system, also known as the Hull--Strominger system, arises from compactifications of heterotic string theory to six dimensions. This paper investigates the local structure of the moduli space of solutions to this system…

Quantization identifies the cotangent bundle of projective space with the (non-Hermitian) rank-$1$ projections of a Hilbert space. We use this identification to study the natural geometric structures of these cotangent bundles and those of…

In this paper, we extend Deligne's functorial Riemann-Roch isomorphism for hermitian holomorphic line bundles on Riemann surfaces to the case of flat, not necessarily unitary connections. The Quillen metric and star-product of Gillet-Soule…

In this paper, we discuss how gauging one-form symmetries in Chern-Simons theories is implemented in an A-twisted topological open string theory. For example, the contribution from a fixed H/Z bundle on a three-manifold M, arising in a BZ…

We use minimal (or CMC) surfaces to describe 3-dimensional hyperbolic, anti-de Sitter, de Sitter or Minkowski manifolds. We consider whether these manifolds admit ``nice'' foliations and explicit metrics, and whether the space of these…

A Chern-Simons matrix model was proposed by Dorey, Tong, and Turner to describe non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall effect. In this paper we study the Hilbert space of the Chern-Simons matrix model from a geometric quantization point of…

We extend Velling's approach and prove that the second variation of the spherical areas of a family of domains defines a Hermitian metric on the universal Teichmuller curve, whose pull back to Diff+(S^1)/S^1 coincides with the Kirillov…

We use the cohomological interpretation of anti-holomorphic derivatives of the isomonodromic deformation of a Higgs bundle, as established in our previous work \cite{HSZ}, to provide a short new proof of the non-existence of holomorphic…

In this paper we study the deformation problem of pairs consisting of a Riemann surface and a holomorphic line bundle over that surface, and also sections thereof. We emphasize a constructive approach throughout and work and use covering…

We consider different large ${\cal N}$ limits of the one-dimensional Chern-Simons action $i\int dt~ \Tr (\del_0 +A_0)$ where $A_0$ is an ${\cal N}\times{\cal N}$ antihermitian matrix. The Hilbert space on which $A_0$ acts as a linear…
