We study complex hyperbolic disc bundles over closed orientable surfaces that arise from discrete and faithful representations H_n->PU(2,1), where H_n is the fundamental group of the orbifold S^2(2,...,2) and thus contains a surface group…

We show that hyperbolic four-punctured $S^2-$bundles over $S^1$ are distinguished by the finite quotients of their fundamental groups among all 3-manifold groups. To do this, we upgrade a result of Liu to show that the topological type of a…

Let $(E,h)$ be a semipositive hermitian holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$ with $\dim X>1$. Assume that for each point $x\in X$ there exists a divisor $D\in |E|$ in the complete linear system determined by $E$ whose…

Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramfied and let $S$ denote the integral model of the Hilbert modular variety with good reduction at $p$. Consider the usual automorphic line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ over $S$. On the generic…

We associate to an SU(2) hyperbolic monopole a holomorphic sphere embedded in projective space and use this to uncover various features of the monopole.

This article is based on the methods developed in [AGG]. We construct a complex hyperbolic structure on a trivial disc bundle over a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ (of genus 2) thus solving a long standing problem in complex hyperbolic…

We classify $SU(2)$-cyclic and $SU(2)$-abelian 3-manifolds, for which every representation of the fundamental group into $SU(2)$ has cyclic or abelian image respectively, among geometric 3-manifolds which are not hyperbolic. As an…

The Kobayashi pseudometric on a complex manifold is the maximal pseudometric such that any holomorphic map from the Poincar\'e disk to the manifold is distance-decreasing. Kobayashi has conjectured that this pseudometric vanishes on…

Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $F$ a torsion-free and reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$. Assume that $F$ (outside of its singularities) admits a connection with a curvature which is invariant under the standard SU(2)-action on…

We investigate the relationship between three natural invariants of complex hyperbolic disc orbibundles over oriented and closed hyperbolic $2$-orbifolds. These invariants are the Euler characteristic $\chi$ of the $2$-orbifold, the Euler…

We obtain a complete classification of complex Kobayashi-hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $n\ge 2$, for which the dimension of the group of holomorphic automorphisms is equal to $n^2$.

This survey article mainly addresses to graduate students and young researchers in complex geometry willing to enter the beautiful word of connections between curvature and Kobayashi hyperbolicity. It is a detailed account of a recent…

We study two classes of quantum spheres and hyperboloids which are $*$-quantum spaces for the quantum orthogonal group $\mathcal{O}(SO_q(3))$. We construct line bundles over the quantum homogeneous space of invariant elements for the…

The universal cover or the covering group of a hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$ is important but hard to express explicitly. It can be, however, detected by the uniformisation and a suitable description of $X$. Beardon proposed five different…

In this paper, we study a variation of a conjecture of Debarre on positivity of cotangent bundles of complete intersections. We establish the ampleness of Schur powers of cotangent bundles of generic complete intersections in projective…

In this paper we obtain the following results: (1) Any compact Stein surface with boundary embeds naturally into a symplectic Lefschetz fibration over the 2-sphere. (2) There exists a minimal elliptic fibration over the 2-disk, which is not…

Classic work of Pierce and Dauns-Hofmann shows that biregular rings are dual to simple ring bundles over Stone spaces. We extend this duality to Steinberg rings, a purely algebraic generalisation of Steinberg algebras, and ringoid bundles…

We give two new elementary proofs of the complete Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the twice-punctured complex plane. We also present an extremely short proof that bounded domains are complete Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our proofs rely neither on the…

We construct two-dimensional families of complex hyperbolic structures on disc orbibundles over the sphere with three cone points. This contrasts with the previously known examples of the same type, which are locally rigid. In particular,…

Let $N$ be a complete affine manifold $A^n/\Gamma$ of dimension $n$ where $\Gamma$ is an affine transformation group and $K(\Gamma, 1)$ is realized as a finite CW-complex. $N$ has a partially hyperbolic holonomy group if the tangent bundle…
