This is the second of two papers that describe a compactness theorem for sequences of solutions of certain SL(2;C) analogs of the anti-self dual equations on oriented, 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. This paper proves theorems that…

We study the pseudoduality transformations in two dimensional N = (2, 2) sigma models on K\"ahler manifolds. We show that structures on the target space can be transformed into the pseudodual manifolds by means of (anti)holomorphic…

We study $p$-adic manifolds associated with twisted points of quotient stacks $\mathcal{X} = [U/G]$ and their quotient spaces $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to X$. We prove several structural results about the fibres of $\pi$ and derive in particular a…

In this work, we study (anti-)self duality conditions in unconventional conformal supersymmetry. We focus on a theory constructed in a Townsend-MacDowell-Mansouri form for an $SU(2,2|N)$ gauge connection with matter fields in the adjoint…

We construct new examples of constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler metrics on suitable resolutions of certain constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler orbifolds with type I singularities, in the sense of Apostolov--Rollin, along a suborbifold of…

We prove that a closed oriented Einstein four-manifold is either anti-self-dual or (after passing to a double Riemann cover if necessary) K\"ahler-Einstein, provided that $\lambda_2 \geq -\frac{S}{12}$, where $\lambda_2$ is the middle…

We prove several results about integral versions of Fourier duality for abelian schemes, making use of Pappas's work on integral Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch. If $S$ is smooth quasi-projective of dimension $d$ over a field and $\pi \colon X\to…

We prove that any compact selfdual Einstein 4-orbifold of positive scalar curvature whose isometry group contains a 2-torus is, up to an orbifold covering, a quaternion Kaehler quotient of (k-1)-dimensional quaternionic projective space by…

We construct the normal forms of null-K\"ahler metrics: pseudo-Riemannian metrics admitting a compatible parallel nilpotent endomorphism of the tangent bundle. Such metrics are examples of non-Riemannian holonomy reduction, and (in the…

We develop a graphical representation of polynomial invariants of unitary gauge groups, and use it to find the algebraic curve corresponding to a hyperkahler quotient of a linear space. We apply this method to four dimensional ALE spaces,…

The moduli-space metric in the static non-Abelian charge-two sector of the Moyal-deformed CP^1 sigma model in 1+2 dimensions is analyzed. After recalling the commutative results of Ward and Ruback and the zeta-regularized construction of…

We show that for generic choices of parameters the moduli spaces of periodic monopoles (with singularities), i.e. monopoles on $\mathbb{R}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{1}$ possibly singular at a finite collection of points, are either empty or…

We extend equivariant dimensional reduction techniques to the case of quantum spaces which are the product of a Kaehler manifold M with the quantum two-sphere. We work out the reduction of bundles which are equivariant under the natural…

We introduce self-dual manifolds and show that they can be used to encode mirror symmetry for affine-K\"{a}hler manifolds and for elliptic curves. Their geometric properties, especially the link with special lagrangian fibrations and the…

We use deformations of Lie algebra homomorphisms to construct deformations of dispersionless integrable systems arising as symmetry reductions of anti--self--dual Yang--Mills equations with a gauge group Diff$(S^1)$.

For $U(2)$-invariant 4-metrics, we show that the $B^t$-flat metrics are very different from the other canonical metrics (Bach-flat, Einstein, extremal K\"ahler, etc). We show every $U(2)$-invariant metric is conformal to two separate…

The self-dual Einstein equations on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold can be expressed as a quadratic condition on the curvature of an $SU(2)$ (spin) connection which is a covariant generalization of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations. Local…

Anti-self-dual metrics in the $(++--)$ signature which admit a covariantly constant real spinor are studied. It is shown that finding such metrics reduces to solving a fourth order integrable PDE, and some examples are given. The…

We introduce a natural map from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a complex manifold to the corresponding one on the infinitesimal deformations of this complex manifold. By use of this map, we generalize an extension…

We present a first-principles derivation of the K\"ahler metric for axion-like moduli of conformally Calabi-Yau compactifications of IIB string theory with imaginary self-dual 3-form flux at the classical level. We find that the warp factor…
