In this letter we demonstrate that the intersection form of the Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo compactification of a four dimensional ALF gravitational instanton is definite and diagonalizable over the integers if one of the Kahler forms of the…
We study the space of L^2 harmonic forms on complete manifolds with metrics of fibred boundary or fibred cusp type. These metrics generalize the geometric structures at infinity of several different well-known classes of metrics, including…
We give an original analytic construction of hyperkahler ALF metrics on some ALE spaces of dihedral type, namely the spaces corresponding to minimal resolutions of Kleinian quotients relative to some binary dihedral group.
In this article, we study harmonic symmetries on the compact locally conformally K\"{a}hler manifold $M$ of $dim_{\mathbb{C}}=n$. The space of harmonic symmetries is a subspace of harmonic differential forms which defined by the kernel of a…
Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various…
This paper is the sequel of our previous article "From ALE to ALF gravitational instantons", where we constructed ALF hyperkahler metrics on minimal resolutions of dihedral Kleinian singularities. In the present article we generalize the…
We relate the dimensions of $L^p$ reduced cohomology spaces in degree k of an ALE manifold to the dimension of some spaces of decaying harmonic forms, depending both on p and on k. In this class of manifolds, this provides an extension to…
The conformal symmetry on the instanton moduli space is discussed using the ADHM construction, where a viewpoint of "homogeneous coordinates" for both the spacetime and the moduli space turns out to be useful. It is shown that the conformal…
We obtain $D_k$ ALF gravitational instantons by a gluing construction which captures, in a precise and explicit fashion, their interpretation as non-linear superpositions of the moduli space of centred $SU(2)$ monopoles, equipped with the…
We construct D_k asymptotically locally flat gravitational instantons as moduli spaces of solutions of Nahm equations. This allows us to find their twistor spaces and Kahler potentials.
We model A_k and D_k asymptotically locally flat gravitational instantons on the moduli spaces of solutions of U(2) Bogomolny equations with prescribed singularities. We study these moduli spaces using Ward correspondence and find their…
The relationship between associative composition algebras of dimensions 2 and 4 within the context of homogeneous spaces, with a particular focus on Hamiltonian quaternions, is explored. In the special case of Hamiltonian quaternions, the…
For fibred boundary and fibred cusp metrics, Hausel, Hunsicker, and Mazzeo identified the space of $L^2$ harmonic forms of fixed degree with the images of maps between intersection cohomology groups of an associated stratified space…
In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…
There are two known classes of gravitational instantons with quadratic volume growth at infinity, known as type ALG and ALG$^*$. Gravitational instantons of type ALG were previously classified by Chen-Chen. In this paper, we prove a…
In this article, we consider $L^{2}$ harmonic forms on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold $X$ with a nonzero parallel form $\omega$. The main result is that if $(X,\omega)$ is a complete $G_{2}$- ( or $Spin(7)$-) manifold with a…
Second-order automorphic forms are similar to the usual automorphic forms but have a weaker automorphy condition. We answer a question of Zagier and find the dimensions of spaces of holomorphic, even weight, second-order forms. We also…
Motivated by the work of Cappell, Deturck, Gluch and Miller, we extend the notion of cohomology of harmonic forms (of a compact manifold with boundary) to the abstract setting of Hilbert complexes. Then, we present some geometric…
Theorem. Let M be a compact, connected, oriented smooth Riemannian n-manifold with non-empty boundary. Then the cohomology of the complex (Harm*(M),d) of harmonic forms on M is given by the direct sum H^p(Harm*(M),d) = H^p(M;R) +…
Complex manifolds with compatible metric have a naturally defined subspace of harmonic differential forms that satisfy Serre, Hodge, and conjugation duality, as well as hard Lefschetz duality. This last property follows from a…
