We are concerned in this article with a classical question in spectral geometry dating back to McKean-Singer, Patodi and Tanno: whether or not the constancy of holomorphic sectional curvature of a complex $n$-dimensional compact K\"ahler…

Carrying further work of T.A. Crawford, we show that each component of the space of harmonic maps from the $2$-sphere to complex projective $2$-space of degree $d$ and energy $4 \pi E$ is a smooth closed submanifold of the space of all…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group, K a maximal compact subgroup and V an irreducible representation of K. Denote by M the unique closed orbit of G in P(V) and by O its image via the moment map. For any measure on M we construct a map…

A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers $(p,n)$ such that $p\leq 2n$, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on $p$-forms of a compact K\"{a}hler manifold are the same as those of $\mathbb{C}P^n$…

The well-known K\"ahler identities naturally extend to the non-integrable setting. This paper deduces several geometric and topological consequences of these extended identities for compact almost K\"ahler manifolds. Among these are…

One of the main purposes of this paper is to prove that on a complete K\"ahler manifold of dimension $m$, if the holomorphic bisectional curvature is bounded from below by -1 and the minimum spectrum $\lambda_1(M) \ge m^2$, then it must…

We review our present understanding of heterotic compactifications on non-Kahler complex manifolds with torsion. Most of these manifolds can be obtained by duality chasing a consistent F-theory compactification in the presence of fluxes. We…

A Finsler space $(M,F)$ is called flag-wise positively curved, if for any $x\in M$ and any tangent plane $\mathbf{P}\subset T_xM$, we can find a nonzero vector $y\in \mathbf{P}$, such that the flag curvature $K^F(x,y, \mathbf{P})>0$. Though…

We show that any conformal vector field on a compact lcK manifold is Killing with respect to the Gauduchon metric. Furthermore, we prove that any conformal vector field on a compact lcK manifold whose K\"ahler cover is neither flat, nor…

If $f$ is an automorphism of a compact simply connected K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle that fixes a K\"ahler class, then the order of $f$ is finite. We apply this well known result to construct compact non-K\"ahler…

We study the possible singularities of an $m$-subharmonic function $\varphi$ along a complex submanifold $V$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold, finding a maximal rate of growth for $\varphi$ which depends only on $m$ and $k$, the codimension…

We prove a theorem which asserts that the Lie algebra of all holomorphic vector fields on a compact K\"ahler manifold with a perturbed extremal metric has the structure similar to the case of an unperturbed extremal K\"ahler metric proved…

Given a triangulated region in the complex plane, a discrete vector field $Y$ assigns a vector $Y_i\in \mathbb{C}$ to every vertex. We call such a vector field holomorphic if it defines an infinitesimal deformation of the triangulation that…
