We study the problem of existence of K\"ahler--Einstein metrics on smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank one and anticanonical degree $22$ that admit a faithful action of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^\ast$. We prove that, except…

In this paper we introduce higher extremal Kahler metrics. We provide an example of the same on a minimal ruled surface. We also prove a perturbation result that implies that there are non-trivial examples of higher constant scalar…

Conditions for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and central K\"ahler metrics [MS] along with examples, both old and new, are given on classes of Lorentzian $4$-manifolds with two distinguished vector fields. The results utilize…

In this article, I prove the following statement: Every compact complex surface with even first Betti number is deformation equivalent to one which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric. In fact, this extremal K\"ahler metric can even be taken…

We give a criterion for the existence of a K\"ahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold $M$ in terms of the higher algebraic alpha-invariants $\alpha_{m,k}(M)$.

It's well-known in \kahler geometry that the infinite dimensional symmetric space $\hcal$ of smooth \kahler metrics in a fixed \kahler class on a polarized \kahler manifold is well approximated by finite dimensional submanifolds $\bcal_k…

We introduce a class of almost homogeneous varieties contained in the class of spherical varieties and containing horospherical varieties as well as complete symmetric varieties. We develop K{\"a}hler geometry on these varieties, with…

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…

We introduce different Finsler metrics on the space of smooth K\"ahler potentials that will induce a natural geometry on various finite energy classes $\mathcal E_{\tilde \chi}(X,\omega)$. Motivated by questions raised by R. Berman, V.…

This four-pages note is an invitation to explore explicit K-stability for arbitrary K\"ahler classes of low dimension and low rank spherical varieties. We apply our simple combinatorial criterion of K-stability of rank one spherical…

We establish the following uniformization result for metric spaces $X$ of finite Hausdorff 2-measure. If $X$ is homeomorphic to a smooth 2-manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary, then we show that $X$ admits a quasiconformal almost…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between a class of strictly almost K\"ahler metrics on the one hand, and Lorentzian pp-wave spacetimes on the other; the latter metrics are well known in general relativity, where they model…

We introduce complex singularity exponents of plurisubharmonic functions and prove a general semi-continuity result for them. This concept contains as a special case several similar concepts which have been considered e.g. by Arnold and…

We classify quadruples $(M,g,m,\tau)$ in which $(M,g)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold of complex dimension $m>2$ with a nonconstant function $\tau$ on $M$ such that the conformally related metric $g/\tau^2$, defined wherever $\tau\ne 0$, is…

Let $QF(S)$ be the quasifuchsian space of a closed surface $S$ of genus $g\geq 2$. We construct a new mapping class group invariant K\"ahler metric on $QF(S)$. It is an extension of the Weil-Petersson metric onthe Teichm\"uller space…

We show that certain Galois covers of K-semistable Fano varieties are K-stable. We use this to give some new examples of Fano manifolds admitting K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, including hypersurfaces, double solids and threefolds.

We show that integrability of an almost complex structure in complex dimension $m$ is equivalent, in the presence of an almost hermitian metric, to $m(m-1)$ equations involving what we call shear operators. Inspired by this, we give an…

We classify the Einstein metrics on closed 4-manifolds whose isometry group has dimension at least 3. Consequently, we show that the cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics on a closed $4$-manifold are locally symmetric or homothetic to the Page…

In this short note, we prove the existence of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-ample canonical bundles.
