We give an elementary argument to compute the $\alpha$-invariant of this Fano 3-fold, which implies the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric.
It has been known that nonsingular Fano threefolds of Picard rank one with the anti-canonical degree 22 admitting faithful actions of the multiplicative group form a one-dimensional family. Cheltsov and Shramov showed that all but two of…
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…
We classify equivariant *-homomorphisms between C*-dynamical systems associated to actions of finite groups on C*-algebras with the Rokhlin property. In addition, the given actions are classified. An obstruction is obtained for the Cuntz…
Extending well-known results on surfaces, we give bounds on the cohomological action of automorphisms of compact K\"ahler threefolds. More precisely, if the action is virtually unipotent we prove that the norm of $(f^n)^*$ grows at most as…
We compute global log canonical thresholds, or equivalently alpha invariants, of birationally rigid orbifold Fano threefolds embedded in weighted projective spaces as codimension two or three. As an important application, we prove that most…
Let $(F,J,\omega)$ be an almost K\"ahler manifold, $\alpha$ a $J$-holomorphic action of a compact Lie group $\hat K$ on $F$, and $K$ a closed normal subgroup of $\hat K$ which leaves $\omega$ invariant. We introduce gauge theoretical…
We introduce the notion of symmetric obstruction theory and study symmetric obstruction theories which are compatible with C*-actions. We prove that the contribution of an isolated fixed point under a C*-action to equivariant…
Let (X,\Omega) be a closed polarized complex manifold, g be an extremal metric on X that represents the K\"ahler class \Omega, and G be a compact connected subgroup of the isometry group Isom(X,g). Assume that the Futaki invariant relative…
We study the action of the mapping class group Mod(S) on the boundary dQ of quasifuchsian space Q. Among other results, Mod(S) is shown to be topologically transitive on the subset C in dQ of manifolds without a conformally compact end. We…
In this short note, we show that given a special K\"ahler-Einstein degeneration with bounded geometry, for any noncentral fiber, there exists a K\"ahler-Ricci flow which converges to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric of the central fiber. As an…
We give a criterion for the coercivity of the Mabuchi functional for general K\"ahler classes on Fano manifolds in terms of Tian's alpha invariant. This generalises a result of Tian in the anti-canonical case implying the existence of a…
We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics on complements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous manifolds and discuss when this metric is complete and K\"ahler. This construction has a strong interplay…
An example of a finite dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf C-algebra is given by a quotient H=u_q(g) of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g) at a root of unity q of odd degree. The mapping class group M_{g,1} of a surface of…
We organize the quantum hyperbolic invariants (QHI) of $3$-manifolds into sequences of rational functions indexed by the odd integers $N\geq 3$ and defined on moduli spaces of geometric structures refining the character varieties. In the…
In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…
A typical crystal is a finite piece of a material which may be invariant under some point symmetry group. If it is a so-called intrinsic higher-order topological insulator or superconductor, then it displays boundary modes at hinges or…
We define the notion of invariant derivation of a C*-algebra under a compact quantum group action and prove that in certain conditions, such derivations are generators of one parameter automorphism groups.
We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…
We study topological quivers $Q$ admitting a free and proper action by a locally compact group $G$ together with their associated $C^*$-algebras. On the topological side, we provide a complete classification of topological quivers which…
