Given a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension 4, we consider submanifolds of (real) dimension 4, whose Kaehler angles coincide. We call these submanifolds Cayley. We investigate some of their basic properties, and prove that (a) if the…
This note presents basic restrictions on the topology "general" Lagrangian surfaces of hyper-K\"ahler $4$-folds and a remark on the interaction of a Lagrangian subvariety with a Lagrangian fibration of the associated hyper-K\"ahler variety.
A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ is called {\em astheno-K\"ahler} if its fundamental $2$-form $F$ satisfies the condition $\partial \overline \partial F^{n - 2} =0$. If $n =3$, then the metric is {\em strong…
The moduli space for polarized hyperk\"ahler manifolds of $\mathrm{K3}^{[m]}$-type or $\mathrm{Kum}_m$-type with a given polarization type is not necessarily connected, which is a phenomenon that only happens for $m$ large. The period map…
We show that the natural S^1-bundle over a projective special Kaehler manifold carries the geometry of a proper affine hypersphere endowed with a Sasakian structure. The construction generalizes the geometry of the Hopf-fibration…
The conformal infinity of a quaternionic-Kahler metric on a 4n-manifold with boundary is a codimension 3-distribution on the boundary called quaternionic contact. In dimensions 4n-1 greater than 7, a quaternionic contact structure is always…
We study the essential dimension of the set of isometry classes of $m$-tuples $(\varphi_1,...,\varphi_m)$ of quadratic $n$-fold Pfister forms over a field $F$ such that the Witt class of $\varphi_1 \perp \ldots \perp \varphi_m$ lies in…
Hyperholomorphic bundle is a bundle with connection defined over a hyperkaehler manifold such that this connection is holomorphic with respect to all complex structures induced by a hyperkaehler structure. A hyperholomorphic connection is…
A prism is the product space $\Delta \times I$ where $\Delta$ is a 2-simplex and $I$ is a closed interval. As an analogue of simplicial complexes, we introduce prism complexes and show that every compact $3$-manifold has a prism complex…
In this work we prove that any unitary Sobolev $W^{1,2}$ connection of an Hermitian bundle over a 2-dimensional K\"ahler manifold whose curvature is $(1,1)$ defines a smooth holomorphic structure. We prove moreover that such a connection…
In this note we consider submersions from compact manifolds, homotopy equivalent to the Eschenburg or Bazaikin spaces of positive curvature. We show that if the submersion is nontrivial, the dimension of the base is greater than the…
We show that hyperplane sections of strongly formal manifolds inherit strong formality. In particular, this property holds for generalized complete intersections defined by positive line bundles with trivial first de Rham cohomology group.…
A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with three complex structures I, J, K satisfying the quaternionic relations. Let M be a 4-dimensional compact smooth manifold equipped with a hypercomplex structure, and E be a vector bundle on…
We study principal curvatures of fibers and Heegaard surfaces smoothly embedded in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. It is well known that a fiber or a Heegaard surface in a hyperbolic 3-manifold cannot have principal curvatures everywhere less than…
Given a (meromorphic) fibration $f:X\to Y$ where $X$ and $Y$ are compact complex manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $m$, we define $L_f$ to be the invertible subsheaf of the sheaf of holomorphic $m$-forms of $X$ given by the saturation of…
We study fundamental groups of toroidal compactifications of non compact ball quotients and show that the Shafarevich conjecture on holomorphic convexity for these complex projective manifolds is satisfied in dimension 2 provided the…
The paper has three parts. It is conjectured that for every elementary amenable group G and every non-zero commutative ring k, the homological dimension of G over k is equal to the Hirsch length of G whenever G has no k-torsion. In Part I…
We introduce three measures of complexity for families of sets. Each of the three measures, that we call dimensions, is defined in terms of the minimal number of convex subfamilies that are needed for covering the given family: for upper…
This paper has 3 principal goals: (1) to survey what is know about mapping class and Torelli groups of simply connected compact Kaehler manifolds, (2) supplement these results, and (3) present a list of questions and open problems to…
We show that the deformation space of complex parallelisable nilmanifolds can be described by polynomial equations but is almost never smooth. This is remarkable since these manifolds have trivial canonical bundle and are holomorphic…
