Let $\bar{L}_i\lr X_i$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i=1,2$. Let $S_i$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on $\bar{L}_i$. We construct complex…

We follow our study of non-K\"ahler complex structures on $R^4$ that we defined in a previous paper. We prove that these complex surfaces do not admit any smooth complex compactification. Moreover, we give an explicit description of their…

In this paper we investigate the existence of invariant SKT, balanced and generalized K\"ahler structures on compact quotients $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G$ is an almost nilpotent Lie group whose nilradical has one-dimensional commutator…

For an almost contact metric manifold $N$, we find conditions for which either the total space of an $S^1$-bundle over $N$ or the Riemannian cone over $N$ admits a strong K\"ahler with torsion (SKT) structure. In this way we construct new…

In the present paper we provide a construction via mapping tori of (non Bismut flat) strong HKT and generalized hyperk\"ahler structures on compact manifolds. The skew-symmetric torsion is parallel, but the manifolds are not a product of a…

It has been conjectured by Fino and Vezzoni that a compact complex manifold admitting both a compatible SKT and a compatible balanced metric also admits a compatible K\"ahler metric. Using the shear construction and classification results…

We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…

We investigate compact complex manifolds endowed with SKT or balanced metrics. In each case we define a new functional whose critical points are proved to be precisely the K\"ahler metrics, if any, on the manifold. As general manifolds of…

We study the existence of three classes of Hermitian metrics on certain types of compact complex manifolds. More precisely, we consider balanced, SKT and astheno-K\"ahler metrics. We prove that the twistor spaces of compact hyperk\"ahler…

We construct examples of compact hyperkaehler manifolds with torsion (HKT manifolds) which are not homogeneous and not locally conformal hyperkaehler. Consider a total space T of a tangent bundle over a hyperkaehler manifold M. The manifold…

We investigate compact Kahler manifolds, which are acted on by a semisimple compact Lie group G of isometries with one hypersurface orbit. In case of ordinary action and projectable complex structure, we set up a one to one correspondence…

For a connected Lie group G, we show that a complex structure on the total space TG of the tangent bundle of G that is left invariant and has the property that each left translation G-orbit is a totally real submanifold is induced from a…

We introduce integrable complex structures on twistor spaces fibered over complex manifolds. We then show, in particular, that the twistor spaces associated with generalized Kahler, SKT and strong HKT manifolds all naturally admit complex…

Let G be a Lie goup, let M and N be smooth connected G-manifolds, let f be a smooth G-map from M to N, and let P denote the fiber of f. Given a closed and equivariantly closed relative 2-form for f with integral periods, we construct the…

Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…

We construct a compact 6-dimensional solvmanifold endowed with a non-trivial invariant generalized K\"ahler structure and which does not admit any K\"ahler metric. This is in contrast with the case of nilmanifolds which cannot admit any…

We present some fundamental facts about a class of generalized K\"ahler structures defined by invariant complex structures on compact Lie groups. The main computational tool is the BH-to-GK spectral sequences that relate the bi-Hermitian…

In the present paper we study SKT and generalized K\"ahler structures on solvable Lie algebras with (not necessarily abelian) codimension two nilradical. We treat separately the case of $J$-invariant nilradical and non $J$-invariant…

Using the theory of totally real number fields we construct a new class of compact complex non-K{\"a}hler manifolds in every even complex dimension and study their analytic and geometric properties.

A CY bundle on a connected compact complex manifold $X$ was a crucial ingredient in constructing differential systems for period integrals in [LY], by lifting line bundles from the base $X$ to the total space. A question was therefore…
