Given a closed $n$-manifold, we consider the set of simple homotopy types of $n$-manifolds within its homotopy type, called its simple homotopy manifold set. We characterise it in terms of algebraic K-theory, the surgery obstruction map,…
We give new counterexamples to a question of Karsten Grove, whether there are only finitely many rational homotopy types among simply connected manifolds satisfying the assumptions of Gromov's Betti number theorem. Our counterexamples are…
This master's thesis contains an introduction to $A_\infty$-algebras and homological perturbation theory. We then discuss the formality of compact K\"ahler manifolds and present a direct proof of a homotopy transfer principle of…
We construct non-K\"{a}hler simply connected Calabi-Yau 3-folds with arbitrarily large 2nd Betti numbers by smoothing normal crossing varieties with trivial dualizing sheaves.
Oeljeklaus-Toma (OT) manifolds are higher dimensional analogues of Inoue-Bombieri surfaces and their construction is associated to a finite extension $K$ of $Q$ and a subgroup of units $U$. We characterize the existence of pluriclosed…
We study which lens spaces can bound smooth 4-manifolds with second Betti number one under various topological conditions. Specifically, we show that there are infinite families of lens spaces that bound compact, simply-connected, smooth…
We exhibit many examples of closed symplectic manifolds on which there is an autonomous Hamiltonian whose associated flow has no nonconstant periodic orbits (the only previous explicit example in the literature was the torus T^2n (n\geq 2)…
For geometries with a closed three-form we briefly overview the notion of multi-moment maps. We then give concrete examples of multi-moment maps for homogeneous hypercomplex and nearly Kaehler manifolds. A special role in the theory is…
In this paper, we show that any compact K$\"a$hler manifold homotopic to a compact Riemannian manifold with negative sectional curvature admits a K$\"a$hler-Einstein metric of general type. Moreover, we prove that, on a compact symplectic…
In the literature, there are two different versions of Hard Lefschetz theorems for a compact Sasakian manifold. The first version, due to Kacimi-Alaoui, asserts that the basic cohomology of a compact Sasakian manifold satisfies the…
We study invariant pseudo-K\"ahler structures on a solvmanifold $G$ such that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is almost abelian, that is $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{h}\rtimes\mathbb{R}$, with $\mathfrak{h}$ abelian; comparing with the…
This is a sequel to [Ca01]=math.AG/0110051. We define the bimeromorphic {\it category} of geometric orbifolds. These interpolate between (compact K\" ahler) manifolds and such manifolds with logarithmic structure. These geometric orbifolds…
We classify flat strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds with (necessarily) indefinite metric. Any such manifold is locally the product of a flat pseudo-K\"ahler factor of maximal dimension and a strict flat nearly K\"ahler manifold of split…
Let $L_f$ be a link of an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by a weighted homogenous polynomial $f.$ In this article, we give ten examples of $2$-connected seven dimensional Sasaki-Einstein manifolds $L_f$ for which $H_{3}(L_f,…
We complete the classification of compact Hermitian manifolds admitting a flat Gauduchon connection. In particular, we establish a conjecture of Yang and Zheng, showing that apart from the cases of a flat Chern or Bismut connection, such…
Let $M^n$ be a compact K$\ddot{a}$hler manifold with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonzero first Betti number. We show that the holomorphic Euler number of $M^n$ vanishes, which gives a new obstruction for compact complex manifolds…
We study the local structure of the singularity in the moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface which has been resolved by K O'Grady in his construction of new examples of hyperkaehler manifolds. In particular, we identify the singularity…
We give a partial account of some problems concerning cohomological invariants and metric properties of complex non-K\"ahler manifolds.
In this short note, we prove that on a compact K\"ahler variety $X$ with log terminal singularities and $c_1(X)=0$, any singular Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric has orbifold singularities in restriction to the orbifold locus of $X$.
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…
