A twisted quiver bundle is a set of holomorphic vector bundles over a complex manifold, labelled by the vertices of a quiver, linked by a set of morphisms twisted by a fixed collection of holomorphic vector bundles, labelled by the arrows.…
We consider projective Hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of dimension four that are deformation equivalent to Hilbert squares of K3 surfaces. In case such a manifold admits a divisorial contraction, the exceptional divisor is a conic bundle over a…
Moduli spaces of holomorphic disks in a complex manifold Z, with boundaries constrained to lie in a maximal totally real submanifold P, have recently been found to underlie a number of geometrically rich twistor correspondences. The purpose…
For $s >\frac{3}{2}$, the group of Sobolev class s diffeomorphisms of the circle is a smooth manifold modeled on the space of Sobolev class s sections of the tangent bundle of the circle. It is a topological group in the sense that…
We extend Hitchin's results on "The self-duality equations on a Riemann surface" (Proc. LMS (3), vol. 55, 1987) to orbifold Riemann surfaces. We prove existence results for orbifold solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs equations and construct…
We classify the moduli spaces of the four-dimensional topological half-flat gravity models by using the canonical bundle. For a K3-surface or four-dimensional torus, they describe an equivalent class of a trio of the Einstein-Kahler forms (…
In this paper we obtain several curvature properties of the twistor and reflector spaces of a paraquaternionic K\"{a}hler manifold and prove the existence of both positive and negative mixed 3-Sasakian structures in a principal…
In this paper we prove Gamma Conjecture $1$ for twistor bundles of hyperbolic $6$ manifolds, which are monotone symplectic manifolds which admit no K\"ahler structure. The proof involves a direct computation of the $J$-function, and a…
We prove general type results for orthogonal modular varieties associated with the moduli of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds of deformation generalised Kummer type ('deformation generalised Kummer varieties'). In particular, we consider…
he celebrated formula of Schlafli relates the variation of the dihedral angles of a smooth family of polyhedra in a space form and the variation of volume. We give a smooth analogue of this classical formula -- our result relates the…
Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler space with klt singularities and torsion canonical bundle. We show that $X$ admits arbitrarily small deformations that are projective varieties if its locally trivial deformation space is smooth. We then…
We give restrictions on the existence of families of curves on smooth projective surfaces $S$ of nonnegative Kodaira dimension all having constant geometric genus $g \geq 2$ and hyperelliptic normalizations. In particular, we prove a…
Over the moduli space of pointed smooth algebraic curves, the projectivized $k$-th Hodge bundle is the space of $k$-canonical divisors. The incidence loci are defined by requiring the $k$-canonical divisors to have prescribed multiplicities…
We prove a bound relating the volume of a curve near a cusp in a hyperbolic manifold to its multiplicity at the cusp. The proof uses a hybrid technique employing both the geometry of the uniformizing group and the algebraic geometry of the…
In the first part, this paper studies the characteristic rank of the canonical oriented $k$-plane bundle over the Grassmann manifold $SO(n)/(SO(k) \times SO(n-k))$ of oriented $k$-planes in Euclidean $n$-space. It presents infinitely many…
We produce new non-K\"ahler, non-Einstein, complete expanding gradient Ricci solitons with conical asymptotics and underlying manifold of the form $\R^2 \times M_2 \times \cdots \times M_r$, where $r \geq 2$ and $M_i$ are arbitrary closed…
We study the moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces of Picard number at least 3, i.e. $U\oplus \langle -2k \rangle$-polarized K3 surfaces. Such moduli spaces are proved to be of general type for $k\geq 220$. The proof relies on the…
Two results regarding K\"ahler supermanifolds with potential $K=A+C\theta\bar\theta$ are shown. First, if the supermanifold is K\"ahler-Einstein, then its base (the supermanifold of one lower fermionic dimension and with K\"ahler potential…
We prove that for any smooth polarized complex $n$-dimensional manifold $(X, L_X)$ which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L_X)$, and for any integer $k$ large enough (in terms of a bound depending on $(X, L_X)$), the…
We study the natural K\"ahler metrics on moduli spaces of stable oriented pairs in a very general framework, and we prove a universal formula expressing the K\"ahler class of such a moduli space in terms of characteristic classes of the…
