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…

On a complex manifold an Hermitian metric which is simultaneously SKT and balanced has to be necessarily K\"ahler. It has been conjectured that if a compact complex manifold (M,J) has an SKT metric and a balanced metric both compatible with…

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…

In the paper we study the existence of balanced metrics of Hodge-Riemann type on non-K\"ahler complex manifolds. We first find some general obstructions, for instance that a Hodge-Riemann balanced manifold of complex dimension $n$ has to be…

We complete the classification of six-dimensional strongly unimodular almost nilpotent Lie algebras admitting complex structures. For several cases we describe the space of complex structures up to isomorphism. As a consequence we determine…

LVMB manifolds are a class of non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds with a remarkably rich geometry: in many cases they admit a holomorphic bundle structure over a compact toric manifold. In fact, such a bundle is determined by an…

A Hermitian-symplectic metric is a Hermitian metric whose K\"ahler form is given by the $(1,1)$-part of a closed $2$-form. Streets-Tian Conjecture states that a compact complex manifold admitting a Hermitian-symplectic metric must be…

We consider balanced metrics on complex manifolds with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle, most commonly known as balanced $\rm{SU}(n)$-structures. Such structures are of interest for both Hermitian geometry and string theory, since…

A hypercomplex structure on a differentiable manifold consists of three integrable almost complex structures that satisfy quaternionic relations. If, in addition, there exists a metric on the manifold which is Hermitian with respect to the…

A complex Hermitian $n$-manifold $(M,I, \omega)$ is called locally conformally Kahler (LCK) if $d\omega=\theta\wedge\omega$, where $\theta$ is a closed 1-form, balanced if $\omega^{n-1}$ is closed, and SKT if $dId\omega=0$. We conjecture…

We investigate the existence of strong K\"ahler with torsion metrics along deformations of the Iwasawa manifold and of the holomorphically parallelizable Nakamura manifold. We also show that the class of deformations of the holomorphically…

In this note we present, for every $n \geq 4$, a non-K\"ahler compact complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$ admitting a balanced metric and an astheno-K\"ahler metric which is in addition $k$-th Gauduchon for any $1\leq k\leq n-1$.

The property of admitting an astheno-K\"ahler metric is not stable under the action of small deformations of the complex structure of a compact complex manifold. In this paper, we prove necessary cohomological conditions for the existence…

In this article, we examine the behavior of the Riemannian and Hermitian curvature tensors of a Hermitian metric, when one of the curvature tensors obeys all the symmetry conditions of the curvature tensor of a K\"ahler metric. We will call…
