Let (X,I,J,K) be a compact hypercomplex manifold, i.e. a smooth manifold X with an action of the quaternion algebra (Id,I,J,K) on the tangent bundle TX, inducing integrable almost complex structures. For any $(a, b, c) \in S^2$, the linear…

We show that for generic choices of parameters the moduli spaces of periodic monopoles (with singularities), i.e. monopoles on $\mathbb{R}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{1}$ possibly singular at a finite collection of points, are either empty or…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a morphism of complex manifolds. Suppose that $X$ is a K\"ahler manifold. Let $(\mathcal{T},\mathcal{S})$ be a regular polarized pure twistor $\mathcal{D}$-module of weight $w$ on $X$ whose support is proper over $Y$. We…

We describe the local structure of Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature which admit a maximum number, in a well-defined sense, of local warped-product decompositions, and at the same time their Ricci tensor has, at some point, only…

A Kuranishi space is a topological space with a Kuranishi structure, defined by Fukaya and Ono. Kuranishi structures occur naturally on moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. This paper is a brief introduction to the…

We provide an algebraic description of the Teichm\"uller space and moduli space of flat metrics on a closed manifold or orbifold and study its boundary, which consists of (isometry classes of) flat orbifolds to which the original object may…

For any integer $k$ we construct an explicit example of a twistor space which contains a one--parameter family of jumping rational curves, where the normal bundle changes from $O(1)+O(1)$ to $O(k)+O(2-k)$. For $k>3$ the resulting…

Let X be a compact 4-manifold with boundary. We study the space of hyperk\"ahler triples on X, modulo diffeomorphisms which are the identity on the boundary. We prove that this moduli space is a smooth infinite-dimensional manifold and…

The twistor construction for Riemannian manifolds is extended to the case of manifolds endowed with generalized metrics (in the sense of generalized geometry \`a la Hitchin). The generalized twistor space associated to such a manifold is…

This is a comment on the Kuranishi method of constructing analytic deformation spaces. It is based on a simple observation that the Kuranishi map can always be inverted in the category of $L_{\infty}$-algebras. The $L_{\infty}$-structure…

We prove that, for every compact Kaehler manifold, the period map of its Kuranishi family is induced by a natural L-infinity morphism. This implies, by standard facts about L-infinity algebras, that the period map is a "morphism of…

Following an earlier paper on the differential-geometric structure of the moduli space of special Lagrangian submanifolds in a Calabi-Yau manifold, we follow an analogous approach for compact complex Lagrangian submanifolds of a…

Essential dimension of a family of complex manifolds is the dimension of the image of its base in the Kuranishi space of the fiber. We prove that any family of hyperk\"ahler manifolds over a compact simply connected base has essential…

The goal of this short article is to describe the local structure of the Teichm\"uller stack of [8] in the neighborhood of a K\"ahler point. In particular we show that at a generic K\"ahler point X, Catanese Kur=Teich question, when…

Generalized complex geometry, as developed by Hitchin, contains complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. In this thesis, we explore novel phenomena exhibited by this geometry, such as the natural action of a B-field.…

Let $X=\overline{X}-D$ be a smooth quasi-projective curve. In arXiv:2110.12300 we constructed a Deligne-Hitchin modui space with Hecke gauge groupoid for connections of rank $2$. We extend this construction to the case of any rank $r$,…

We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…

We construct the Kuranishi spaces, or in other words, the versal deformations, for the following classes of connections with fixed divisor of poles $D$: all such connections, as well as for its subclasses of integrable, integrable…

We obtain a compactness result for various classes of Riemannian metrics in dimension four; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual metrics, Kahler metrics with constant scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. With…

In a paper (math.DG/0403528) we obtained explicit examples of Moishezon twistor spaces of some compact self-dual four-manifolds admitting a non-trivial Killing field, and also determined their moduli space. In this note we investigate…
