Let $X$ denote the complex projective plane, blown up at the nine base points of a pencil of cubics, and let $D$ be any fiber of the resulting elliptic fibration on $X$. Using ansatz metrics inspired by work of Gross-Wilson and a PDE method…
We outline a method to determine analytic K\"ahler potentials with associated approximately Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Key ingredients are numerically calculating Ricci-flat K\"ahler potentials via machine learning…
Let $D$ be a smooth divisor in a compact complex manifold $X$ and let $\beta \in (0,1)$. We show that in any positive co-homology class on $X$ there is a K\"ahler metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along $D$ which has bounded Ricci…
Let $(\mathscr{C}, \omega_{\mathscr{C}})$ be a Ricci-flat, simply connected, conical K\"ahler manifold. We establish a Liouville theorem for constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metrics on $\mathscr{C}$. The theorem asserts that any…
We study adiabatic limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a Calabi-Yau manifold which is the total space of a holomorphic fibration when the volume of the fibers goes to zero. By establishing some new a priori estimates for the relevant…
In this article we study the K\"ahler Ricci flow, the corresponding parabolic Monge Amp\`{e}re equation and complete non-compact K\"ahler Ricci flat manifolds. In our main result Theorem \ref{mainthm} we prove that if $(M, g)$ is…
It is known that moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds are special K\"ahler manifolds. This structure determines the corresponding low-energy effective theory which arises in superstring compactifications on CY manifolds. In the case,…
We construct new examples of quasi-asymptotically conical (QAC) Calabi-Yau manifolds that are not quasi-asymptotically locally Euclidean (QALE). We do so by first providing a natural compactification of QAC-spaces by manifolds with fibred…
We formulate an extension of the Calabi conjecture to the setting of generalized K\"ahler geometry. We show a transgression formula for the Bismut Ricci curvature in this setting, which requires a new local Goto/Kodaira-Spencer deformation…
The moduli spaces of Calabi--Yau (CY) manifolds are the special K\"ahler manifolds. The special K\"ahler geometry determines the low-energy effective theory which arises in Superstring theory after the compactification on a CY manifold. For…
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of the form-type Calabi-Yau equation on K\"ahler manifolds of nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature.
Given a weighted line arrangement in the projective plane, with weights satisfying natural constraint conditions, we show the existence of a Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric with cone singularities along the lines asymptotic to a polyhedral…
We show that if $X$ is a smooth Fano manifold which caries a K\"ahler Ricci soliton, then the canonical cone of the product of $X$ with a complex projective space of sufficiently large dimension is a Calabi--Yau cone. This can be seen as an…
We review some previous results about the Calabi-Yau equation on the Kodaira-Thurston manifold equipped with an invariant almost-Kaehler structure and assuming the volume form invariant by the action of a torus. In particular, we observe…
This is an expository paper which aims to give a simple proof of the existence of Ricci-flat metrics on certain K3 surfaces, as an illustration of general "glueing" techniques.
We survey some recent developments on the problem of understanding degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with their Ricci-flat Kahler metrics, with an emphasis on the case when the metrics are volume collapsing.
We show that the Calabi-Yau metrics with isolated conical singularities of Hein-Sun admit polyhomogeneous expansions near their singularities. Moreover, we show that, under certain generic assumptions, natural families of smooth Calabi-Yau…
We consider the space of Kahler metrics as a Riemannian submanifold of the space of Riemannian metrics, and study the associated submanifold geometry. In particular, we show that the intrinsic and extrinsic distance functions are…
We show that degenerate complex Monge-Ampere equations in a big cohomology class of a compact Kaehler manifold can be solved using a variational method independent of Yau's theorem. Our formulation yields in particular a natural…
We construct complete Calabi-Yau metrics on non-compact manifolds that are smoothings of an initial complete intersection $V_0$ that is a Calabi-Yau cone, extending the work of Sz\'ekelyhidi (2019). The constructed Calabi-Yau manifold has…
