We solve the quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation on hyperK\"ahler manifolds. In this way we prove the ansatz for the conjecture raised by Alesker and Verbitsky claiming that this equation should be solvable on any hyperK\"ahler with…
In this paper, we establish diameter bounds for compact K\"ahler manifolds equipped with K\"ahler metrics $\omega$, assuming the associated measure lies in a specific Orlicz space and satisfies an integrability condition. Firstly, we prove…
We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted…
Finding Ricci-flat (Calabi-Yau) metrics is a long standing problem in geometry with deep implications for string theory and phenomenology. A new attack on this problem uses neural networks to engineer approximations to the Calabi-Yau metric…
Ricci flat metrics for Calabi-Yau threefolds are not known analytically. In this work, we employ techniques from machine learning to deduce numerical flat metrics for the Fermat quintic, for the Dwork quintic, and for the Tian-Yau manifold.…
The four-dimensional effective theory for type IIB warped flux compactifications proposed in [1] is completed by taking into account the backreaction of the K\"ahler moduli on the three-form fluxes. The only required modification consists…
We investigate the Kahler-Ricci flow on holomorphic fiber spaces whose generic fiber is a Calabi-Yau manifold. We establish uniform metric convergence to a metric on the base, away from the singular fibers, and show that the rescaled…
Recently, Qi S.Zhang [26] has derived a sharp Li-Yau estimate for positive solutions of the heat equation on closed Riemannian manifolds with the Ricci curvature bounded below by a negative constant. The proof is based on an integral…
We show that the parabolic quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation on a compact hyperk\"ahler manifold has always a long-time solution which once normalized converges smoothly to a solution of the quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation. This is…
We construct many new examples of complete Calabi-Yau metrics of maximal volume growth on certain smoothings of Cartesian products of Calabi-Yau cones with smooth cross-sections. A detailed description of the geometry at infinity of these…
We study the real Monge-Amp\`ere equation in two and three dimensions, both from the point of view of the SYZ conjecture, where solutions give rise to semi-flat Calabi-Yau's and in affine differential geometry, where solutions yield…
This is an invitation to the probabilistic approach for constructing K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on complex projective algebraic manifolds X. The metrics in question emerge in the large N-limit from a canonical way of sampling N points on X,…
Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds play a ubiquitous role in string theory. As a supersymmetry-preserving choice for the 6 extra compact dimensions of superstring compactifications, these spaces provide an arena in which to explore the rich…
This is a short expository note about Calabi-Yau manifolds and degenerations of their Ricci-flat metrics.
Understanding which effective field theories are consistent with an ultraviolet completion in quantum gravity is an important theoretical question. Therefore, it is important to know the structure of the 4D effective theory associated with…
We adapt the PDE approach of Guo-Phong-Tong and Guo-Phong-Tong-Wang [17, 18] to prove an $L^\infty$ estimate for transverse complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on homologically orientable transverse K\"ahler manifolds. As an application, we…
We prove that a Kahler supermetric on a supermanifold with one complex fermionic dimension admits a super Ricci-flat supermetric if and only if the bosonic metric has vanishing scalar curvature. As a corollary, it follows that Yau's theorem…
We consider the natural generalization of the parabolic Monge-Amp\`ere equation to HKT geometry. We prove that in the compact case the equation has always a short-time solution and when the hypercomplex manifold is locally flat and admits a…
We construct balanced metrics on the family of non-K\"ahler Calabi-Yau threefolds that are obtained by smoothing after contracting $(-1,-1)$-rational curves on K\"ahler Calabi-Yau threefold. As an application, we construct balanced metrics…
We survey some recent developments in the study of collapsing Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, especially the locally bounded Ricci covering geometry and the Ricci flow smoothing techniques. We then prove that if a…
