Any strictly pseudoconvex domain in C2 carries a complete Kahler-Einstein metric, the Cheng-Yau metric, with ``conformal infinity'' the CR structure of the boundary. It is well known that not all CR structures on the 3-sphere arise in this…

We prove that any real analytic strictly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifold is the boundary (at infinity) of a unique selfdual Einstein metric defined in a neighborhood. The proof uses a new construction of twistor space based on singular rational…

We prove rigidity and gap theorems for self-dual and even Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics in dimension four. As a corollary, we give an obstruction to the existence of self-dual Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics in terms of conformal invariants of…

On a 3-manifold bounding a compact 4-manifold, let a conformal structure be induced from a complete Einstein metric which conformally compactifies to a K\"ahler metric. Formulas are derived for the eta invariant of this conformal structure…

This paper is concerned with the construction of special metrics on non-compact 4-manifolds which arise as resolutions of complex orbifold singularities. Our study is close in spirit to the construction of the hyperkaehler gravitational…

The equivalence problem for second order ODEs given modulo point transformations is solved in full analogy with the equivalence problem of nondegenerate 3-dimensional CR structures. This approach enables an analog of the Feffereman metrics…

We study the boundary asymptotics of ACH metrics which are formally Einstein. In terms of the partially integrable almost CR structure induced on the boundary at infinity, existence and uniqueness of such formal asymptotic expansions are…

We obtain a structure theorem for the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a conformally K\"ahler, Einstein-Maxwell metric, extending the classical results of Matsushima, Licherowicz and Calabi in the K\"ahler-Einstein, cscK, and extremal…

In the search for vacuum solutions, with or without a cosmological constant, of the Einstein field equations of Petrov type N with twisting principal null directions, the CR structures to describe the parameter space for a congruence of…

We classify super-symmetric solutions of the minimal $N=2$ gauged Euclidean supergravity in four dimensions. The solutions with anti-self-dual Maxwell field give rise to anti-self-dual Einstein metrics given in terms of solutions to the…

An important example of a multi-dimensional integrable system is the anti-self-dual Einstein equations. By studying the symmetries of these equations, a recursion operator is found and the associated hierarchy constructed. Owing to the…

There are three main components to this article: (i) A formula for the eta invariant of the signature complex for any finite subgroup of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$ is given. An application of this is a non-existence result for…

We consider the graph whose vertex set is a conjugacy class ${\mathcal C}$ consisting of finite-rank self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$. The dimension of $H$ is assumed to be not less than $3$. In the case when operators…

We extend to infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces the Schur convexity property of eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix with real entries. Our framework includes both the case of linear, selfadjoint, compact operators, and that of…

The non-autonomous chiral model equation for an $m \times m$ matrix function on a two-dimensional space appears in particular in general relativity, where for $m=2$ a certain reduction of it determines stationary, axially symmetric…
