The common assertion that the Ricci flows of Einstein spaces with cosmological constant can be modelled by certain classes of nonholonomic frame, metric and linear connection deformations resulting in nonhomogeneous Einstein spaces is…
We show that the explicit ALE Ricci-flat Kahler metrics constructed by Eguchi-Hanson, Gibbons-Hawking, Hitchin and Kronheimer, and their free quotients are metrics obtained by Tian-Yau techniques. The proof relies on a construction of good…
For each partition of the positive integer $n= \ell +\sum_{j=1}^\ell d_j$, where $\ell\ge 1$ and $d_j \ge 0$ are integers, we construct a continuous $(\ell-1)$-parameter family of explicit complete gradient steady K\"ahler--Ricci solitons…
This article finds constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics on certain compact complex surfaces. The surfaces considered are those admitting a holomorphic submersion to a curve, with fibres of genus at least 2. The proof is via an adiabatic…
Starting from the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SYM$_{4}$ quiver theory living on wrapped $% N_{i}D5$ branes around $S_{i}^{2}$ spheres of deformed ADE fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3) and considering deformations using \textit{% massive} vector…
We provide families of compact astheno-K\"ahler nilmanifolds and we study the behaviour of the complex blowup of such manifolds. We prove that the existence of an astheno-K\"ahler metric satisfying an extra differential condition is not…
We prove a convergence result for a family of Yang-Mills connections over an elliptic $K3$ surface $M$ as the fibers collapse. In particular, assume $M$ is projective, admits a section, and has singular fibers of Kodaira type $I_1$ and type…
We study sections of a Calabi-Yau threefold fibered over a curve by K3 surfaces. We show that there exist infinitely many isolated sections on certain K3 fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds and the subgroup of the N\'eron-Severi group generated…
Let X be a quasiprojective manifold given by the complement of a divisor $\bD$ with normal crossings in a smooth projective manifold $\bX$. Using a natural compactification of $X$ by a manifold with corners $\tX$, we describe the full…
For a K3 surface S, we study motivic invariants of stable pairs moduli spaces associated to 3-fold thickenings of S. We conjecture suitable deformation and divisibility invariances for the Betti realization. Our conjectures, together with…
Using numerical methods for finding Ricci-flat metrics, we explore the spectrum of local operators in two-dimensional conformal field theories defined by sigma models on Calabi-Yau targets at large volume. Focusing on the examples of K3 and…
We give a simple proof of the local version of a result of R. Bryant, stating that any 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We refine the theorem…
We study topological gauge theories with N=(2,0) supersymmetry based on stable bundles on general Kahler 3-folds. In order to have a theory that is well defined and well behaved, we consider a model based on an extension of the usual…
A Calabi-Yau threefold is called of type K if it admits an \'etale Galois covering by the product of a K3 surface and an elliptic curve. In our previous paper, based on Oguiso-Sakurai's fundamental work, we provide the full classification…
We show the birational boundedness of anti-canonical irreducible hypersurfaces which form 3-fold plt pairs. We also treat a collection of Du Val K3 surfaces which is birationally bounded but unbounded.
We give an algebro-geometric or non-archimedean framework to study bubbling phenomena of Kahler metrics with Euclidean volume growth, after [DS17, Sun23, dBS23]. In particular, for any degenerating family to log terminal singularity, we…
We show the properties of the blowup limits of \KRf solutions on Fano surfaces if Riemannian curvature is unbounded. As an application, on every toric Fano surface, we prove that \KRf converges to a K\"ahler Ricci soliton metric if the…
We show that a combination of collapsing and excessive growth from the fundamental group impedes the existence of Einstein metrics on several families of smooth four-manifolds. These include infrasolvmanifolds whose fundamental group is not…
Let (M,g) be a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. This article is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics on M which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature…
Motivated by some conjectures originating in the Physics literature, we use Foscolo's construction of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on K3 surfaces to locate, with high precision, several closed geodesics and compute their index (their length is…
