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…

We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semiample canonical bundle and intermediate Kodaira dimension, and show that the flow collapses to a canonical metric on the base of the Iitaka fibration in the locally…

One of the main results of the paper arXiv:1108.0967 by Gross-Tosatti-Zhang establishes estimates on the collapsing of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on holomorphic torus fibrations. We remove a projectivity assumption from these estimates and…

We construct large families of new collapsing hyperk\"ahler metrics on the K3 surface. The limit space is the quotient of a flat 3-torus by an involution. Away from finitely many exceptional points the collapse occurs with bounded…

We study issues pertaining to the Ricci-flatness of metrics on orbifolds resolved by D-branes. We find a K\"ahler metric on the three-dimensional orbifold $\C^3/\Z_3$, resolved by D-branes, following an approach due to Guillemin. This…

This paper has two purposes. First it partially extends the result in the author's previous work concerning the asymptotic expansion of the Tian-Yau metrics, by considering a slightly larger class of quasi-projective manifolds. This text is…

We construct a family of Calabi-Yau metrics on $\C^3$ with properties analogous to the Taub-NUT metric on $\C^2$, and construct a family of Calabi-Yau 3-fold metric models on the positive and negative vertices of SYZ fibrations with…

We prove the existence of a Ricci flat metric on the Kummer K3 surface. The proof follows the general strategy of Donaldson's gluing construction. However, we tackle the analysis without appealing to weighted norms or conformal…

We study a class of asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics arising on quasiprojective manifolds. Using the Calabi--Yau geometry and analysis and the Kodaira--Kuranishi--Spencer theory and building up on results of N.Koiso…

We introduce a combinatorial method to construct indefinite Ricci-flat metrics on nice nilpotent Lie groups. We prove that every nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq6$, every nice nilpotent Lie group of dimension $\leq7$ and every…

Tian and Yau constructed a complete Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric on the complement of an ample and smooth anticanonical divisor. We inquire into the behaviour of this metric towards the boundary divisor and prove a slow decay rate of the…

In this paper, we study the behavior of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds under algebraic geometric surgeries: extremal transitions or flops. We prove a version of Candelas and de la Ossa's conjecture: Ricci-flat…

We study several questions involving relative Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics for families of log Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our main result states that if $p:(X,B)\to Y$ is a K\"ahler fiber space such that $\displaystyle (X_y, B|_{X_y})$ is…
