We embed polarised orbifolds with cyclic stabiliser groups into weighted projective space via a weighted form of Kodaira embedding. Dividing by the (non-reductive) automorphisms of weighted projective space then formally gives a moduli…

We focus on the classical open problem of the classification of K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds that can be K\"ahler immersed into a complex projective space endowed with the Fubini-Study metric. In particular, we will deal with such problem in…

This paper extends our earlier results to higher dimensions using a different approach, based on the rigidity of complex structures on certain domains.

We introduce a notion of a K\"ahler metric with constant weighted scalar curvature on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, depending on a fixed real torus $\mathbb{T}$ in the reduced group of automorphisms of $X$, and two smooth (weight)…

This article presents a new and more elementary proof of the main Seiberg-Witten-based obstruction to the existence of Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds. It also introduces a new smooth manifold invariant which conveniently…

In this paper we study compact Sasaki manifolds in view of transverse K\"ahler geometry and extend some results in K\"ahler geometry to Sasaki manifolds. In particular we define integral invariants which obstruct the existence of transverse…

In this paper, we prove that K\"ahler-Ricci flow converges to a K\"ahler-Einstein metric (or a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton) in the sense of Cheeger-Gromov as long as an initial K\"ahler metric is very closed to $g_{KE}$ (or $g_{KS}$) if a…

The notion of weighted extremal K\"ahler metrics extends the classical notion of Calabi's extremal K\"ahler metrics, but includes many well-studied objects in K\"ahler geometry such as K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and Sasaki-Einstein metrics. In…

We call a metric quasi-Einstein if the $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. This is a generalization of Einstein metrics, which contains gradient Ricci solitons and is also closely related to the…

In this paper, we first show an interpretation of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a manifold $X$ as an exact elliptic equation of Einstein type on a manifold $M$ of which $X$ is one of the (K\"ahler) symplectic reductions via a (non-trivial)…

We generalize K\"ahler-Ricci solitons to the almost-K\"ahler setting as the zeros of Inoue's moment map \cite{MR4017922}, and show that their existence is an obstruction to the existence of first-Chern-Einstein almost-K\"ahler metrics on…

In this paper, we prove that on a Fano manifold $M$ which admits a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton $(\om,X)$, if the initial K\"ahler metric $\om_{\vphi_0}$ is close to $\om$ in some weak sense, then the weak K\"ahler-Ricci flow exists globally and…

We find a new obstruction for a real Einstein 4-orbifold with an A1-singularity to be a limit of smooth Einstein 4-manifolds. The obstruction is a curvature condition at the singular point. For asymptotically hyperbolic metrics, with…
