In this paper we investigate the existence of invariant SKT, balanced and generalized K\"ahler structures on compact quotients $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G$ is an almost nilpotent Lie group whose nilradical has one-dimensional commutator…
We construct smooth bundles with base and fiber products of two spheres whose total spaces have non-vanishing $\hat{A}$-genus. We then use these bundles to locate non-trivial rational homotopy groups of spaces of Riemannian metrics with…
It is shown that the first order (Palatini) variational principle for a generic nonlinear metric-affine Lagrangian depending on the (symmetrized) Ricci square invariant leads to an almost-product Einstein structure or to an almost-complex…
In this paper, we establish a "pseudo-effective" version of the holonomy principle for compact K\"{a}hler manifolds with nonnegative holomorphic sectional curvature. As applications, we prove that if a compact complex manifold $M$ admits a…
A canonical hyperkaehler metric on the total space $T^*M$ of a cotangent bundle to a complex manifold $M$ has been constructed recently by the author (see alg-geom/9710026). This paper presents the results of alg-geom/9710026 in a…
We give a cohomological classification of vector bundles of rank $2$ on a smooth affine threefold over an algebraically closed field having characteristic unequal to $2$. As a consequence we deduce that cancellation holds for rank $2$…
We study an analogue of the Calabi flow in the non-K\"ahler setting for compact Hermitian manifolds with vanishing first Bott-Chern class. We prove a priori estimates for the evolving metric along the flow given a uniform bound on the Chern…
Let P be a parabolic subgroup of a simple affine algebraic group G defined over C and X a compact connected K\"ahler manifold. L. \'Alvarez-C\'onsul and O. Garc\'ia-Prada associated to these a quiver Q and representations of Q into…
This paper studies the approximation of singular Hermitian metrics on vector bundles using smooth Hermitian metrics with Nakano semi-positive curvature on Zariski open sets. We show that singular Hermitian metrics capable of this…
We give a generalisation of the theory of optimal destabilizing 1-parameter subgroups to non-algebraic complex geometry. Consider a holomorphic action $G\times F\to F$ of a complex reductive Lie group $G$ on a finite dimensional (possibly…
We give an algebraic proof valid in arbitrary characteristic for the known equivalence between (strongly) slope semistable vector bundles with vanishing discriminant and vanishing determinant and numerically flat bundles. We also address a…
The paper investigates the non-vanishing of $H^1(E(n))$, where $E$ is a (normalized) rank two vector bundle over any smooth irreducible threefold $X$ of degree $d$ such that $Pic(X) \cong \ZZ$. If $\epsilon$ is the integer defined by the…
We introduce several families of filtrations on the space of vector bundles over a smooth projective variety. These filtrations are defined using the large k asymptotics of the kernel of the Dolbeault Dirac operator on a bundle twisted by…
The various scalar curvatures on an almost Hermitian manifold are studied, in particular with respect to conformal variations. We show several integrability theorems, which state that two of these can only agree in the K\"ahler case. Our…
Let L be an ample holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex Hermitian manifold X. Any fixed smooth Hermitian metric on L induces a Hilbert space structure on the space of global holomorphic sections with values in the k:th tensor power…
The study of quasi-K\"ahler Chern-flat almost Hermitian manifolds is strictly related to the study of anti-bi-invariant almost complex Lie algebras. In the present paper we show that quasi-K\"ahler Chern-flat almost Hermitian structures on…
We derive a canonical symmetry reduction associated to a compact non-K\"ahler Bismut-Hermitian-Einstein manifold. In real dimension $6$, the transverse geometry is conformally K\"ahler, and we give a complete description in terms of a…
We consider N-tensor powers of a positive Hermitian line bundle L over a non-compact complex manifold X. In the compact case, B. Shiffman and S. Zelditch proved that the zeros of random sections become asymptotically uniformly distributed…
Motivated by the vacuum selection problem of string/M theory, we study a new geometric invariant of a positive Hermitian line bundle $(L, h)\to M$ over a compact K\"ahler manifold: the expected distribution of critical points of a Gaussian…
We introduce a "qualitative property" for Bott-Chern cohomology of complex non-K\"ahler manifolds, which is motivated in view of the study of the algebraic structure of Bott-Chern cohomology. We prove that such a property characterizes the…
