Let M be a compact complex surface which admits a Kaehler metric whose scalar curvature has integral zero; and suppose the fundamental group of M does not contain an Abelian subgroup of finite index. Then if M is blown up at sufficiently…

We show the existence of strictly almost-Kahler anti-self-dual metrics on certain 4-manifolds by deforming scalar-flat Kahler metrics. On the other hand, we prove the non-existence of such metrics on certain other 4-manifolds by means of…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, $\pi:\widetilde{M}\rightarrow M$ be the universal covering and $\omega$ be a smooth $2$-form on $M$ with $\pi^*\omega$ cohomologous to zero. Suppose the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ satisfies…

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities is proved. We present two applications of this theorem. The first is to compute the dimension of the deformation…

In this article we extend the Gallot-Tanno theorem to closed pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is done by showing that if the cone over such a manifold admits a parallel symmetric 2-tensor then it is incomplete and has non zero constant…

We prove that a complete noncompact K\"ahler surface with positive and bounded sectional curvature is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^2$. This result confirms a special case of Yau's conjecture that a complete noncompact K\"ahler $n$-manifold…

We show that the Betti numbers of finite-volume negatively curved orbifolds grow at most linearly with the volume, with coefficients in an arbitrary field. In particular, this gives a linear bound for the Betti numbers of finite-volume…
