We study two different natural notions of singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on normal complex varieties. In the setting of singular Ricci flat K\"ahler cone metrics that arise as non-collapsed limits of sequences of K\"ahler-Einstein…
We study global log canonical thresholds of cubic surfaces with canonical singularities, and we prove the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on two singular cubic surfaces.
It is well known that any 4-dimensional hyperkahler metric with two commuting Killing fields may be obtained explicitly, via the Gibbons-Hawking Ansatz, from a harmonic function invariant under a Killing field on R^3. In this paper, we find…
We present and study a family of metrics on the space of compact subsets of $R^N$ (that we call ``shapes''). These metrics are ``geometric'', that is, they are independent of rotation and translation; and these metrics enjoy many…
We construct the homogeneous Einstein equation for generalized flag manifolds $G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$ whose isotropy representation decomposes into five inequivalent irreducible $\Ad(K)$-submodules. To this end we apply a…
A theorem of E.Lerman and S.Tolman, generalizing a result of T.Delzant, states that compact symplectic toric orbifolds are classified by their moment polytopes, together with a positive integer label attached to each of their facets. In…
We develop some techniques to study the adiabatic limiting behaviour of Calabi-Yau metrics on the total space of a fibration, and obtain strong control near the singular fibres by imposing restrictions on the singularity types. We prove a…
We obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie group $\SU(N)$ which are not naturally reductive. This is achieved by using the generalized flag manifold $G/K=\SU(k_1+\cdots +k_p)/\s(\U(k_1)\times\cdots\times\U(k_p))$ and by…
In this note we prove that a special family of Killing potentials on certain Hirzebruch complex surfaces, found by Futaki and Ono, gives rise to new conformally K\"ahler, Einstein-Maxwell metrics. The correspondent K\"ahler metrics are…
Various curvature conditions are studied on metrics admitting a symmetry group. We begin by examining a method of diagonalizing cohomogeneity-one Einstein manifolds and determine when this method can and cannot be used. Examples, including…
It is proved that the Gromov-Hausdorff metric on the space of compact metric spaces considered up to an isometry is strictly intrinsic, i.e., the corresponding metric space is geodesic. In other words, each two points of this space (each…
Hermitian, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form give a natural extension of Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of complex, non-K\"ahler manifolds, and arise independently in mathematical physics. We reinterpret this condition…
In the present paper and the companion paper [9] a probabilistic (statistical-mechanical) approach to the construction of canonical metrics on a complex algebraic varieties X is introduced, by sampling "temperature deformed" determinantal…
We prove that for every natural number k there are simply connected topological four-manifolds which have at leat k distinct smooth structures supporting Einstein metrics, and also have infinitely many distinct smooth structures not…
A labeled metric space is intuitively speaking a metric space together with a special set of points to be understood as the geometric boundary of the space. We study basic properties of a recently introduced labeled Gromov-Hausdorff…
We show that there exists a natural counterpart of the Gromov-Hausdorff metric in the class of ultrametric spaces. It is proved, in particular, that the space of all ultrametric spaces whose metric take values in a fixed countable set is…
The Einstein-Maxwell equations on a smooth compact 4-manifold are reformulated as a purely Riemannian variational problem analogous to Calabi's variational problem for extremal Kahler metrics. Next, Seiberg-Witten theory is used to show…
We prove that if a family of metrics, $g_i$, on a compact Riemannian manifold, $M^n$, have a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound and converge to $g_\infty$ smoothly away from a singular set, $S$, with Hausdorff measure, $H^{n-1}(S) = 0$,…
Starting with a compact hyperbolic cone-manifold of dimension greater than or equal to 3, we study the deformations of the metric with the aim of getting Einstein cone-manifolds. If the singular locus is a closed codimension 2 submanifold…
We characterise rectifiable subsets of a complete metric space $X$ in terms of local approximation, with respect to the Gromov--Hausdorff distance, by an $n$-dimensional Banach space. In fact, if $E\subset X$ with $\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty$…
