We develop a new approach to $L^{\infty}$-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on complex manifolds. It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions. Our method allows…

Let (M, \omega) be a compact symplectic 4-manifold with a compatible almost complex structure J. The problem of finding a J-compatible symplectic form with prescribed volume form is an almost-K\"ahler analogue of Yau's theorem and is…

In this essay we aim to explore the Geometric aspects of the Calabi Conjecture and highlight the techniques of nonlinear Elliptic PDE theory used by S.T. Yau [SY] in obtaining a solution to the problem. Yau proves the existence of a…

K\"ahler-Einstein metrics for polarized families of Calabi-Yau manifolds define a natural hermitian metric on the relative canonical bundle. The fact that the curvature form is equal to the pull-back of the Weil-Petersson form up to a…

We derive an interpolation version of constrained matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate on K\"ahler manifolds. As a result, we first get a constrained matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for heat equation on a K\"ahler manifold with fixed K\"ahler…

We show that for all very special quaternionic manifolds a different N=1 reduction exists, defining a Kaehler Geometry which is ``dual'' to the original very special Kaehler geometry with metric G_{a\bar{b}}= - \partial_a \partial_b \ln V…

Let X be a compact Kahler orbifold without \C-codimension-1 singularities. Let D be a suborbifold divisor in X such that D \supset Sing(X) and -pK_X = q[D] for some p, q \in \N with q > p. Assume that D is Fano. We prove the following two…

Diameter estimates for K\"ahler metrics are established which require only an entropy bound and no lower bound on the Ricci curvature. The proof builds on recent PDE techniques for $L^\infty$ estimates for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, with…

Consider a divisor D with simple normal crossings in a compact K\"ahler manifold X. We show in this article that a K\"ahler metric in an arbitrary class, with constant scalar curvature and cusp singularities along the divisor is unique in…

We propose the study of a Monge-Amp\`ere-type equation in bidegree $(n-1,\,n-1)$ rather than $(1,\,1)$ on a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ for which we prove uniqueness of the solution subject to positivity and normalisation…

The recent result of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow relating mirror symmetry to the quantum field theory notion of T-duality is reinterpreted as providing a way of geometrically characterizing which Calabi-Yau manifolds have mirror partners.…

We review the relation between 4n-dimensional quaternion-Kahler metrics with n+1 abelian isometries and superconformal theories of n+1 tensor supermultiplets. As an application we construct the class of eight-dimensional quaternion-Kahler…

HyperK\"ahler spaces, including manifolds, orbifolds and conical singularities play an important role in superstring/$M$-theory and gauge theories as well as in differential and algebraic geometry. In this paper we provide hundreds of new…

Numerical approximations to Ricci-flat Calabi--Yau metrics make it possible to move beyond the topological and holomorphic data that have traditionally dominated explicit string compactifications. This article explains what new physics and…
