This article studies the harmonicity of vector fields on Riemannian manifolds, viewed as maps into the tangent bundle equipped with a family of Riemannian metrics. Geometric and topological rigidity conditions are obtained, especially for…
We study the existence of three classes of Hermitian metrics on certain types of compact complex manifolds. More precisely, we consider balanced, SKT and astheno-K\"ahler metrics. We prove that the twistor spaces of compact hyperk\"ahler…
In this paper, we define a new metric on Cartan manifolds and obtain a K\"ahler structure on their cotangent bundles. We prove that on a Cartan manifold M of negative constant flag curvature, (T* M_0, G, J) has a K\"aahlerian structure. For…
By studying the Higgs bundle equations with the gauge group replaced by the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere we encounter the notion of a folded hyperkaehler 4-manifold and conjecture the existence of a family of such…
We discuss the K\"ahler quantization of moduli spaces of vortices in line bundles over compact surfaces $\Sigma$. This furnishes a semiclassical framework for the study of quantum vortex dynamics in the Schr\"odinger-Chern-Simons model. We…
Donaldon constructed a hyperk\"ahler moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ associated to a closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ with $\textrm{genus}(\Sigma) \geq 2$. This embeds naturally into the cotangent bundle $T^*\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)$ of Teichm\"uller…
Noncommutative K\"ahler structures were recently introduced as an algebraic framework for studying noncommutative complex geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a \emph{compact quantum homogeneous…
In this note, we survey our recent work concerning cohomologies of harmonic bundles on quasi-compact Kaehler manifolds.
In the high-energy quantum-physics literature one finds statements such as "matrix algebras converge to the sphere". Earlier I provided a general precise setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as…
Let $({X}, \omega)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional K\"ahler orbifold, the stabilizer groups of which are abelian and have rank at most two. Let ${E}$ be an orbi-ample vector bundle of rank $2$ over ${X}$ and let $H$ be a Hermitian metric on…
We introduce a geometric invariant that we call the index of symmetry, which measures how far is a Riemannian manifold from being a symmetric space. We compute, in a geometric way, the index of symmetry of compact naturally reductive…
Associated to any affine space A endowed with a metric structure of arbitrary signature we consider the space of affine functionals operating on the space of quadratic functions of A. On this functional space we characterize a symmetric…
In this article we investigate some properties of equivariant embeddings of a symmetric K\"ahlerian manifold. Motivated by a theorem of Cartan and Wallach on equivariant embeddings of symmetric spaces we characterize these embeddings in the…
Totally complex submanifolds of a quaternionic K\"{a}hler manifold are analogous to complex submanifolds of a K\"{a}hler manifold. In this paper, we construct an example of a non-compact totally complex submanifold of maximal dimension of a…
We obtain a locally symmetric Kaehler Einstein structure on a tube in the nonzero cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold of positive constant sectional curvature. The obtained Kaehler Einstein structure cannot have constant holomorphic…
The space of positively curved hermitian metrics on a positive holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold is an infinite-dimensional symmetric space. It is shown by Phong and Sturm that geodesics in this space can be uniformly…
The authors give a short survey of previous results on $\delta$-homogeneous Riemannian manifolds, forming a new proper subclass of geodesic orbit spaces with non-negative sectional curvature, which properly includes the class of all normal…
In the first part we use Gromov's K--area to define the K--area homology which stabilizes into singular homology on the category of pairs of compact smooth manifolds. The second part treats the questions of certain curvature gaps. For…
In this manuscript we study natural symmetries of Kaehler manifolds: constant holomorphic sectional curvature Kaheler manifolds, semisymmetric Kaehler manifolds and holomorphically pseudosymmetric Kaehler manifolds. We get characterization…
LVMB manifolds are a class of non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds with a remarkably rich geometry: in many cases they admit a holomorphic bundle structure over a compact toric manifold. In fact, such a bundle is determined by an…
