We introduce a new system of equations coupling K\"ahler-Einstein and Hermitian-Yang-Mills equations. We provide a moment map interpretation of these equations. We identify a Futaki type invariant as an obstruction to the existence of…

We investigate stability conditions related to the existence of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system with prescribed balanced class. We build on recent work by the authors, where the Hull-Strominger system is recasted using non-Hermitian…

We construct a class of stable SU(5) bundles on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold with two sections, a variant of the ordinary Weierstrass fibration, which admits a free involution. The bundles are invariant under the involution,…

We prove that a given Calabi-Yau threefold with a stable holomorphic vector bundle can be perturbed to a solution of the Strominger system provided that the second Chern class of the vector bundle is equal to the second Chern class of the…

The Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for vector bundles, established by Donaldson, Kobayashi, Luebke, Uhlenbeck and Yau, states that an indecomposable holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold is stable in the sense of…

We study the Strominger system with fixed balanced class. We show that classes which are the square of a K\"ahler metric admit solutions to the system for vector bundles satisfying the necessary conditions. Solutions are constructed by…

Let $X$ be a compact, K\"ahler, Calabi-Yau threefold and suppose $X\mapsto \underline{X}\leadsto X_t$ , for $t\in \Delta$, is a conifold transition obtained by contracting finitely many disjoint $(-1,-1)$ curves in $X$ and then smoothing…

An explicit description of the spectral data of stable U(n) vector bundles on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds is given, extending previous work of Friedman, Morgan and Witten. The characteristic classes are computed and it is…

We first study the degeneration of a sequence of Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics with respect to a sequence of balanced metrics on a Calabi-Yau threefold $\hat{X}$ that degenerates to the balanced metric constructed by Fu, Li, and Yau on the…

A holomorphic vector bundle on a Calabi-Yau threefold, X, with h^{1,1}(X)>1 can have regions of its Kahler cone where it is slope-stable, that is, where the four-dimensional theory is N=1 supersymmetric, bounded by "walls of stability". On…

We consider the problem of existence of constant scalar curvature Kaehler metrics on complete intersections of sections of vector bundles. In particular we give general formulas relating the Futaki invariant of such a manifold to the weight…

A numerical algorithm is presented for explicitly computing the gauge connection on slope-stable holomorphic vector bundles on Calabi-Yau manifolds. To illustrate this algorithm, we calculate the connections on stable monad bundles defined…

Structure group SU(4) gauge vacua of both weakly and strongly coupled heterotic superstring theory compactified on torus-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds Z with Z_2 x Z_2 fundamental group are presented. This is accomplished by constructing…

We present some results that complement our prequels [arXiv:1809.08425,arXiv:1907.05770] on holomorphic vector bundles. We apply the method of the Quot-scheme limit of Fubini-Study metrics developed therein to provide a generalisation to…

Let $X$ be a compact connected K\"ahler--Einstein manifold with $c_1(TX)\, \geq\, 0$. If there is a semistable Higgs vector bundle $(E\,,\theta)$ on $X$ with $\theta\,\not=\,0$, then we show that $c_1(TX)=0$, any $X$ satisfying this…

Motivated by gauge theory under special holonomy, we present techniques to produce holomorphic bundles over certain noncompact $3-$folds, called building blocks, satisfying a stability condition `at infinity'. Such bundles are known to…

We develop an iterative method for finding solutions to the hermitian Yang-Mills equation on stable holomorphic vector bundles, following ideas recently developed by Donaldson. As illustrations, we construct numerically the hermitian…

We construct new examples of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system on non-K\"ahler torus bundles over K3 surfaces, with the property that the connection $\nabla$ on the tangent bundle is Hermite-Yang-Mills. With this ansatz for the…

Motivated from mathematical aspects of the superstring theory, we introduce a new equation on a balanced, hermitian manifold, with zero first Chern class. Solving the equation, one will obtain, in each Bott--Chern cohomology class, a…

We define the notion of mirror of a Calabi-Yau manifold with a stable bundle in the context of type II strings in terms of supersymmetric cycles on the mirror. This allows us to relate the variation of Hodge structure for cohomologies…
