Motivated by a recent work of Chen-Zheng [8] on Strominger space forms, we prove that a compact Hermitian surface with pointwise constant holomorphic sectional curvature with respect to a Gauduchon connection $\nabla^t $ is either K\"ahler,…

In dimension greater than four, we prove that if a Hermitian non-Kaehler manifold is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvatures, then it is of constant sectional curvatures.

This paper is concerned with the construction of special metrics on non-compact 4-manifolds which arise as resolutions of complex orbifold singularities. Our study is close in spirit to the construction of the hyperkaehler gravitational…

In the paper we consider pseudo bihermitian structures - a pair of complex structures compatible with a pseudo Riemannian metric. As in the positive definite case we establish its relations with generalized (pseudo) Kaehler geometry and…

We construct 4-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups carrying left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2. We show that these foliations are holomorphic with respect to an (integrable) Hermitian structure which is…

We show that the Riemannian Schwarzschild and the ``Taub-bolt'' instanton solutions are the only spaces (M,g) such that 1) M is a 4-dimensional, simply connected manifold with a Riemannian, Ricci-flat C^2-metric g which admits (at least) a…

This note proves orbifold versions of Kobayashi's theorem. The main result asserts that a compact K\"ahler orbifold with non-negative Ricci curvature, along with certain conditions regarding singularities, is simply connected.

On a complex manifold an Hermitian metric which is simultaneously SKT and balanced has to be necessarily K\"ahler. It has been conjectured that if a compact complex manifold (M,J) has an SKT metric and a balanced metric both compatible with…

For a compact relative K\"ahler fibration over a compact K\"ahler manifold with negative holomorphic sectional curvature, if the relative K\"ahler form on each fiber also exhibits negative holomorphic sectional curvature, we can construct…

Given a Hermitian manifold $(M^n,g)$, the Gauduchon connections are the one parameter family of Hermitian connections joining the Chern connection and the Bismut connection. We will call $\nabla^s = (1-\frac{s}{2})\nabla^c +…

Let {(M,g_i)} be a sequence of smooth compact oriented Einstein 4-manifolds of fixed Einstein constant $\lambda > 0$ that Gromov-Hausdorff converges to a 4-dimensional Einstein orbifold X. Suppose, moreover, that the limit metric is…

We study complete noncompact long time solutions $(M, g(t))$ to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow with uniformly bounded nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. We will show that when the Ricci curvature is positive and uniformly pinched, i.e.…

We prove that the normal bundle to the Levi foliation of a smooth Levi flat hypersurface does not admit a Hermitian metric with positive curvature along the leaves in compact K\"ahler manifolds of dimension at least 3. This represents an…

We revisit AdS_4 heterotic compactifications on nearly K\"ahler manifolds in the presence of H-flux and certain fermion condensates. Unlike previous studies, we do not assume the vanishing of the supersymmetry variations. Instead we…

Among other results, a compact almost K\"ahler manifold is proved to be K\"ahler if the Ricci tensor is semi-negative and its length coincides with that of the star Ricci tensor or if the Ricci tensor is semi-positive and its first order…

An old open question in non-K\"ahler geometry predicts that any compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be K\"ahler or Chern flat. The conjecture is known to be true in dimension $2$ due to the work by…

We give an explicit description of all complete $G$-invariant Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on the tangent bundle $T(G/K)\cong G^\bbC/K^\bbC$ of rank-one Riemannian symmetric spaces $G/K$ of compact type, in terms of associated…

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 1978, Gibbons-Pope and Page proposed a physical picture for the Ricci flat K\"ahler metrics on the K3 surface based on a gluing construction. In this construction, one starts from a flat torus with $16$ orbifold points, and resolves the…

We provide an explicit resolution of the existence problem for extremal Kaehler metrics on toric 4-orbifolds M with second Betti number b2(M)=2. More precisely we show that M admits such a metric if and only if its rational Delzant polytope…
