In this paper, we prove that complete gradient steady K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with harmonic Bochner tensor are necessarily K\"ahler-Ricci flat, i.e., Calabi-Yau, and that complete gradient shrinking (or expanding) K\"ahler-Ricci solitons…
In the paper we study the existence of balanced metrics of Hodge-Riemann type on non-K\"ahler complex manifolds. We first find some general obstructions, for instance that a Hodge-Riemann balanced manifold of complex dimension $n$ has to be…
In this paper we construct 206 examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds with different Euler numbers. All constructed examples are smooth models of double coverings of $P^3$ branched along an octic surface. We allow 11 types of (not necessary…
Right after Yau's resolution of the Calabi conjecture in the late 1970s, physicists Page and Gibbons-Pope conjectured that one may approximate Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on the $K3$ surface with metrics having "almost special holonomy"…
Let $X_0$ be an affine variety with only normal isolated singularity $p$ and $\pi: X\to X_0$ a smooth resolution of the singularity with trivial canonical line bundle $K_X$. If the complement of the affine variety $X_0\backslash\{p\}$ is…
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…
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 carry out a gluing construction for collapsing warped-QAC (quasi-asymptotically-conical) Calabi-Yau manifolds in $\CC^{n+2}, n\geq 2$. This gluing theorem verifies a conjecture by Yang Li in \cite{li2019gluing} on the behavior of the…
This paper gives a detailed construction of Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology for a closed oriented 3-manifold with a non-torsion $\spinc$ structure. Gluing formulae for certain 4-dimensional manifolds splitting along an embedded 3-manifold are…
This is a survey on the Strominger system and a geometric flow known as the anomaly flow. We will discuss various aspects of non-K\"ahler geometry on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Along the way, we discuss balanced metrics and balanced classes,…
We construct new examples of constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler metrics on suitable resolutions of certain constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler orbifolds with type I singularities, in the sense of Apostolov--Rollin, along a suborbifold of…
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…
For a given complex n-fold M we present an explicit construction of all complex (n+1)-folds which are principal holomorphic T2-fibrations over M. For physical applications we consider the case of M being a Calabi-Yau 2-fold. We show that…
We study Hermitian geometrically formal metrics on compact complex manifolds, focusing on Dolbeault, Bott-Chern, and Aeppli cohomologies. We establish topological and cohomological obstructions to their existence and we provide a detailed…
We consider the heterotic string on Calabi-Yau manifolds admitting a Strominger-Yau-Zaslow fibration. Upon reducing the system in the $T^3$-directions, the Hermitian Yang-Mills conditions can then be reinterpreted as a complex flat…
`Gluing' is a technique of constructing solutions to non-linear (elliptic) partial differential equations such as Yang--Mills equations, minimal surface equations and Einstein equations. Calibrated submanifolds are a certain class of…
In 1978, Yau confirmed a conjecture due to Calabi stating the existence of K\"ahler metrics with prescribed Ricci forms on compact K\"ahler manifolds. A version of this statement for effective orbifolds can be found in the literature. In…
We construct solutions to the Strominger system on a class of noncompact Calabi-Yau 3-folds. These spaces include $\mathbb{C}^3$ and resolved conifold $\mathcal{O}(-1,-1)$ as special examples.
In this paper, we derive a partial result related to a question of Yau: "Does a simply-connected complete K\"ahler manifold M with negative sectional curvature admit a bounded non-constant holomorphic function?" Main Theorem. Let $M^{2n}$…
Let $B$ be a K\"ahler-Einstein Fano manifold, and $L \to B$ be a suitable root of the canonical bundle. We give a construction of complete Calabi-Yau metrics and gradient shrinking, steady, and expanding K\"ahler-Ricci solitons on the total…
