We consider balanced metrics on complex manifolds with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle, most commonly known as balanced $\rm{SU}(n)$-structures. Such structures are of interest for both Hermitian geometry and string theory, since…

We investigate aspects of the metric bubble tree for non-collapsing degenerations of (log) K\"ahler-Einstein metrics in complex dimensions one and two, and further describe a conjectural higher dimensional picture.

The Kaehler manifolds of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures are introduced as Kaehler manifolds with complex distribution of codimension two, whose holomorphic sectional curvature only depends on the corresponding point and the…

Let $\Delta$ be a 2-sphere endowed with an affine structure away from a finite set of points $P \subset \Delta$, and assume that the monodromy of the associated connection $\nabla$ on $\Delta \setminus P$ around any point from $P$ is…

Let O be a nilpotent orbit in g^C where G is a compact, simple group and g=Lie(G). It is known that O carries a unique G-invariant hyperK\"ahler metric admitting a hyperK\"ahler potential compatible with the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau…

Conditions for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and central K\"ahler metrics [MS] along with examples, both old and new, are given on classes of Lorentzian $4$-manifolds with two distinguished vector fields. The results utilize…

In the present work some examples of toric hyperkahler metrics in eight dimensions are constructed. First it is described how the Calderbank-Pedersen metrics arise as a consequence of the Joyce description of selfdual structures in four…

A description of the fundamental degrees of freedom underlying generalized K\"ahler geometry, which separates its holomorphic moduli from its compatible Riemannian metric in a similar way to the K\"ahler case, has been sought since its…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and let $g$ be a polyhedral metric on it inducing its topology. We say that $g$ is a polyhedral K\"ahler (PK) metric on $X$ if it is K\"ahler outside its singular set. The local geometry of PK metrics is…

Let $G$ be an even dimensional, connected, abelian Lie group and $(\mathcal{A}^\infty,G,\alpha,\tau)$ be a $C^*$-dynamical system equipped with a faithful $G$-invariant trace $\tau$. We show that whenever it determines a…

We revisit the duality between heterotic string theory compactified on K3 x T^2 and type IIA compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold X in the hypermultiplet sector. We derive an explicit map between the field variables of the respective…

We introduce a notion of a K\"ahler metric with constant weighted scalar curvature on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, depending on a fixed real torus $\mathbb{T}$ in the reduced group of automorphisms of $X$, and two smooth (weight)…

We obtain explicitly all solutions of the SU(infinity) Toda field equation with the property that the associated Einstein-Weyl space admits a 2-sphere of divergence-free shear-free geodesic congruences. The solutions depend on an arbitrary…

A quantum system can be entirely described by the K\"ahler structure of the projective space P(H) associated to the Hilbert space H of possible states; this is the so-called geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we…

We introduce the notion of metric semilattice on the metric space and prove the criterion of $\R$-tree as connected geodesic metric space $X$ admitting the partial order, such that $X$ is semilinear metric semilattice. Also we state the…

A class of elliptic-hyperbolic equations is placed in the context of a geometric variational theory, in which the change of type is viewed as a change in the character of an underlying metric. A fundamental example of a metric which changes…

The equivalence of a conformal metric on 4-dimensional space-time and a local field of 3-dimensional subspaces of the space of 2-forms over space-time is discussed and the basic notion of transection is introduced. Corresponding relation is…

The solution of the Calabi Conjecture by Yau implies that every K\"ahler Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ admits a metric with holonomy contained in $\textrm{SU}(n)$, and that these metrics are parametrized by the positive cone in…

Given a K\"ahler fiber space $p:X\to Y$ whose generic fiber is of general type, we prove that the fiberwise singular K\"ahler-Einstein metric induces a semipositively curved metric on the relative canonical bundle $K_{X/Y}$ of $p$. We also…

We present a first-principles derivation of the K\"ahler metric for axion-like moduli of conformally Calabi-Yau compactifications of IIB string theory with imaginary self-dual 3-form flux at the classical level. We find that the warp factor…
