This paper is a sequel to \cite{Berndtsson}. In that paper we studied the vector bundle associated to the direct image of the relative canonical bundle of a smooth K\"ahler morphism, twisted with a semipositive line bundle. We proved that…

Let $p:\sXS$ be a proper K\"ahler fibration and $\sE\sX$ a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle. As motivated by the work of Berndtsson(\cite{Berndtsson09a}), by using basic Hodge theory, we derive several general curvature formulas for the…

Consider a smooth proper holomorphic fibration of complex manifolds. It is known that the semipositivity of the curvature of the direct image of the relative canonical bundle can be read in terms of the cup product with the Kodaira-Spencer…

We prove that the invariant part, with respect to a compact group action satisfying certain condition, of the direct image of a Nakano positive Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle over a bounded pseudoconvex domain is Nakano positive. We…

We give a characterization of Nakano positivity of Riemannian flat vector bundles over bounded domains $D\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of solvability of the $d$ equation with certain good $L^2$ estimate condition. As an application, we give…

In this note, we generalized Berndtsson's result about the Nakano positivity of direct image sheaves to some special singular cases.

For a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a Hermitian manifold $M$ there are two important notions of curvature positivity, the Griffiths positivity and Nakano positivity. We study the consequence of these positivities and the relevant…

We develop some results on the positivity of direct image bundles in the particular case of a trivial fibration over a one-dimensional base. We also apply the results to study variations of Kahler metrics.

Our main goal in this article is to establish a quantitative version of the positivity properties of twisted relative pluricanonical bundles and their direct images. The notion of "singular Hermitian metric" on vector bundles (together with…

Let $E\to X$ be a vector bundle of rank $r$ over a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$. It is known that if the line bundle $O_{P(E^*)}(1)$ over the projectivized bundle $P(E^*)$ is positive, then $E\otimes \det E$ is Nakano…

Generalizing the recent result of Berndtsson, we prove the Nakano semipositivity of the direct image of relative pluricanonical systems and the direct image of relative adjoint (singular) hermitian line bundle with semipositive curvature.…

We construct a convex and strongly pseudoconvex Kobayashi positive Finsler metric on a vector bundle $E$ under the assumption that the symmetric power of the dual $S^kE^*$ has a Griffiths negative $L^2$-metric for some $k$. The proof relies…

We prove semipositivity of the curvature of the Narashimhan-Simha metric on an arbitrary flat projective family of varieties with only canonical singularities. This also implies that the direct image of pluricanonical systems have a natural…

In a fibre bundle, natural derivatives of a section are defined as tangent vector fields on the image of a section of the fibre bundle. A local extension to vector fields in the tangent bundle leads to a direct proof of the formula…

In a previous paper, \cite{Berndtsson}, we have studied a property of subharmonic dependence on a parameter of Bergman kernels for a family of weighted $L^2$-spaces of holomorphic functions. Here we prove a result on the curvature of a…

In this paper, we investigate the geometry of the moduli space of curves by using the curvature properties of direct image sheaves of vector bundles. We show that the moduli space $(M_g, \omega_{WP})$ of curves with genus $g>1$ has…
