In our previous work, we introduced a special type of Hermitian metrics called {\em torsion-critical,} which are non-K\"ahler critical points of the $L^2$-norm of Chern torsion over the space of all Hermitian metrics with unit volume on a…

We show that a closed almost K\"ahler 4-manifold of globally constant holomorphic sectional curvature $k\geq 0$ with respect to the canonical Hermitian connection is automatically K\"ahler. The same result holds for $k<0$ if we require in…

In this paper, we prove that, a compact complex manifold $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric with positive (resp. negative) scalar curvature if and only if $K_X$ (resp. $K_X^{-1}$) is not pseudo-effective. On the contrary, we also show…

We study Hermitian metrics whose Bismut connection $\nabla^B$ satisfies the first Bianchi identity in relation to the SKT condition and the parallelism of the torsion of the Bimut connection. We obtain a characterization of complex surfaces…

In this note, we introduce a new type of positivity condition for the curvature of a Hermitian manifold, which generalizes the notion of nonnegative quadratic orthogonal bisectional curvature to the non-K\"ahler case. We derive a Bochner…

The conullity of a curvature tensor is the codimension of its kernel. We consider the cases of conullity two in any dimension and conullity three in dimension four. We show that these conditions are compatible with non-negative sectional…

It is proved, that if a quasi-K\"ahler manifold $M$ of dimension greater or equal to 6 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature $\nu$, then $\nu$, the scalar curvature and the $*$-scalar curvature of $M$ are constants.

This paper determined the components of the generalized curvature tensor for the class of Kenmotsu type and established the mentioned class is {\eta}-Einstein manifold when the generalized curvature tensor is flat; the converse holds true…

In his recent work \cite{Y1}, X. Yang proved a conjecture raised by Yau in 1982 (\cite{Yau82}), which states that any compact K\"{a}hler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional curvature must be projective. In this note, we prove that…

A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold $(M, I)$ of complex dimension $n$ is called Calabi-Yau with torsion (CYT) or Bismut-Ricci flat, if the restricted holonomy of the associated Bismut connection is contained in ${\rm SU}(n)$ and it is…

Let $L$ be a negative holomorphic line bundle over an $(n-1)$-dimensional complex torus $D$. Let $h$ be a Hermitian metric on $L$ such that the curvature form of the dual Hermitian metric defines a flat K\"ahler metric on $D$. Then $h$ is…

For a Kahler metric, the Riemannian scalar curvature is equal to twice the Chern scalar curvature. The question we address here is whether this equivalence can hold for a non-Kahler Hermitian metric. For such metrics, if they exist, the…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ it is interesting to ask whether it admits a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metric. In this short note we show that there always exist cscK metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds with nef…

We study two natural problems concerning the scalar and the Ricci curvatures of the Bismut connection. Firstly, we study an analog of the Yamabe problem for Hermitian manifolds related to the Bismut scalar curvature, proving that, fixed a…

We initiate the study of an analogue of the Yamabe problem for complex manifolds. More precisely, fixed a conformal Hermitian structure on a compact complex manifold, we are concerned in the existence of metrics with constant Chern scalar…

We study Hermitian metrics with a Gauduchon connection being "K\"ahler-like", namely, satisfying the same symmetries for curvature as the Levi-Civita and Chern connections. In particular, we investigate $6$-dimensional solvmanifolds with…

It is proved that if an almost Hermitian manifold of dimension greater than 4 has vanishing (classical) Bochner curvature tensor and is not Kaehlerian at a point, then it is flat in a neighbourhood of this point.

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 +…

In this paper, we give a classification of all compact Hermitian manifolds with flat Bismut connection. We show that the torsion tensor of such a manifold must be parallel, thus the universal cover of such a manifold is a Lie group equipped…

We study the interplay between the following types of special non-K\"ahler Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds: it locally conformally K\"ahler, $k$-Gauduchon, balanced and locally conformally balanced and prove that a locally…
