In this paper, we prove that a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature admits a locally trivial fibration $\phi \colon X \to Y$, where the fiber $F$ is a rationally connected projective manifold and…

Given an open subset U of a projective curve Y and a smooth family f:V-->U of curves, with semi-stable reduction over Y, we show that for a sub variation of Hodge structures of rank >2 the Arakelov inequality must be strict. For families of…

Let X be a smooth cubic threefold, M the moduli space of stable rank 2 vector bundles on X with trivial determinant and c_2=2 (the smallest value for which this space is non-empty). Recent results of Druel, Iliev, Markushevich and…

In hep-th/9910245, Witten and Yau consider the AdS/CFT correspondence in the context of a Riemannian Einstein manifold $M^{n+1}$ of negative Ricci curvature which admits a conformal compactification with conformal boundary $N^n$. They prove…

We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an…

We study the cohomological classification of vector bundles on smooth real affine surfaces and threefolds. We show that, as was observed in joint work in A. Asok and J. Fasel and in a coming joint paper with S. Banerjee and J. Fasel, under…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We show that the presence of a nontrivial conformal gradient vector field on $M$, with an appropriate control on the Ricci curvature makes $M$…

For a differentiable manifold $M$, a pair $(M, \nabla)$ is called an affine manifold if $\nabla$ is a flat and torsion-free connection on the tangent bundle $TM\rightarrow M$. A Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$ is said to be a Hessian metric on…

We study the homological mirror symmetry statement where A-side is the conic bundle Hori--Vafa mirror $\mathcal{Y} = \{uv = f(z)\} \subset \mathbb{C}^2 \times (\mathbb{C}^\ast)^n$ for a Laurent polynomial $f$ in $(\mathbb{C}^\ast)^n$, and…

The paper presents a classification theorem for the class of flat connections with triangular (0,1)-components on a topologically trivial complex vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold. As a consequence we obtain several results on…

Let $S$ be a ruled surface inside a smooth threefold $W$ and let $E$ be a vector bundle on a formal neighborhood of $S.$ We find minimal conditions under which the local moduli space of $E$ is finite dimensional and smooth. Moreover, we…

The Witten-Yau theorem in the AdS/CFT correspondence conjectures that the conformal boundary to AdS space must possess a metric of non-negative scalar curvature for the conformal field theory defined thereon to be free of pathologies. By…

Given a vector bundle $\mathcal E$ on a connected compact complex manifold $X$, [FLS] use a notion of completed Hochschild homology $\hat{\text{HH}}$ of $\text{Diff}(\mathcal E)$ such that $\hat{\text{HH}}_0(\text{Diff}(\mathcal E))$ is…

We give characterizations of affine transformations and affine vector fields in terms of the spray. By utilizing the Jacobi type equation that characterizes affine vector fields, we prove some rigidity theorems of affine vector fields on…

A long-standing conjecture of Farrell and Zdravkovska and independently S.~T.~Yau states that every almost flat manifold is the boundary of a compact manifold. This paper gives a simple proof of this conjecture when the holonomy group is…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be irreducible normal projective varieties, of same dimension, defined over an algebraically closed field, and let $f : Y \rightarrow X$ be a finite generically smooth morphism such that the corresponding homomorphism…

Associated to each finite dimensional linear representation of a group G, there is a vector bundle over the classifying space BG. This construction was studied extensively for compact groups by Atiyah and Segal. We introduce a homotopy…

Let X be a compact complex manifold whose anti-canonical line bundle is big. We show that X admits no non-trivial holomorphic vector fields if it is Gibbs stable (at any level). The proof is based on a vanishing result for measure…

Let $f$ be a non-invertible irreducible Anosov map on $d$-torus. We show that if the stable bundle of $f$ is one-dimensional, then $f$ has the integrable unstable bundle, if and only if, every periodic point of $f$ admits the same Lyapunov…

We investigate the structure of smooth holomorphic foliations with numerically flat tangent bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Extending earlier results on non-uniruled projective manifolds by the second and fourth authors, we show that…
