In this paper, we solve the prescribed Hermitian-Yang-Mills tensor problem. Let $ E $ be a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold $(M,\omega_g) $. Suppose that there exists a smooth Hermitian metric $ h_0 $ on $E$ such…

We investigate solutions of the classical Einstein or supergravity equations that solve any set of quantum corrected Einstein equations in which the Einstein tensor plus a multiple of the metric is equated to a symmetric conserved tensor…

This manuscript investigates the curvature and topological properties of certain $\infty$-Einstein Finsler metrics on Finsler metric measure spaces. By imposing symmetry conditions, we construct a series of special metrics and analyze their…

Quasi-Einstein manifolds are well-studied generalizations of Einstein manifolds. This includes gradient Ricci solitons and has a natural correspondence with the warped product Einstein manifolds. A quasi-Einstein metric is said to be rigid…

We find a new obstruction to the existence of solutions of the Hull-Strominger system, which goes beyond the balanced property of the Calabi-Yau manifold $(X,\Omega)$ and the Mumford-Takemoto slope stability of the bundle over it. The basic…

In this paper, we give a new generalization of positive sectional curvature called positive weighted sectional curvature. It depends on a choice of Riemannian metric and a smooth vector field. We give several simple examples of Riemannian…

All known examples of homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature can be realized as left-invariant Riemannian metrics on solvable Lie groups. After defining a notion of maximal symmetry among left-invariant Riemannian metrics…

In a Riemannian manifold with a smooth positive function that weights the associated Hausdorff measures we study stable sets, i.e., second order minima of the weighted perimeter under variations preserving the weighted volume. By assuming…

We classify Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{R}^4$ invariant under a four-dimensional group of isometries including a principal action of the Heisenberg group. The metrics are either Ricci-flat or of negative Ricci curvature. We show that all…

The Einstein-Maxwell equations on a smooth compact 4-manifold are reformulated as a purely Riemannian variational problem analogous to Calabi's variational problem for extremal Kahler metrics. Next, Seiberg-Witten theory is used to show…

We consider a Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold with a smooth, non-holomorphic Higgs field. We assume that the holomorphic vector bundle decomposes into a direct sum of holomorphic line bundles. Under an assumption on the zero…

An orbifold version of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality is used to prove that certain weighted projective spaces do not admit orbifold Einstein metrics. Also, several estimates for the orbifold Yamabe invariants of weighted projective spaces…

This paper is devoted to the first systematic investigation of manifolds that are Einstein for a connection with skew symmetric torsion. We derive the Einstein equation from a variational principle and prove that, for parallel torsion, any…
