Let $X=\overline{X}-D$ be a smooth quasi-projective curve. In arXiv:2110.12300 we constructed a Deligne-Hitchin modui space with Hecke gauge groupoid for connections of rank $2$. We extend this construction to the case of any rank $r$,…

We observed in our previous paper that all the complex structures on four-dimensional compact solvmanifolds, including tori, are left-invariant. In this paper we will give an example of a six-dimensional compact solvmanifold which admits a…

Let $\widetilde{\cal J}(S^{2n})$ be the set of orthogonal complex structures on $TS^{2n}$. We show that the twistor space $\widetilde{\cal J}(S^{2n})$ is a Kaehler manifold. Then we show that an orthogonal almost complex structure $J_f$ on…

We consider a quiver $Q$ of ADE type and use cluster combinatorics to define two complex manifolds $\mathcal S$ and $\mathcal L$. The space $\mathcal S$ can be identified with a quotient of the space of stability conditions on the CY$_3$…

We give an explicit description of rational curves in the product of three copies of complex projective lines, which are transformed into twistor lines in M. Nagata's example of non-projective complete algebraic variety, viewed as the…

We study the space of closed anti-invariant forms on an almost complex manifold, possibly non compact. We construct families of (non integrable) almost complex structures on $\R^4$, such that the space of closed $J$-anti-invariant forms is…

In this paper, the concept of balanced manifolds is generalized to reduced complex spaces: the class B and balanced spaces. Compared with the case of Kahlerian, the class B is similar to the Fujiki class C and the balanced space is similar…

We review the theory of quaternionic Kahler and hyperkahler structures. Then we consider the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold M with a metric connection D (with torsion) and with its well estabilished canonical complex structure.…

In this note we begin a systematic study of compact conformal manifolds of SCFTs in four dimensions (our notion of compactness is with respect to the topology induced by the Zamolodchikov metric). Supersymmetry guarantees that such…

The twistor space of a Riemannian 4-manifold carries two almost complex structures, $J_+$ and $J_-$, and a natural closed 2-form $\omega$. This article studies limits of manifolds for which $\omega$ tames either $J_+$ or $J_-$. This amounts…

A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with three complex structures I, J, K satisfying the quaternionic relations. Let M be a 4-dimensional compact smooth manifold equipped with a hypercomplex structure, and E be a vector bundle on…

A general theorem on the existence of natural torsion-free affine connections on a complete family of compact complex submanifolds in a complex manifold is proved. Applications to twistor theory are discussed.

We consider manifolds equipped with a foliation $\cal F$ of codimension $4q$, and an almost quaternionic structure $Q$ on the transversal bundle of ${\cal F}$. After discussing conditions of projectability and integrability of $Q$, we study…

Let Z be a compact complex (2n+1)-manifold which carries a {\em complex contact structure}, meaning a codimension-1 holomorphic sub-bundle D of TZ which is maximally non-integrable. If Z admits a K\"ahler-Einstein metric of positive scalar…

We provide a simple algebraic construction of the twistor spaces of arbitrary Joyce's self-dual metrics on the 4-manifold H^2 x T^2 that extend smoothly to nCP^2, the connected sum of complex projective planes. Indeed, we explicitly realize…

A family of irreducible holomorphic symplectic (ihs) manifolds over the complex projective line has unobstructed deformations if its period map is an embedding. This applies in particular to twistor spaces of ihs manifolds. Moreover, a…

In this paper we look at the question of integrability, or not, of the two natural almost complex structures $J^{\pm}_\nabla$ defined on the twistor space $J(M,g)$ of an even-dimensional manifold $M$ with additional structures $g$ and…

We consider some classical fibre bundles furnished with almost complex structures of twistor type, deduce their integrability in some cases and study \textit{self-holomorphic} sections of a \textit{symplectic} twistor space. With these we…

We discuss hypercomplex and hyperk\"ahler structures obtained from higher degree curves in complex spaces fibring over ${\mathbb{P}}^1$.

We systematically study calibrated geometry in hyperk\"ahler cones $C^{4n+4}$, their 3-Sasakian links $M^{4n+3}$, and the corresponding twistor spaces $Z^{4n+2}$, emphasizing the relationships between submanifold geometries in various…
