We apply the existence and special properties of Gauduchon metrics to give several applications. The first one is concerned with the implications of algebro-geometric nature under the existence of a Hermitian metric with nonnegative…

On a 4-dimensional compact symplectic manifold, we consider a smooth family of compatible almost-complex structures such that at time zero the induced metric is Hermite-Einstein almost-K\"ahler metric with zero or negative Hermitian scalar…

We introduce a property of compact complex manifolds under which the existence of balanced metric is stable by small deformations of the complex structure. This property, which is weaker than the $\partial\overline\partial$-Lemma, is…

A manifold (M,I,J,K) is called hypercomplex if I,J,K are complex structures satisfying quaternionic relations. A quaternionic Hermitian metric is called HKT (hyperkaehler with torsion) if $Id\omega_I = Jd \omega_J=Kd\omega_K$, where…

This note is concerned with some essential properties (optimal isoperimetry, first variation, and monotonicity formula) of the so-called $[0,1)\ni\gamma$-torsional rigidity $\mathcal{T}_{\gamma,\mathsf{g}}$ on a complete Riemannian…

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 give a sufficient condition on a sequence of uniformly bounded $\omega$-plurisubharmonic functions, $\omega$ being a Hermitian metric, for which the sequence of associated Monge-Amp\`ere measures converges weakly. This criterion can be…

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. We prove the existence of such…

We give an account of old and new results concerning many types of non-K\"ahler metrics, with focus on the problem of their coexistence on compact complex manifolds, and their behaviour at deformations and blow-up. We also describe a…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…

In 1977, Gauduchon proved that on every compact hermitian manifold $(X, \omega)$ there exists a conformally equivalent hermitian metric $\omega_{\mathrm{G}}$ which satisfies $\mathrm{dd}^c \omega_{\mathrm{G}}^{n-1} = 0$. In this note, we…

We note that the Bogomolny equation for abelian vortices is precisely the condition for invariance of the Hermitian-Einstein equation under a degenerate conformal transformation. This leads to a natural interpretation of vortices as…

We investigate bi-Hermitian metrics on compact complex surfaces with odd first Betti number producing new examples with connected anti-canonical divisor using the general construction of \cite{abd15}. The result is a complete classification…

We give a condition for an almost constant-type manifold to be a constant-type manifold, and holomorphic and $R$-invariant submanifolds of almost Hermitian manifolds are studied. Generalizations of some results in [5] are given.

If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…

We study two types of isotropic planes: weakly isotropic and strongly isotropic planes. We prove that a Riemannian manifold of indefinite metric is conformally flat if and only if its curvature tensor vanishes on all the strongly isotropic…

The stability and the index of complete one-sided minimal surfaces of certain three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with positive scalar curvature are studied.

We show that there are infinitely many pairwise nonhomothetic, complete, periodic metrics with constant scalar curvature that are conformal to the round metric on $S^n\setminus S^k$, where $k < \frac{n-2}{2}$. These metrics are obtained by…

We study the stability and H\"older continuity of solutions to degenerate complex Monge--Amp\`ere equations associated with a (non-closed) big form on compact Hermitian manifolds. We also show that the solution is globally continuous when…

We study some basic properties and examples of Hermitian metrics on complex manifolds whose traces of the curvature of the Chern connection are proportional to the metric itself.
