Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian three-dimensional manifold with boundary. We prove the compactness of the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface.…
A classical problem in algebraic geometry is to construct smooth algebraic varieties with prescribed properties. In the approach via smoothings, one first constructs a degenerate scheme with the prescribed properties, and then shows the…
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…
We prove that the space of surjective holomorphic maps from a compact complex manifold to a compact K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical class and finite fundamental group is discrete.
In this paper we state an analog of Calabi's conjecture proved by Yau. The difference with the classical case is that we propose deformation of the complex structure, whereas the complex Monge--Amp\`{e}re equation describes deformation of…
We discuss some aspects of F-theory in four dimensions on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are Calabi-Yau threefold fibrations. A particularly simple class of such manifolds emerges for fourfolds in which the generic…
We construct many new examples of complete Calabi-Yau metrics of maximal volume growth on certain smoothings of Cartesian products of Calabi-Yau cones with smooth cross-sections. A detailed description of the geometry at infinity of these…
Let $D$ be a smooth divisor in a compact complex manifold $X$ and let $\beta \in (0,1)$. We show that in any positive co-homology class on $X$ there is a K\"ahler metric with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along $D$ which has bounded Ricci…
We consider the natural generalization of the parabolic Monge-Amp\`ere equation to HKT geometry. We prove that in the compact case the equation has always a short-time solution and when the hypercomplex manifold is locally flat and admits a…
Let $A$ be a real soft function algebra. In arXiv:2208.11431 we have obtained a canonical splitting $\mathrm{H}^* (\Omega ^\bullet _{A|\mathrm{R}}) \cong \mathrm{H} ^* (X,\mathrm{R})\oplus \text{(something)}$ via the canonical maps…
One may construct a large class of Calabi-Yau varieties by taking anticanonical hypersurfaces in toric varieties obtained from reflexive polytopes. If the intersection of a reflexive polytope with a hyperplane through the origin yields a…
A Riemannian cone $(C, g_C)$ is by definition a warped product $C = \mathbb{R}^+ \times L$ with metric $g_C = dr^2 \oplus r^2 g_L$, where $(L,g_L)$ is a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. We say that $C$ is a Calabi-Yau cone if…
We define the counting of holomorphic cylinders in log Calabi-Yau surfaces. Although we start with a complex log Calabi-Yau surface, the counting is achieved by applying methods from non-archimedean geometry. This gives rise to new…
Complex Ricci-flat (i.e., Calabi-Yau) hypersurfaces in spaces admitting a maximal (toric) $U(1)^n$ gauge symmetry of general type (encoded by certain non-convex and multi-layered multitopes) may degenerate, but can be smoothed by rational…
We give a differential-geometric construction and examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds, at least one of which is {\it{new}}. Ingredients in our construction are {\it admissible pairs}, which were dealt with by Kovalev in \cite{K03} and further…
The aim of this paper is to analyze some geometric properties of the rigid Calabi--Yau threefold $\mathcal{Z}$ obtained by a quotient of $E^3$, where $E$ is a specific elliptic curve. We describe the cohomology of $\mathcal{Z}$ and give a…
In this short note, using Siu-Yau's method [14], we give a new proof that any n-dimensional compact Kahler manifold with positive orthogonal bisectional curvature must be biholomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$.
Using the short time existence of the Calabi flow, we prove that any extremal Kaehler metric on a product toric variety is a product extremal Kaehler metric.
This paper establishes closed-string mirror symmetry for all log Calabi-Yau surfaces with generic parameters, where the exceptional divisor are sufficiently small. We demonstrate that blowing down a $(-1)$-divisor removes a single geometric…
In this article we study the limiting behavior of the K\"ahler Ricci flow on complete non-compact K\"ahler manifolds. We provide sufficient conditions under which a complete non-compact gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton is biholomorphic to…
