In a recent preprint, Chi Li proved that aymptotically conical complex manifolds with regular tangent cone at infinity admit holomorphic compactifications (his result easily extends to the quasiregular case). In this short note, we show…
Let $Y$ be a closed Calabi-Yau manifold. Let $\omega$ be the K\"ahler form of a Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric on $\mathbb{C}^m \times Y$. We prove that if $\omega$ is uniformly bounded above and below by constant multiples of…
It is shown that any compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ gives canonically rise to two strongly homotopy algebras, the first one being associated with the Hodge theory of the de Rham complex and the second one with the Hodge theory of the…
In this paper, we first establish an $L^2$-type Dolbeault isomorphism for logarithmic differential forms by H\"{o}rmander's $L^2$-estimates. By using this isomorphism and the construction of smooth Hermitian metrics, we obtain a number of…
By using the global deformation of almost complex structures which are compatible with a symplectic form off a Lebesgue measure zero subset, we construct a (measurable) Lipschitz Kahler metric such that the one-form type Calabi-Yau equation…
We construct new complete Calabi-Yau metrics on the complement of an anticanonical divisors $D$ in a Fano manifold of dimension at least three, when $D$ consists of two transversely intersecting smooth divisors. The asymptotic geometry is…
Let $X$ denote the complex projective plane, blown up at the nine base points of a pencil of cubics, and let $D$ be any fiber of the resulting elliptic fibration on $X$. Using ansatz metrics inspired by work of Gross-Wilson and a PDE method…
We survey some recent developments on the problem of understanding degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with their Ricci-flat Kahler metrics, with an emphasis on the case when the metrics are volume collapsing.
We develop numerical algorithms for solving the Einstein equation on Calabi-Yau manifolds at arbitrary values of their complex structure and Kahler parameters. We show that Kahler geometry can be exploited for significant gains in…
We study the collapsing behaviour of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a projective Calabi-Yau manifold which admits an abelian fibration, when the volume of the fibers approaches zero. We show that away from the critical locus of the fibration…
Our aim here is to investigate the holomorphic geometric structures on compact complex manifolds which may not be K\"ahler. We prove that holomorphic geometric structures of affine type on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with polystable…
We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics on complements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous manifolds and discuss when this metric is complete and K\"ahler. This construction has a strong interplay…
We study the degenerations of asymptotically conical Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics as the K\"ahler class degenerates to a semi-positive class. We show that under appropriate assumptions, the Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics converge to a…
We study various geometric properties of log Calabi-Yau manifolds, i.e. log smooth pairs $(X,D)$ such that $K_X+D=0$. More specifically, we focus on the two cases where $X$ is a Fano manifold and $D$ is either smooth or has two proportional…
Right after Yau's resolution of the Calabi conjecture in the late 1970s, physicists Page and Gibbons-Pope conjectured that one may approximate Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on the $K3$ surface with metrics having "almost special holonomy"…
In this paper, we make progress on understanding the collapsing behavior of Calabi-Yau metrics on a degenerating family of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of a family of smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective space…
We show how the smooth geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds emerges from the thermodynamic limit of the statistical mechanical model of crystal melting defined in our previous paper arXiv:0811.2801. In particular, the thermodynamic partition…
We prove several formulas related to Hodge theory and the Kodaira-Spencer-Kuranishi deformation theory of K\"ahler manifolds. As applications, we present a construction of globally convergent power series of integrable Beltrami…
In the present work the local form of certain Calabi-Yau metrics possessing a local Hamiltonian Killing vector is described in terms of a single non linear equation. The main assumptions are that the complex $(3,0)$-form is of the form…
Integrals of characteristic classes of tautological sheaves on the Hilbert scheme of points on a surface frequently arise in enumerative problems. We use the K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas theory of certain toric Calabi-Yau threefolds to…
