We classify finite energy harmonic 2-forms on the asymptotically flat gravitational instanton constructed by Chen and Teo. We prove that every $U(1)$-bundle admits a unique anti-self-dual Yang-Mills instanton (up to gauge equivalence) which…

The symplectic reduction of a complete toric K\"ahler manifold need not be closed or even be a polygon. Sharp differences in behavior occur between those complete toric K\"ahler 4-manifolds with closed and with non-closed reductions. This…

We study Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure which admit a symplectic form compatible with the complex structure. We prove that each of those Lie algebras is completely determined by a pair (U,H) where U is a complex…

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperk\"aler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: 1.The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the…

We show that any asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) metric which is obstruction-flat or extended obstruction-flat must be ALE of a certain optimal order. Moreover, our proof applies to very general elliptic systems and in any dimension…

We investigate instantons on sine-cones over Sasaki-Einstein and 3-Sasakian manifolds. It is shown that these conical Einstein manifolds are K"ahler with torsion (KT) manifolds admitting Hermitian connections with totally antisymmetric…

We conjecture that any scalar-flat K\"ahler surface in which the Weyl tensor acting on 2-forms annihilates the Ricci form must be either Ricci-flat or locally isometric to a Riemannian product of two real surfaces with mutually opposite…

We construct new examples of $t$-Gauduchon Ricci-flat metrics, for all $t<1$, on compact non-K\"{a}hler Calabi-Yau manifolds defined by certain principal torus bundles over rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number $\varrho(X) > 1$.…

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 non-Einstein Bach-flat gravitational instanton solutions that can be regarded as the generalization of the Taub-NUT/Bolt and Eguchi-Hanson solutions of Einstein gravity to conformal gravity. These solutions include non-Einstein…

This article investigates a set of partial differential equations, the DT-instanton equations, whose solutions can be regarded as a generalization of the notion of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections. These equations owe their name to the hope…

We study solutions to the Kapustin--Witten equations on ALE and ALF gravitational instantons. On any such space and for any compact structure group, we prove asymptotic estimates for the Higgs field. We then use it to prove a vanishing…

In abstract Yang-Mills theory the standard instanton construction relies on the Hodge star having real eigenvalues which makes it inapplicable in the Lorentzian case. We show that for the affine connection an instanton-type construction can…

We give a description of all $G$-invariant Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on the canonical complexification of any compact Riemannian symmetric space $G/K$ of arbitrary rank, by using some special local $(1,0)$ vector fields on $T(G/K)$. As…
