We show that symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are related to special types of almost generalized K\"ahler structures. By considering the commutator $Q$ of the two associated almost complex structures…

Let $(X,J)$ be a nilmanifold with a left-invariant nilpotent complex structure. We study the existence of $p$-K\"ahler structures (which include K\"ahler and balanced metrics) on $X$. More precisely, we determine an optimal $p$ such that…

In the present paper we provide a construction via mapping tori of (non Bismut flat) strong HKT and generalized hyperk\"ahler structures on compact manifolds. The skew-symmetric torsion is parallel, but the manifolds are not a product of a…

We propose the notion of the oscillator on K\"ahler space and consider its supersymmetrization in the presence of a constant magnetic field.

Let a torus $T$ act on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with moment map $\phi$. We say that the Hamiltonian $T$-manifold $(M,\omega,\phi)$ has complexity one if $\frac{1}{2} \dim M - \dim T = 1$, and that it is K\"ahler if it admits an…

We decompose the twisted index obstruction $\theta(M)$ against positive scalar curvature metrics for oriented manifolds with spin universal cover into a pairing of a twisted $K$-homology with a twisted $K$-theory class and prove that…

The property of admitting an astheno-K\"ahler metric is not stable under the action of small deformations of the complex structure of a compact complex manifold. In this paper, we prove necessary cohomological conditions for the existence…

In this paper, we study the existence of twisted constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler (cscK) metrics and non-existence of coupled cscK metrics on minimal ruled surfaces over a Riemann surface of genus $2$. Moreover, we give a bound for the…

We study the interplay between the following types of special non-K\"ahler Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds: it locally conformally K\"ahler, $k$-Gauduchon, balanced and locally conformally balanced and prove that a locally…

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…

This article contains a compression of results from alg-geom/9501001, with most proofs omitted. We prove that every two points of the connected moduli space of holomorphically symplectic manifolds can be connected with so-called ``twistor…

We investigate the pseudo-hyperk\"ahler geometry of higher degree rational curves in the twistor space of a hyperk\"ahler $4$-manifold.

We construct a braided structure on the algebra of K\"ahler differential forms of a commutative algebra twisted by an endomorphism. This generalises the construction done in M. Karoubi, Quantum Methods in Algebraic Topology, see…

We study metric aspects of the universal moduli space of solutions to Hitchin's equations as the complex structure $J$ varies over the Teichm\"uller space $\mathcal{T}$ of a closed surface $\Sigma$. Our approach is gauge theoretical and…

We consider complete nearly K\"ahler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. We prove some metric properties of strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds and give a sufficient condition for the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian…

Let M be an oriented compact 3-manifold and let T be a (loose) triangulation of M, with ideal vertices at the components of the boundary of M and possibly internal vertices. We show that any spin structure s on M can be encoded by extra…

We identify various structures on the configuration space C of a flying saucer, moving in a three-dimensional smooth manifold M. Always C is a five-dimensional contact manifold. If M has a projective structure, then C is its twistor space…

We consider the reduced twistor space $Z$ of an almost Hermitian manifold $M$, after O'Brian and Rawnsley (Ann. Global Anal. Geom., 1985). We concentrate on dimension 6. This space has a natural almost complex structure $\mathcal J$…

Motivated by generalized geometry (\`a la Hitchin), we discuss the integrability conditions for four natural almost complex structures on the product bundle ${\mathcal Z}\times {\mathcal Z}\to M$, where ${\mathcal Z}$ is the twistor space…

This is the first in a series of papers in which we develop a twistor-based method of constructing hyperkaehler metrics from holomorphic functions and elliptic curves. As an application, we revisit the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold and derive in…
