A new class of compact K\"ahler manifolds, called special, is defined, which are the ones having no surjective meromorphic map to an orbifold of general type. The special manifolds are in many respect higher-dimensional generalisations of…

Let $X$ be a compact K{\"a}hler manifold of dimension three. We prove that there exists a projective manifold $Y$ such that $\pi\_1(X)\simeq \pi\_1(Y)$. We also prove the bimeromorphic existence of algebraic approximations for compact…

We consider a compact Kaehler manifold whose dual Kaehler cone contains a rational interior point. The general problem we have in mind is how far the manifold is from being projective; i.e. we ask for the algebraic dimension. We prove e.g.…

Essential $\aleph_0$-categoricity; i.e., $\aleph_0$-categoricity in some full countable language, is shown to be a robust notion for strongly minimal compact complex manifolds. Characterisations of triviality and essential…

The division of compact Riemann surfaces into 3 cases K_C<0, g=0, or K_C=0, g=1, or K_C>0, g>=2 is well known, and corresponds to the familiar trichotomy of spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic non-Euclidean plane geometry. Classification…

We classify flat strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds with (necessarily) indefinite metric. Any such manifold is locally the product of a flat pseudo-K\"ahler factor of maximal dimension and a strict flat nearly K\"ahler manifold of split…

In this article we introduce the notion of Polyhedral Kahler manifolds, even dimensional polyhedral manifolds with unitary holonomy. We concentrate on the 4-dimensional case, prove that such manifolds are smooth complex surfaces, and…

We introduce a class of complex manifolds which we call weakly holomorphic homogeneous regular manifolds (wHHR) manifolds. As the name suggests, this class contains the so-called holomorphic homogeneous regular manifolds but also other…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of compact 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils interesting…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of closed 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity of a manifold is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils…

Austere submanifolds in Euclidean space were introduced by Harvey and Lawson in connection with their study of calibrated geometries. The algebraic possibilities for second fundamental forms of 4-dimensional austere submanifolds were…

The K\"ahler rank was introduced by Harvey and Lawson in their 1983 paper as a measure of the {\it k\"ahlerianity} of a compact complex surface. In this work we generalize this notion to the case of compact complex manifolds and we prove…

We study K\"ahler manifolds that are (weak) relatives, that is, K\"ahler manifolds which share a (locally isometric) submanifold. In particular, we prove that if two K\"ahler manifolds are weak relatives and one of them is projective, then…

In this paper we describe the construction of a new class of non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds. They can be seen as a generalization of Sankaran, OT and LVMB manifolds. Moreover, we give properties of these new spaces. Their Kodaira…

We present an inductive strategy to show the existence of rational curves on compact Kaehler manifolds which are not minimal models but have a pseudoeffective canonical bundle. The tool for this inductive strategy is a weak subadjunction…

This article investigates the subject of rigid compact complex manifolds. First of all we investigate the different notions of rigidity (local rigidity, global rigidity, infinitesimal rigidity, etale rigidity and strong rigidity) and the…

A special spine of a three-manifold is said to be poor if it does not contain proper simple subpolyhedra. Using the Turaev-Viro invariants, we establish that every compact three-dimensional manifold M with connected nonempty boundary has a…

We show the existence of a compact K\"ahler manifold which does not fit in a proper flat family over an irreducible base with one projective (possibly singular) fiber. We also give a topological version of this statement. This strengthens…

We define and study the notion of hyper-K\"ahler category. On the theoretical side, we focus on construction techniques and deformation theory of such categories. We also study in details some examples : non-commutative Hilbert schemes of…

We classify non-algebraic compact K\"ahler threefolds admitting an endomorphism $f: X \to X$ of degree at least two.
