Let $(X,J,\omega,g)$ be a complete $n$-dimensional K\"ahler manifold. A Theorem by Gromov \cite{G} states that the if the K\"ahler form is $d$-bounded, then the space of harmonic $L_2$ forms of degree $k$ is trivial, unless $k=\frac{n}{2}$.…

This paper is a review of current developments in the study of moduli spaces of G2 manifolds. G2 manifolds are 7-dimensional manifolds with the exceptional holonomy group G2. Although they are odd-dimensional, in many ways they can be…

We investigate rigidity and stability properties of critical points of quadratic curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics. We show it is possible to "gauge" the Euler-Lagrange equations, in a self-adjoint fashion, to become…

Suppose $\bar{M}$ is a compact connected odd-dimensional manifold with boundary, whose interior $M$ comes with a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. We will show that the $L^2$-topological torsion of $\bar{M}$ and the…

This is the sequel to "Asymptotically Locally Euclidean metrics with holonomy SU(m)", math.AG/9905041. Let G be a subgroup of U(m), and X a resolution of C^m/G. We define a special class of Kahler metrics g on X called Quasi Asymptotically…

We consider left-invariant (purely) coclosed G$_2$-structures on 7-dimensional 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. According to the dimension of the commutator subgroup, we obtain various criteria characterizing the Riemannian metrics induced by…

In this paper we continue the study of locally analytic representations of a $p$-adic Lie group $G$ in vector spaces over a spherically complete non-archimedean field $K$, building on the algebraic approach to such representations…

We study the existence of invariant metrics with holonomy $G_{2(2)}^* \subset SO(4,3)$ on compact nilmanifolds, i.e. on compact quotients of nilpotent Lie groups by discrete subgroups. We prove that, up to isomorphism, there exists only one…

We construct an asymptotic metric on the moduli space of two centred hyperbolic monopoles by working in the point particle approximation, that is treating well-separated monopoles as point particles with an electric, magnetic and scalar…

Andreotti-Vesentini, Ohsawa, Gromov, Koll\'ar, among others, have observed that Hodge theory could be extended to (non compact) K\"ahler complete manifolds, within the L^2 framework. Also, many vanishing theorems on projective or K\"ahler…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of second-order uniformly elliptic operators on weighted Riemannian manifolds. They naturally emerge when studying spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on families of manifolds…

In this article, we consider $L^{2}$ harmonic forms on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold $X$ with a nonzero parallel form $\omega$. The main result is that if $(X,\omega)$ is a complete $G_{2}$- ( or $Spin(7)$-) manifold with a…

We discuss some new metrics of special holonomy, and their roles in string theory and M-theory. First we consider Spin(7) metrics denoted by C_8, which are complete on a complex line bundle over CP^3. The principal orbits are S^7, described…

We derive an explicit formula for the ADM mass of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) almost K\"ahler manifolds. The formula expresses the mass in terms of the total Hermitian scalar curvature and topological data associated with the…

A classical theorem of Frankel for compact K\"ahler manifolds states that a K\"ahler S^1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, then…

Our main result in this article is a compactness result which states that a noncollapsed sequence of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) scalar-flat K\"ahler metrics on a minimal K\"ahler surface whose K\"ahler classes stay in a compact…

We give a classification of toric, Hermitian, Ricci flat, ALF Riemannian metrics in dimension 4, including metrics with conical singularities. The only smooth examples are on one hand the hyperKaehler ALF metrics, on the other hand, the…

We give an original analytic construction of hyperkahler ALF metrics on some ALE spaces of dihedral type, namely the spaces corresponding to minimal resolutions of Kleinian quotients relative to some binary dihedral group.

We study the deformation theory of nearly $\mathrm{G}_2$ manifolds. These are seven dimensional manifolds admitting real Killing spinors. We show that the infinitesimal deformations of nearly $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures are obstructed in…

We investigate the holonomy group of a linear metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion. In case of the euclidian space and a constant torsion form this group is always semisimple. It does not preserve any non-degenerated 2-form or any…
