In the paper we study the existence of balanced metrics of Hodge-Riemann type on non-K\"ahler complex manifolds. We first find some general obstructions, for instance that a Hodge-Riemann balanced manifold of complex dimension $n$ has to be…
We study the interplay between geometrically-Bott-Chern-formal metrics and SKT metrics. We prove that a $6$-dimensional nilmanifold endowed with a invariant complex structure admits an SKT metric if and only if it is…
We show that the deformation space of complex parallelisable nilmanifolds can be described by polynomial equations but is almost never smooth. This is remarkable since these manifolds have trivial canonical bundle and are holomorphic…
Existence of strong K\"ahler with torsion metrics, shortly SKT metrics, on complex manifolds has been shown to be unstable under small deformations. We find necessary conditions under which the property of being SKT is stable for a smooth…
We study the existence of three classes of Hermitian metrics on certain types of compact complex manifolds. More precisely, we consider balanced, SKT and astheno-K\"ahler metrics. We prove that the twistor spaces of compact hyperk\"ahler…
We provide families of compact astheno-K\"ahler nilmanifolds and we study the behaviour of the complex blowup of such manifolds. We prove that the existence of an astheno-K\"ahler metric satisfying an extra differential condition is not…
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…
We complete the classification of six-dimensional strongly unimodular almost nilpotent Lie algebras admitting complex structures. For several cases we describe the space of complex structures up to isomorphism. As a consequence we determine…
We prove the existence of non-positively curved K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities along a given simple normal crossing divisor on a compact K\"ahler manifold, under a technical condition on the cone angles, and we also…
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…
On a complex manifold an Hermitian metric which is simultaneously SKT and balanced has to be necessarily K\"ahler. It has been conjectured that if a compact complex manifold (M,J) has an SKT metric and a balanced metric both compatible with…
We investigate compact complex manifolds endowed with SKT or balanced metrics. In each case we define a new functional whose critical points are proved to be precisely the K\"ahler metrics, if any, on the manifold. As general manifolds of…
We give an account of old and new results concerning many types of non-K\"ahler metrics, with focus on the problem of their coexistence on compact complex manifolds, and their behaviour at deformations and blow-up. We also describe a…
We prove that for any smooth polarized complex $n$-dimensional manifold $(X, L_X)$ which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L_X)$, and for any integer $k$ large enough (in terms of a bound depending on $(X, L_X)$), the…
We construct a compact 6-dimensional solvmanifold endowed with a non-trivial invariant generalized K\"ahler structure and which does not admit any K\"ahler metric. This is in contrast with the case of nilmanifolds which cannot admit any…
We determine the 6-dimensional solvmanifolds admitting an invariant complex structure with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle. Such complex structures are classified up to isomorphism, and the existence of strong K\"ahler with torsion…
It has been conjectured by Fino and Vezzoni that a compact complex manifold admitting both a compatible SKT and a compatible balanced metric also admits a compatible K\"ahler metric. Using the shear construction and classification results…
We discuss a deformation of Sasakian structure in the presence of totally skew-symmetric torsion by introducing odd dimensional manifolds whose metric cones are K\"ahler with torsion. It is shown that such a geometry inherits similar…
Let $(X,L_{X})$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized manifold. Let $D$ be a smooth hypersurface defined by a holomorphic section of $L_{X}$. In this paper, we study the existence of a complete scalar-flat K\"{a}hler metric on $X \setminus D$ on…
We revisit Brunella's proof of the fact that Kato surfaces admit locally conformally K\" ahler metrics, and we show that it holds for a large class of higher dimensional complex manifolds containing a global spherical shell. On the other…
