The Eguchi-Hanson metric is a natural metric on the total space of the cotangent bundle $T^*\mathbb{CP}(1)$ of the complex projective line $\mathbb{CP}(1) \simeq \mathbb{S}^2$, which extends the Fubini-Study metric of $\mathbb{CP}(1)$. By…
The total space of the tangent bundle of a K\"ahler manifold admits a canonical K\"ahler structure. Parallel translation identifies the space ${\Bbb{T}}$ of oriented affine lines in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ with the tangent bundle of $S^2$. Thus, the…
We prove that every Kaehler metric, whose potential is a function of the time-like distance in the flat Kaehler-Lorentz space, is of quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, satisfying certain conditions. This gives a local…
A mapping class group of an oriented manifold is a quotient of its diffeomorphism group by the isotopies. We compute a mapping class group of a hypekahler manifold $M$, showing that it is commensurable to an arithmetic subgroup in SO(3,…
A notable example due to Heier, Lu, Wong, and Zheng shows that there exist compact complex K\"ahler manifolds with ample canonical line bundle such that the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative semi-definite and vanishes along…
Let (M,I,J,K) be a hyperkahler manifold of real dimension 4n, and L a non-trivial holomorphic line bundle on (M,I). Using the quaternionic Dolbeault complex, we prove the following vanishing theorem for holomorphic cohomology of L. If the…
The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups each carry a canonical (positive definite) K\"ahler structure, famously used to realize the group's irreducible representations in holomorphic sections of appropriate line bundles (Borel-Weil…
We describe the first order moduli space of heterotic string theory compactifications which preserve $N=1$ supersymmetry in four dimensions, that is, the infinitesimal parameter space of the Strominger system. We establish that if we…
In this paper we study the para-hyperK\"ahler geometry of the deformation space of MGHC anti-de Sitter structures on $\Sigma\times\mathbb R$, for $\Sigma$ a closed oriented surface. We show that a neutral pseudo-Riemannian metric and three…
We identify the holomorphic de Rham complex of the minimal extension of a meromorphic vector bundle with connexion on a compact Riemann surface X with the L^2 complex relative to a suitable metric on the bundle and a complete metric on the…
The $L^1$-$L^\infty$ geometry is the Finsler geometry of the Teichm\"uller space by the Teichm\"uller metric and the $L^1$-norm function of holomorphic quadratic differentials. In this paper, aiming to develop the $L^1$-$L^\infty$-geometry…
A simple geometric procedure is proposed for constructing Wick symbols on cotangent bundles to Riemannian manifolds. The main ingredient of the construction is a method of endowing the cotangent bundle with a formal K\"ahler structure. The…
Let M be a six dimensional manifold, endowed with a cohomogeneity one action of G= SU_2 x SU_2, and M_reg its subset of regular points. We show that M_reg admits a smooth, 2-parameter family of G-invariant, non-isometric strict nearly…
We call a quaternionic Kaehler manifold with non-zero scalar curvature, whose quaternionic structure is trivialized by a hypercomplex structure, a hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kaehler manifold. We prove that every locally symmetric…
We give a general construction of extremal Kaehler metrics on the total space of certain holomorphic submersions, extending results of Dervan-Sektnan, Fine, and Hong. We consider submersions whose fibres admit a degeneration to Kaehler…
This paper concerns the explicit construction of extremal Kaehler metrics on total spaces of projective bundles, which have been studied in many places. We present a unified approach, motivated by the theory of hamiltonian 2-forms (as…
We show that a compact Kahler manifold admitting a nondegenerate holomorphic 2-form valued in a line bundle is a finite cyclic cover of a hyperkahler manifold. With respect to the connection induced by the locally hyperkahler metric, the…
Let $M$ be a singular hyperkaehler variety, obtained as a moduli space of stable holomorphic bundles on a compact hyperkaehler manifold (alg-geom/9307008). Consider $M$ as a complex variety in one of the complex structures induced by the…
A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…
HyperK\"ahler spaces, including manifolds, orbifolds and conical singularities play an important role in superstring/$M$-theory and gauge theories as well as in differential and algebraic geometry. In this paper we provide hundreds of new…
