In the present paper we provide a description of complete Calabi-Yau metrics on the canonical bundle of generalized complex flag manifolds. By means of Lie theory we give an explicit description of complete Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics…
Following [1] and [2], we discuss the Picard-Fuchs equation for the super Landau-Ginsburg mirror to the super-Calabi-Yau in WCP^(3|2)[1,1,1,3|1,5], (using techniques of [3,4]) Meijer basis of solutions and monodromies (at 0,1 and \infty) in…
Tian and Yau constructed a complete Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric on the complement of an ample and smooth anticanonical divisor. We inquire into the behaviour of this metric towards the boundary divisor and prove a slow decay rate of the…
We investigate the Kahler-Ricci flow on holomorphic fiber spaces whose generic fiber is a Calabi-Yau manifold. We establish uniform metric convergence to a metric on the base, away from the singular fibers, and show that the rescaled…
Hermitian, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form give a natural extension of Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of complex, non-K\"ahler manifolds, and arise independently in mathematical physics. We reinterpret this condition…
This paper is a sequel to arXiv:1012.2940. We further investigate the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics under degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We extend Theorem 1.1 in arXiv:1012.2940 by removing the…
We construct non-K\"ahler Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimension $\ge$ 4 with arbitrarily large 2nd Betti numbers by smoothing normal crossing varieties. The examples have K3 fibrations over smooth projective varieties and their algebraic…
We prove the existence of a Ricci flat metric on the Kummer K3 surface. The proof follows the general strategy of Donaldson's gluing construction. However, we tackle the analysis without appealing to weighted norms or conformal…
We study the long-time behavior of the Kahler-Ricci flow on compact Kahler manifolds. We give an almost complete classification of the singularity type of the flow at infinity, depending only on the underlying complex structure. If the…
In this paper, we study the form type Calabi-Yau equation. We define the astheno-Ricci curvature and prove that there exists a solution for the form type Calabi-Yau equation if the astheno-Ricci curvature is non-positive.
For a given complex n-fold M we present an explicit construction of all complex (n+1)-folds which are principal holomorphic T2-fibrations over M. For physical applications we consider the case of M being a Calabi-Yau 2-fold. We show that…
In this paper we prove that every Riemannian metric on a locally conformally flat manifold with umbilic boundary can be conformally deformed to a scalar flat metric having constant mean curvature. This result can be seen as a generalization…
In this work, we describe the asymptotic behavior of complete metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature on open Kahler manifolds that can be compactified by the addition of a smooth and ample divisor. First, we construct a explicit sequence…
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of the form-type Calabi-Yau equation on K\"ahler manifolds of nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature.
We prove that complete submanifolds, on which the Omori-Yau weak maximum principle for the Hessian holds, with low codimension and bounded by cylinders of small radius must have points rich in large positive extrinsic curvature. The lower…
We investigate the delicate interplay between the types of singular fibers in elliptic fibrations of Calabi-Yau threefolds (used to formulate F-theory) and the "matter" representation of the associated Lie algebra. The main tool is the…
We investigate orbifold and smooth Calabi-Yau compactifications of the non-supersymmetric heterotic SO(16)xSO(16) string. We focus on such Calabi-Yau backgrounds in order to recycle commonly employed techniques, like index theorems and…
We show any Riemannian curvature model can be geometrically realized by a manifold with constant scalar curvature. We also show that any pseudo-Hermitian curvature model, para-Hermitian curvature model, hyper-pseudo-Hermitian curvature…
We show that, up to biholomorphism, a given noncompact complex manifold only admits one shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci soliton with Ricci curvature tending to zero at infinity. Our result does not require fixing the asymptotic data of…
In this paper, we make progress on understanding the collapsing behavior of Calabi-Yau metrics on a degenerating family of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of a family of smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective space…
