We survey recent advances in the theory of moduli spaces of stable sheaves on hyperk\"ahler manifolds of dimension greater than $2$. We start by recalling the well-known theory in dimension $2$, i.e.~for $K3$ surfaces, emphasizing the…
We show that simply connected toric hyperK\"ahler metrics of finite topological type with maximal volume growth are generically quasi-asymptotically conical, which allows us to compute explicitly their reduced $L^2$-cohomology groups. In…
We describe the topology of the moduli spaces of flat metrics for all the 3-dimensional closed manifolds. We give an algebraic description of the moduli spaces for the 4-dimensional closed flat manifolds with a single generator in their…
Let $X$ be a complex manifold and let $g$ be a polyhedral metric on it inducing its topology. We say that $g$ is a polyhedral K\"ahler (PK) metric on $X$ if it is K\"ahler outside its singular set. The local geometry of PK metrics is…
Heterotic vacua of string theory are realised, at large radius, by a compact threefold with vanishing first Chern class together with a choice of stable holomorphic vector bundle. These form a wide class of potentially realistic…
We construct model hyper-K\"ahler geometries that include and generalize the multi-Ooguri-Vafa model using the formalism of Gaitto, Moore, and Neitzke. This is the first paper in a series of papers making rigorous Gaiotto--Moore--Neitzke's…
We study the natural K\"ahler metrics on moduli spaces of stable oriented pairs in a very general framework, and we prove a universal formula expressing the K\"ahler class of such a moduli space in terms of characteristic classes of the…
We discuss various aspects of moment map geometry in symplectic and hyperK\"ahler geometry. In particular, we classify complete hyperK\"ahler manifolds of dimension $4n$ with a tri-Hamiltonian action of a torus of dimension $n$, without any…
We find the moduli space of multi-solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories at large theta, in arbitrary dimension. The existence of a non-trivial moduli space at leading order in 1/theta is a consequence of a Bogomolnyi bound obeyed…
A canonical hyperkaehler metric on the total space $T^*M$ of a cotangent bundle to a complex manifold $M$ has been constructed recently by the author (see alg-geom/9710026). This paper presents the results of alg-geom/9710026 in a…
The metric on the moduli space of SU(2) charge four BPS monopoles with tetrahedral symmetry is calculated using numerical methods. In the asymptotic region, in which the four monopoles are located on the vertices of a large tetrahedron, the…
We study unbounded 2-dimensional metric polytopes such as those arising as K\"ahler quotients of complete K\"ahler 4-manifolds with two commuting symmetries and zero scalar curvature. Under a mild closedness condition, we obtain a complete…
We investigate what supersymmetry says about the geometry of the moduli space of hyperbolic monopoles. We construct a three-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs theory on hyperbolic space whose half-BPS configurations coincide with…
The group SU(2)*SU(2) acts naturally on SL(2,C) by simultaneous right and left multiplication. We study the Kahler metrics invariant under this action using global Kahler potentials. The volume growth and various curvature quantities are…
We classify the moduli spaces of the four-dimensional topological half-flat gravity models by using the canonical bundle. For a K3-surface or four-dimensional torus, they describe an equivalent class of a trio of the Einstein-Kahler forms (…
We characterize the geometric moduli of non-Kaehler manifolds with torsion. Heterotic supersymmetric flux compactifications require that the six-dimensional internal manifold be balanced, the gauge bundle be hermitian Yang-Mills, and also…
We study the effective D=4, N=1 supergravity description of five-dimensional heterotic M-theory in the presence of an M5 brane, and derive the Killing vectors and isometry group for the Kahler moduli-space metric. The group is found to be a…
I discuss some aspects of the moduli space of hyper-K{\"a}hler four-fold compactifications of type II and ${\cal M}$- theories. The dimension of the moduli space of these theories is strictly bounded from above. As an example I study…
The space of K\"ahler metrics can, on the one hand, be approximated by subspaces of algebraic metrics, while, on the other hand, can be enlarged to finite-energy spaces arising in pluripotential theory. The latter spaces are realized as…
The moduli space metric and its Kahler potential for well-separated non-Abelian vortices are obtained in U(N) gauge theories with N Higgs fields in the fundamental representation.
