In this paper we study QCH K\"ahler surfaces, i.e. 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (of signature (++++)) admitting a K\"ahler complex structure with quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvature. We give a detailed description of QCH…

The classifying space of inertial reference frames in special relativity is naturally hyperbolic. There is a remarkable interplay between central elements of hyperbolic geometry and those of special relativity -- which, to a certain extent,…

We give an equivalent definition of compact locally conformally hyperk\"ahler manifolds in terms of the existence of a nondegenerate complex two-form with natural properties. This is a conformal analogue of Beauville's theorem stating that…

By using the global deformation of almost complex structures which are compatible with a symplectic form off a Lebesgue measure zero subset, we construct a (measurable) Lipschitz Kahler metric such that the one-form type Calabi-Yau equation…

The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of…

Special Lagrangian submanifolds are submanifolds of a Calabi-Yau manifold calibrated by the real part of the holomorphic volume form. In this paper we use elliptic theory for edge-degenerate differential operators on singular manifolds to…

We give infinitely many new isomorphisms between moduli spaces of bundles on local surfaces and on local Calabi--Yau threefolds.

We investigate the complex and K\"ahler attractor mechanisms of moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The complex attractor mechanism was previously studied by Ferrara-Kallosh-Strominger, Moore and others in string theory. It is concerned…

This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…

We will survey some aspects of the smooth topology, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry and contact geometry of anti-canonical pairs in complex dimension two.

We study the four-dimensional (4D) scalar potential arising from a generalized type IIA flux superpotential including the (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we show that using a set of peculiar flux combinations, the 4D scalar potential can be…

We present a survey of some results and questions related to the notion of scalar curvature in the setting of symplectic supermanifolds.

Moduli stabilisation in superstring compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds remains a key challenge in the search for realistic string vacua. In particular, odd moduli arising from the reduction of 2-forms $(B_2,C_2)$ in type IIB are…

In this paper we explore the connection between special degenerations of algebraic manifolds and geodesics in the space of Kahler metrics. We provide a new and general geometric construction of nontrivial solutions for the geodesic…

The moduli space of solutions to the vortex equations on a Riemann surface are well known to have a symplectic (in fact K\"{a}hler) structure. We show this symplectic structure explictly and proceed to show a family of symplectic (in fact,…

We survey some recent developments in the asymptotic geometry of the Hitchin moduli space, starting with an introduction to the Hitchin moduli space and hyperk\"ahler geometry.

We present a symplectic rearrangement of the effective four-dimensional non-geometric scalar potential resulting from type IIB superstring compactification on Calabi Yau orientifolds. The strategy has two main steps. In the first step, we…

It is known that there exist Calabi-Yau structures on the complexifications of symmetric spaces of compact type. In this paper, we describe the Calabi-Yau structures of the complexified symmetric spaces in terms of the Schwarz's theorem in…

Using the modern perspective of noncommutative algebraic geometry we survey some recent progress in the theory of stability conditions and moduli spaces with applications in hyperk\"ahler geometry and classical algebraic geometry.

We introduce some new algebraic structures arising naturally in the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and mirror symmetry. We give a universal construction of Calabi-Yau algebras in terms of a noncommutative symplectic DG algebra resolution.…
