The realization of tractor bundles as associated bundles in conformal geometry is studied. It is shown that different natural choices of principal bundle with normal Cartan connection corresponding to a given conformal manifold can give…

We construct a Kaehler structure on the punctured cotangent bundle of the Cayley projective plane whose Kaehler form coincides with the natural symplectic form on the cotangent bundle and we show that the geodesic flow action is holomorphic…

For a compact group G, we give a sufficient condition for embedding one G-equivariant vector bundle into another one and for a stable isomorphism between two such bundles to imply an isomorphism. Our criteria involve multiplicities of…

We define the notion of mirror of a Calabi-Yau manifold with a stable bundle in the context of type II strings in terms of supersymmetric cycles on the mirror. This allows us to relate the variation of Hodge structure for cohomologies…

We consider the problem of existence of semistable systems of Hodge bundles with parabolic structure over a finite set $S \subset \mathbb P^1$ of type $(1,n)$. That is, we consider parabolic Higgs bundles $(\mathcal E, \theta)$, where…

After a review of the general properties of holomorphic spheres in complex surfaces we describe the local geometry in the vicinity of a CP^1 embedded with a negative normal bundle. As a by-product, we build (asymptotically locally…

Magnet-superconductor hybrid heterostructures constitute a promising candidate system for the quantum engineering of chiral topological superconductivity. Here, we investigate the stability of their topological phases in the presence of…

A holomorphic Poisson structure induces a deformation of the complex structure as Hitchin's generalized geometry. Its associated cohomology naturally appears as the limit of a spectral sequence of a double complex. The first sheet of this…

Modular invariance is a necessary condition for the consistency of any closed string theory. In particular, it imposes stringent constraints on the spectrum of orbifold theories, and in principle determines their spectrum uniquely up to…

We introduce the $J$-equation on holomorphic vector bundles over compact K\"ahler manifolds and investigate some fundamental properties as well as examples of solutions. In particular, we provide an algebraic condition called (asymptotic)…

A holomorphic chain on a compact Riemann surface is a tuple of vector bundles together with homomorphisms between them. We show that the moduli space of holomorphic chains of rank one is identified with a fiber product of projective space…

A locally conformally Kahler (LCK) manifold is a manifold which is covered by a Kahler manifold, with the deck transform group acting by homotheties. We show that the blow-up of a compact LCK manifold along a complex submanifold admits an…

This research announcement gives a brief report of the main results in our paper "PU(2) monopoles, I: Regularity, Uhlenbeck compactness, and transversality" (Journal of Differential Geometry, to appear). We describe the existence of…

Bundles of stiff filaments are ubiquitous in the living world, found both in the cytoskeleton and in the extracellular medium. These bundles are typically held together by smaller cross-linking molecules. We demonstrate analytically,…

We continue our study of heterotic compactifications on non-Kahler complex manifolds with torsion. We give further evidence of the consistency of the six-dimensional manifold presented earlier and discuss the anomaly cancellation and…

We describe a sufficient condition for actions constructed in projective superspace to possess an SU(2) R-symmetry. We check directly that this condition implies that the corresponding hyperkahler varieties, constructed by means of the…

A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with a triple of complex structures satisfying the quaternionic relations. A holomorphic Lagrangian variety on a hypercomplex manifold with trivial canonical bundle is a holomorphic subvariety…

A major problem in discussing heterotic string models is the stabilisation of the many vector bundle moduli via the superpotential generated by world-sheet instantons. In arXiv:1110.6315 we have discussed the method to make a discrete twist…

Let $M\stackrel\pi \arrow X$ be a principal elliptic fibration over a Kaehler base $X$. We assume that the Kaehler form on $X$ is lifted to an exact form on $M$ (such fibrations are called positive). Examples of these are regular Vaisman…

Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with a non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structure. Then there exist deformations of non-trivial generalized Kahler structures with one pure spinor on X. We prove that every Poisson submanifold of X is a…
