In this note, we shall prove geodesic convexity of the space of K\"ahler potentials on an ALE K\"ahler manifold. This extends earlier results in the compact case proved in the fundamental work of X-X. Chen. We further prove the boundedness…

For any Lagrangean K\"ahler submanifold $M \subset T^*{\Bbb C}^n$, there exists a canonical hyper K\"ahler metric on $T^*M$. A K\"ahler potential for this metric is given by the generalized Calabi Ansatz of the theoretical physicists…

A contact manifold $M$ can be defined as a quotient of a symplectic manifold $X$ by a proper, free action of $\R^{>0}$, with the symplectic form homogeneous of degree 2. If $X$ is, in addition, Kaehler, and its metric is also homogeneous of…

In this work we consider infinite dimensional extensions of some finite dimensional Gaussian geometric functionals called the Gaussian Minkowski functionals. These functionals appear as coefficients in the probability content of a tube…

We show that, locally, all geometric objects of Generalized Kahler Geometry can be derived from a function K, the "generalized Kahler potential''. The metric g and two-form B are determined as nonlinear functions of second derivatives of K.…

A locally conformally K\"ahler (LCK) manifold $M$ is one which is covered by a K\"ahler manifold $\tilde M$ with the deck transform group acting conformally on $\tilde M$. If $M$ admits a holomorphic flow, acting on $\tilde M$ conformally,…

We show that the Einstein-Hilbert functional, as a functional on the space of Reeb vector fields, detects the vanishing Sasaki-Futaki invariant. In particular, this provides an obstruction to the existence of a constant scalar curvature…

We study the space of Sasaki metrics on a compact manifold $M$ by introducing an odd-dimensional analogue of the $J$-flow. That leads to the notion of critical metric in the Sasakian context. In analogy to the K\"ahler case, on a polarised…

We consider a scalar field equation in dimension $1+1$ with a positive external potential having non-degenerate isolated zeros. We construct weakly interacting pure multi-solitons, that is solutions converging exponentially in time to a…

We define reduction of locally conformal Kaehler manifolds, considered as conformal Hermitian manifolds, and we show its equivalence with an unpublished construction given by Biquard and Gauduchon. We show the compatibility between this…

We extract a new class of paracontact paracomplex Riemannian manifolds arising from certain cone construction, call it para-Sasaki-like Riemannian manifold and give explicit examples. We define a hyperbolic extension of a paraholomorphic…

We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted…

We apply the Berglund-H\"ubsch transpose rule from BHK mirror symmetry to show that to an $n-1$-dimensional Calabi-Yau orbifold in weighted projective space defined by an invertible polynomial, we can associate four (possibly) distinct…

We prove the existence of Sasakian metrics with positive Ricci curvature on certain highly connected odd dimensional manifolds. In particular, we show that manifolds homeomorphic to the 2k-fold connected sum of S^{2n-1} x S^{2n} admit…

This is a companion to our previous paper. Here, we derive local dimension-free estimates for volumes of sub- and super-level sets of analytic functions of several variables.

This Ph.D. thesis is devoted to the constructions of Lagrangian formulation on Finsler and Kawaguchi manifolds. While Finsler geometry is a natural extension of Riemannian geometry, Kawaguchi geometry is the extension of Finsler geometry to…

Let (M,J) be an almost complex manifold. We show that the infinite-dimensional space Tau of totally real submanifolds in M carries a natural connection. This induces a canonical notion of geodesics in Tau and a corresponding definition of…

We extend Calabi ansatz over K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds to Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. As an application we prove the existence of a complete scalar-flat K\"ahler metric on K\"ahler cone manifolds over Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. In…

A locally conformally Kaehler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kaehler covering M, with monodromy acting on M by Kaehler homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial…

The purpose of the present paper is to study the globally and locally $\varphi $-${\cal T}$-symmetric $\left( \varepsilon \right) $-para Sasakian manifold in dimension $3$. The globally $\varphi $-$ {\cal T}$-symmetric $3$-dimensional…
