This article initiates the study of isotrivial Lagrangian fibrations of compact hyper-K\"ahler manifolds. We present four foundational results that extend well-known facts about isotrivial elliptic fibrations of K3 surfaces. First, we prove…

In the framework of special Kahler geometry we consider the supergravity-matter system which emerges on a K3-fibered Calabi-Yau manifold. By applying the rigid limit procedure in the vicinity of a conifold singularity we compute the Kahler…

A classical theorem, mainly due to Aleksandrov and Pogorelov, states that any Riemannian metric on $S^2$ with curvature $K>-1$ is induced on a unique convex surface in $H^3$. A similar result holds with the induced metric replaced by the…

This is an expository paper which aims to give a simple proof of the existence of Ricci-flat metrics on certain K3 surfaces, as an illustration of general "glueing" techniques.

We study super Landau-Ginzburg mirrors of the weighted projective superspace WCP^{3|2} which is a Calabi-Yau supermanifold and appeared in hep-th/0312171(Witten) in the topological B-model. One of them is an elliptic fibration over the…

We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semiample canonical bundle and intermediate Kodaira dimension, and show that the flow collapses to a canonical metric on the base of the Iitaka fibration in the locally…

We study moduli spaces of nonlinear sigma-models on Calabi-Yau manifolds, using the one-loop semiclassical approximation. The data being parameterized includes a choice of complex structure on the manifold, as well as some ``extra…

In the moduli space of polarized varieties the same unpolarized variety can occur multiple times However, for K3 surfaces, compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds, and abelian varieties the number is finite. This may be viewed as a consequence 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…

Let $\mathcal{K}(n, V)$ be the set of $n$-dimensional compact Kahler-Einstein manifolds $(X, g)$ satisfying $Ric(g)= - g$ with volume bounded above by $V$. We prove that after passing to a subsequence, any sequence $\{ (X_j,…

We introduce a class of hermitian metrics with {\em Lee potential}, that generalize the notion of l.c.K. metrics with potential introduced in \cite{ov} and show that in the classical examples of Calabi and Eckmann of complex structures on…

A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ is called {\em astheno-K\"ahler} if its fundamental $2$-form $F$ satisfies the condition $\partial \overline \partial F^{n - 2} =0$. If $n =3$, then the metric is {\em strong…

We study the quasimap invariants of elliptic and K3 fibrations. Oberdieck and Pixton conjectured that the Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic fibrations are quasi-modular forms. Analogously, we propose similar conjecture for the quasimap…
