Moment-angle manifolds provide a wide class of examples of non-Kaehler compact complex manifolds. A complex moment-angle manifold Z is constructed via certain combinatorial data, called a complete simplicial fan. In the case of rational…

In this paper, we show that if the holomorphic tangent bundle $TX$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ is uniformly weakly RC-positive, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. This result is previously established by Xiaokui Yang…

We study quantum moment maps of $G$-invariant star products, which are a quantum analogue of the moment map for classical Hamiltonian systems. Introducing an integral representation, we show that any quantum moment map for a $G$-invariant…

We introduce and study (strict) Schottky G-bundles over a compact Riemann surface X, where G is a connected reductive algebraic group. Strict Schottky representations are shown to be related to branes in the moduli space of G-Higgs bundles…

The Marle-Guillemin-Sternberg (MGS) form is local model for a neighborhood of an orbit of a Hamiltonian Lie group action on a symplectic manifold. One of the main features of the MGS form is that it puts simultaneously in normal form the…

We investigate the equivariant topological rigidity of complex and quaternionic moment--angle manifolds. By reducing the classification to the equivariant rigidity of their quasitoric (or quoric) quotients and the classification of the…

If X is a CW complex, one can assign to each point of X an ordered abelian group of finite rank whose subset of positive elements depends continuously on the points of X. A locally trivial bundle which arises in this way we denote by E(X).…
