A holomorphic Lagrangian fibration on a holomorphically symplectic manifold is a holomorphic map with Lagrangian fibers. It is known that a given compact manifold admits only finitely many holomorphic symplectic structures, up to…
We give a classification of finite groups of symplectic birational automorphisms on a manifold of K3^[3]-type with stable and stably saturated cohomological action. We describe the group of polarized automorphisms of a smooth double…
We investigate differential geometric aspects of moduli spaces parametrizing solutions of coupled vortex equations over a compact Kaehler manifold X. These solutions are known to be related to polystable triples via a Kobayashi-Hitchin type…
A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called geodesic if its integral curves are reparametrized geodesics. We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds admitting nontrivial real-holomorphic geodesic gradient vector fields that satisfy an…
This is a light and short review on the geometry of hypermultiplets coupled to supergravity and its appearance in string theory. As is long known, the target space of the hypermultiplet sigma-model is a quaternion-K\"ahler (QK) manifold of…
In these lectures we discuss some basic aspects of Hamiltonian formalism, which usually do not appear in standard texbooks on classical mechanics for physicists. We pay special attention to the procedure of Hamiltonian reduction…
We review the map between hypercomplex manifolds that admit a closed homothetic Killing vector (i.e. `conformal hypercomplex' manifolds) and quaternionic manifolds of 1 dimension less. This map is related to a method for constructing…
We present a systematic study of threefolds fibred by K3 surfaces that are mirror to sextic double planes. There are many parallels between this theory and the theory of elliptic surfaces. We show that the geometry of such threefolds is…
This article is based on the author's PhD--thesis. We study geometric transitions on the supergravity level using the basic idea of arXiv:hep-th/0403288, where a pair of non-Kaehler backgrounds was constructed, which are related by a…
The main goal of this article is to relate asymptotic geometric properties on a tower of coverings of a non-compact K\"ahler manifold of finite volume with reasonable geometric assumptions to its universal covering. Applicable examples…
We give a physical derivation of generalized Kahler geometry. Starting from a supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model, we rederive and explain the results of Gualtieri regarding the equivalence between generalized Kahler geometry and the…
This is a survey on quaternion Hermitian Weyl (locally conformally quaternion K\"ahler) and hyperhermitian Weyl (locally conformally hyperk\"ahler) manifolds. These geometries appear by requesting the compatibility of some quaternion…
We discuss various aspects of moment map geometry in symplectic and hyperK\"ahler geometry. In particular, we classify complete hyperK\"ahler manifolds of dimension $4n$ with a tri-Hamiltonian action of a torus of dimension $n$, without any…
We show that the pseudo-Riemannian geometry of submanifolds can be formulated in terms of higher order multi-linear maps. In particular, we obtain a Poisson bracket formulation of almost (para-)K\"ahler geometry.
We prove some results on the fibers and images of rational maps from a hyper-K\"ahler manifold. We study in particular the minimal genus of fibers of a fibration into curves. The last section of this paper is devoted to the study of the…
A method of constructing a class of bihamiltonian structures is presented. Elements of this class are generalizations of the so-called bihamiltonian structures of general position on odd-dimensional manifolds. The method consists in a…
The aim of these notes is to acquaint the reader with important objects in complex algebraic geometry: K3 surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogs, hyperk\"ahler manifolds. These manifolds are interesting from several points of view:…
We introduce an extension of hamiltonian dynamics, defined on hyperkahler manifolds, which we call ``hyperhamiltonian dynamics''. We show that this has many of the attractive features of standard hamiltonian dynamics. We also discuss the…
We study holomorphic symplectic manifolds which are fibred by abelian varieties. This structure is a higher dimensional analogue of an elliptic fibration on a K3 surface. We investigate when a holomorphic symplectic manifold is fibred in…
Starting from the (apparently) elementary problem of deciding how many different topological spaces can be obtained by gluing together in pairs the faces of an octahedron, we will describe the central role played by hyperbolic geometry…
