Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ be a simple normal crossing divisor on $X$ such that $K_X+D$ is big and nef. We first prove that the singular K\"ahler--Einstein metric constructed by Berman--Guenancia is almost-complete on $X…

In this paper we introduce the "interpolation-degneration" strategy to study Kahler-Einstein metrics on a smooth Fano manifold with cone singularities along a smooth divisor that is proportional to the anti-canonical divisor. By…

We develop some foundations for the study of Kahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities transverse to a divisor. The main goal is a treatment of the deformation of the cone angle.

We establish an explicit correspondence between two--dimensional projective structures admitting a projective vector field, and a class of solutions to the $SU(\infty)$ Toda equation. We give several examples of new, explicit solutions of…

Reconsidering the harmonic space description of the self-dual Einstein equations, we streamline the proof that all self-dual pure gravitational fields allow a local description in terms of an unconstrained analytic prepotential in harmonic…

We calculate Chow quotients of some families of symmetric \(T\)-varieties. In complexity two we obtain new examples of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics by bounding the symmetric alpha invariant of their orbifold quotients. As an additional…

In this paper, we study the weakly weighted Einstein-Finsler metrics. First, we show that weakly weighted Einstein-Kropina metrics must be of isotropic S-curvature with respect to the Busemann-Hausdorff volume form under a certain condition…

This is a corrected and essentially extended version of the previous preprint arXiv:gr-qc/0105088 v4 (2002) by Y. Nutku and M. Sheftel containing new results. It is being published now in honor of Y. Nutku's memory. All responsibility for…

We investigate topology changing processes in the WKB approximation of four dimensional quantum cosmology with a negative cosmological constant. As Riemannian manifolds which describe quantum tunnelings of spacetime we consider constant…

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…

Eigenfunctions are shown to constitute privileged coordinates of self-dual Einstein spaces with the underlying governing equation being revealed as the general heavenly equation. The formalism developed here may be used to link…

This work presents a novel methodology for deriving stationary and axially symmetric solutions to Einstein field equations using the 1+3 tetrad formalism. This approach reformulates the Einstein equations into first order scalar equations,…

We study the convergence of a discrete Luenberger observer for the barotropic Euler equations in one dimension, for measurements of the velocity only. We use a mixed finite element method in space and implicit Euler integration in time. We…

The Einstein evolution equations are studied in a gauge given by a combination of the constant mean curvature and spatial harmonic coordinate conditions. This leads to a coupled quasilinear elliptic--hyperbolic system of evolution…

We classify those curvature-homogeneous Einstein four-manifolds, of all metric signatures, which have a complex-diagonalizable curvature operator. They all turn out to be locally homogeneous. More precisely, any such manifold must be either…

Quantum systems with real energies generated by an apparently non-Hermitian Hamiltonian may re-acquire the consistent probabilistic interpretation via an ad hoc metric which specifies the set of observables in the updated Hilbert space of…

Relative moduli spaces of periodic monopoles provide novel examples of Asymptotically Locally Flat hyperkahler manifolds. By considering the interactions between well-separated periodic monopoles, we infer the asymptotic behavior of their…

We show that the Einstein equations in the vacuum are invariant under an $SO(2)$ duality symmetry which rotates the curvature 2-form into its tangent space Hodge dual. Akin to electric-magnetic duality in gauge theory, the duality operation…
