We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…
We give a general procedure for gluing together possibly noncompact manifolds of constant scalar curvature which satisfy an extra nondegeneracy hypothesis. Our aim is to provide a simple paradigm for making `analytic' connected sums. In…
As first noted in Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon ("KKS"), constant mean curvature implies a homological conservation law for hypersurfaces in ambient spaces with Killing fields.In Theorem 3.5 here, we generalize that law by relaxing the…
In this paper, we consider a compact Kahler manifold with extremal Kahler metric and a Mumford stable holomorphic bundle over it. We proved that, if the holomorphic vector field defining the extremal Kahler metric is liftable to the bundle…
We study the J-flow on Kahler surfaces when the Kahler class lies on the boundary of the open cone for which global smooth convergence holds, and satisfies a nonnegativity condition. We obtain a C^0 estimate and show that the J-flow…
We obtain compact orientable embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0<H<\frac{1}{2}$ and arbitrary genus in $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. These surfaces have dihedral symmetry and desingularize a pair of spheres with mean…
We give examples of smooth surfaces with negative first Chern class which are slope unstable with respect to certain polarisations, and so have Kahler classes that do not admit any constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics. We also compare…
We study adiabatic limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a Calabi-Yau manifold which is the total space of a holomorphic fibration when the volume of the fibers goes to zero. By establishing some new a priori estimates for the relevant…
We consider conformal deformations within a class of incomplete Riemannian metrics which generalize conic orbifold singularities by allowing both warping and any compact manifold (not just quotients of the sphere) to be the "link" of the…
This paper presents two results in the realm of conformal Kaehler submanifolds. These are conformal immersions of Kaehler manifolds into the standard flat Euclidean space. The proofs are obtained by making a rather strong use of several…
A discrete conformality for polyhedral metrics on surfaces is introduced in this paper which generalizes earlier work on the subject. It is shown that each polyhedral metric on a surface is discrete conformal to a constant curvature…
Given a compact four dimensional manifold, we prove existence of conformal metrics with constant $Q$-curvature under generic assumptions. The problem amounts to solving a fourth-order nonlinear elliptic equation with variational structure.…
In this short paper, we study a symmetric covariant tensor in Finsler geometry, which is called the mean Berwald curvature. We first investigate the geometry of the fibres as the submanifolds of the tangent sphere bundle on a Finsler…
For any elliptic K3 surface $\mathfrak{F}: \mathcal{K} \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$, we construct a family of collapsing Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics such that curvatures are uniformly bounded away from singular fibers, and which…
An introduction is provided to some current research trends in stability in geometric invariant theory and the problem of Kaehler metrics of constant scalar curvature. Besides classical notions such as Chow-Mumford stability, the emphasis…
For a closed smooth manifold $M$ admitting a symplectic structure, we define a smooth topological invariant $Z(M)$ using almost-K\"ahler metrics, i.e. Riemannian metrics compatible with symplectic structures. We also introduce $Z(M,…
The distance of an almost constant mean curvature boundary from a finite family of disjoint tangent balls with equal radii is quantitatively controlled in terms of the oscillation of the scalar mean curvature. This result allows one to…
The properties of Kaehler submanifolds with recurrent the second fundamental form in spaces of constant holomorphic sectional curvature are being studied in this article.
The scalars in vector multiplets of N=2 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimensions exhibit `special Kaehler geometry', related to duality symmetries, due to their coupling to the vectors. In the literature there is some confusion on the…
It is proved that if an almost K\"ahler manifold of dimension greater or equal to 8 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then it is a complex space form.
