Vaisman's theorem for locally conformally K\"ahler (lcK) compact manifolds states that any lcK metric on a compact complex manifold which admits a K\"ahler metric is, in fact, globally conformally K\"ahler (gcK). In this paper, we extend…

The notion of weighted extremal K\"ahler metrics extends the classical notion of Calabi's extremal K\"ahler metrics, but includes many well-studied objects in K\"ahler geometry such as K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and Sasaki-Einstein metrics. In…

Under some suitable assumptions Riemannian manifolds $(M, g, H)$ that admit a connection $\hat\nabla$ with torsion a 3-form $H$, which is both closed $d H=0$ and $\hat\nabla$-covariantly constant, are locally isometric to a product $N\times…

A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold is called SKT (strong K\"ahler with torsion) if the Bismut torsion $3$-form $H$ is closed. As the conformal generalization of the SKT condition, we introduce a new type of Hermitian structure, called…

In this paper, we study the properties of coverings of locally conformally K\"ahler (LCK) spaces with singularities. We begin by proving that a space is LCK if any only if its universal cover is K\"ahler, thereby generalizing a result from…

The mobility of a Kaehler metric is the dimension of the space of metrics with which it is c-projectively equivalent. The mobility is at least two if and only if the Kaehler metric admits a nontrivial hamiltonian 2-form. After summarizing…
