We discuss Cartan-Schouten metrics (Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian metrics that are parallel with respect to the Cartan-Schouten canonical connection) on perfect Lie groups. Applications are foreseen in Information Geometry. Throughout…
We prove that if the Carath\'eodory metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain with a smooth boundary is locally K\"{a}hler near the boundary, then the domain is biholomorphic to a ball. We also establish a local rigidity theorem for domains…
We obtain a conceptually new differential geometric proof of P.F. Klembeck's result that the holomorphic sectional curvature of a strictly pseudoconvex domain approaches (in the boundary limit) the constant sectional curvature of the…
We examine here the space of conformally compact metrics $g$ on the interior of a compact manifold with boundary which have the property that the $k^{th}$ elementary symmetric function of the Schouten tensor $A_g$ is constant. When $k=1$…
Let $L$ be a holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n,$ and let $e^{-\phi}$ be a continuous metric on $L.$ Fixing a measure $d\mu$ on $X$ gives a sequence of Hilbert spaces consisting of holomorphic sections…
The new manifestation of conformal invariance for a massless scalar particle in a Riemannian spacetime of general relativity is found. Conformal transformations conserve the Hamiltonian and wave function in the Foldy-Wouthuysen…
For even dimensional conformal manifolds several new conformally invariant objects were found recently: invariant differential complexes related to, but distinct from, the de Rham complex (these are elliptic in the case of Riemannian…
A Lagrangian submanifold in an almost Calabi-Yau manifold is called positive if the real part of the holomorphic volume form restricted to it is positive. An exact isotopy class of positive Lagrangian submanifolds admits a natural…
In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics called general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics, which are defined by a Riemannian metric and an 1-form. We construct some general (\alpha,\beta)-metrics with constant Ricci curvature.
We study homogeneous Einstein metrics on indecomposable non-K\"ahlerian C-spaces, i.e. even-dimensional torus bundles $M=G/H$ with $\mathsf{rank} G>\mathsf{rank} H$ over flag manifolds $F=G/K$ of a compact simple Lie group $G$. Based on the…
Numerical approximations to Ricci-flat Calabi--Yau metrics make it possible to move beyond the topological and holomorphic data that have traditionally dominated explicit string compactifications. This article explains what new physics and…
We show the existence of complete negative K\"ahler-Einstein metric on Stein manifolds with negatively pinched holomorphic sectional curvature. We prove that any K\"ahler metrics on such manifolds can be deformed to the complete negative…
We define a conformally invariant action S on gauge connections on a closed pseudo-Riemannian manifold M of dimension 6. At leading order this is quadratic in the gauge connection. The Euler-Lagrange equations of S, with respect to…
Let $V$ be a compact and irreducible complex space of complex dimension $v$ whose regular part is endowed with a complete Hermitian metric $h$. Let $\pi:M\rightarrow V$ be a resolution of $V$. Under suitable assumptions on $h$ we prove that…
In this paper, we first provide an updated survey of the geometry of complex Cartan spaces. New characterizations for some particular classes of complex Cartan spaces are pointed out, e.g. Landsberg-Cartan, strongly Berwald-Cartan and…
We extend Tsuji's iterative construction of complete K\"ahler--Einstein metrics with negative scalar curvature to noncompact K\"ahler manifolds with bounded geometry, using Berndtsson's method from the compact setting. Consequently, given a…
Without using the $L^2$ extension theorem, we provide a new proof of the equality part in Suita's conjecture, which states that for any open Riemann surface admitting a Green's function, the Bergman kernel and the logarithmic capacity…
In this paper we consider the Hilbert-Einstein-Dirac functional, whose critical points are pairs, metrics-spinors, that satisfy a system coupling the Riemannian and the spinorial part. Under some assumptions, on the sign of the scalar…
We consider the problem of finding complete conformal metrics with prescribed curvature functions of the Einstein tensor and of more general modified Schouten tensors. To achieve this, we reveal an algebraic structure of a wide class of…
We construct polynomial conformal invariants, the vanishing of which is necessary and sufficient for an $n$-dimensional suitably generic (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold to be conformal to an Einstein manifold. We also construct invariants…
