Given a closed semi-algebraic set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and a continuous semi-algebraic mapping $G \colon X \to \mathbb{R}^m,$ it will be shown that there exists an open dense semi-algebraic subset $\mathscr{U}$ of $L(\mathbb{R}^n,…
For any Lagrangean K\"ahler submanifold $M \subset T^*{\Bbb C}^n$, there exists a canonical hyper K\"ahler metric on $T^*M$. A K\"ahler potential for this metric is given by the generalized Calabi Ansatz of the theoretical physicists…
We consider the geometry determined by a torsion-free affine connection whose holonomy lies in the subgroup U*(2m), a real form of GL(2m,C), otherwise denoted by SL(m,H).U(1). We show in particular how examples may be generated from…
In this note, we shall prove geodesic convexity of the space of K\"ahler potentials on an ALE K\"ahler manifold. This extends earlier results in the compact case proved in the fundamental work of X-X. Chen. We further prove the boundedness…
Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…
The (pseudo-)Riemann-metrizability and Ricci-flatness of Finsler spaces with $m$-Kropina metric $F = \alpha^{1+m}\beta^{-m}$ of Berwald type are investigated. We prove that the affine connection on $F$ can locally be understood as the…
We study statistical properties of zeros of random polynomials and random analytic functions associated with the pseudoeuclidean group of symmetries SU(1,1), by utilizing both analytical and numerical techniques. We first show that zeros of…
It is shown that a flat subgroup, $H$, of the totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ decomposes into a finite number of subsemigroups on which the scale function is multiplicative. The image, $P$, of a multiplicative semigroup in…
Given a (possibly non-K\"ahler) Calabi--Yau threefold $(X,\Omega)$, we introduce the notion of a (perturbed) special Lagrangian (SL) submanifold of $(X,\omega,\Omega)$, where $\omega$ is a Hermitian metric on $X$. The equations defining…
We study Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure which admit a symplectic form compatible with the complex structure. We prove that each of those Lie algebras is completely determined by a pair (U,H) where U is a complex…
We answer in the affirmative the question posed by Conti and Rossi on the existence of nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 7 with an Einstein pseudo-metric of nonzero scalar curvature. Indeed, we construct a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian…
In the present work the local form of certain Calabi-Yau metrics possessing a local Hamiltonian Killing vector is described in terms of a single non linear equation. The main assumptions are that the complex $(3,0)$-form is of the form…
Let $G$ be a simple compact connected Lie group. We study homogeneous Einstein metrics for a class of compact homogeneous spaces, namely generalized flag manifolds $G/H$ with second Betti number $b_{2}(G/H)=1$. There are 8 infinite families…
We present some formulae related to the Chern-Ricci curvatures and scalar curvatures of special Hermitian metrics. We prove that a compact locally conformal K\"{a}hler manifold with constant nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature is…

Suppose $G$ is a connected complex Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup such that $X := G/\Gamma$ is K\"ahler and the codimension of the top non--vanishing homology group of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ is less than or…
On an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$, a pluricanonical locally conformally almost K\"ahler (LCAK) metric $g$ is induced by a locally conformally symplectic structure $(F,\theta)$ of the first kind, characterized by the fact that $D\theta$…
Let G be a group of automorphisms of a compact K\"ahler manifold X of dimension n and N(G) the subset of null-entropy elements. Suppose G admits no non-abelian free subgroup. Improving the known Tits alternative, we obtain that, up to…
We obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on the compact Lie group $\SU(N)$ which are not naturally reductive. This is achieved by using the generalized flag manifold $G/K=\SU(k_1+\cdots +k_p)/\s(\U(k_1)\times\cdots\times\U(k_p))$ and by…
