We establish a link between rational homotopy theory and the problem which vector bundles admit complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative sectional curvature. As an application, we show for a large class of simply-connected nonnegatively…
We introduce higher order variants of the Yang-Mills functional that involve $(n-2)$th order derivatives of the curvature. We prove coercivity and smoothness of critical points in Uhlenbeck gauge in dimensions $\mathrm{dim}M\le 2n$. These…
We prove a conjecture by F. Ferrari. Let X be the total space of a nonlinear deformation of a rank 2 holomorphic vector bundle on a smooth rational curve, such that X has trivial canonical bundle and has sections. Then the normal bundle to…
This article has two purposes. In \cite{R3} (math.KT/0405211) we showed that the FIC (Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for pseudoisotopy functor) for a particular class of 3-manifolds (we denoted this class by \cal C) is the key to prove the…
Let $S \subset \mathbb P^3$ be a very general sextic surface over complex numbers. Let $\mathcal{M}(H, c_2)$ be the moduli space of rank $2$ stable bundles on $S$ with fixed first Chern class $H$ and second Chern class $c_2$. In this…
In this note we show that every (real or complex) vector bundle over a compact rank one symmetric space carries, after taking the Whitney sum with a trivial bundle of sufficiently large rank, a metric with nonnegative sectional curvature.…
Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$…
We calculate curvature tensors of metrics on the total spaces of holomorphic fibrations. Our main tool is a theory of Chern connections and curvature forms for possibly degenerate Hermitian forms on holomorphic vector bundles. We prove a…
Let $M(d,\chi)$ be the moduli space of semistable 1-dimensional sheaves supported at curves of degree $d$ on $\mathbb{P}^2$, with Euler characteristic $\chi$. We have the Hilbert-Chow morphism $\pi: M(d,\chi)\rightarrow |dH|$ sending each…
Given a simply connected manifold $M$, we completely determine which rational monomial Pontryagin numbers are attained by fiber homotopy trivial $M$-bundles over the $k$-sphere, provided that $k$ is small compared to the dimension of $M$.…
We show that if $E$ is an ample vector bundle of rank at least two with some curvature bound on $O_{P(E^*)}(1)$, then $E^*\otimes \det E$ is Kobayashi positive. The proof relies on comparing the curvature of $(\det E^*)^k$ and $S^kE$ for…
We study the geometry of the tangent bundle equipped with a two-parameter family of Riemannian metrics. After deriving the expression of the Levi-Civita connection, we compute the Riemann curvature tensor and the sectional, Ricci and scalar…
A connected Riemannian manifold M has constant vector curvature \epsilon, denoted by cvc(\epsilon), if every tangent vector v in TM lies in a 2-plane with sectional curvature \epsilon. By scaling the metric on M, we can always assume that…
We prove a criterion stating when a line bundle on a smooth coisotropic subvariety Y of a smooth variety X with an algebraic Poisson structure, admits a first order deformation quantization.
We give a geometric obstruction to the non-negativity of the sectional curvature in the total spaces of certain Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers; applications of this obstruction to several examples are given.
The Peterson-Thom conjecture asserts that any diffuse, amenable subalgebra of a free group factor is contained in a unique maximal amenable subalgebra. This conjecture is motivated by related results in Popa's deformation/rigidity theory…
We prove that the class of principal coactions is closed under one-surjective pullbacks in an appropriate category of algebras equipped with left and right coactions. This allows us to handle cases of C*-algebras lacking two different…
Motivated by the solution of the aspherical conjecture up to dimension 5 [CL20][Gro20], we want to study a relative version of the aspherical conjecture. We present a natural condition generalizing the model $X\times\mathbb{T}^k$ to the…
Consider a complex line bundle over a compact complex manifold equipped with an infinitely differentiable metric with strictly positive curvature form. Assign to positive tensor powers of this bundle the associated product metrics and…
This paper contributes to the classification of positive scalar curvature metrics up to bordism and up to concordance. Let $M$ be a closed spin manifold of dimension $\ge 5$ which admits a metric with positive scalar curvature. We give…
