We introduce the notion of a hamiltonian 2-form on a Kaehler manifold and obtain a complete local classification. This notion appears to play a pivotal role in several aspects of Kaehler geometry. In particular, on any Kaehler manifold with…
The problem of classification of cubic homogeneous Finslerian 3D metrics with respect to their isometries is considered. It is shown, that there are 6 different general affine types of such metrics. Algebras of isometries are presented in…
The degree of mobility of a (pseudo-Riemannian) K\"ahler metric is the dimension of the space of metrics h-projectively equivalent to it. We prove that a metric on a closed connected manifold can not have the degree of mobility $\ge 3$…
A new metric on the open 2-dimensional unit disk is defined making it a geodesically complete metric space whose geodesic lines are precisely the Euclidean straight lines. Moreover, it is shown that the unit disk with this new metric is not…
The goal of this paper is to introduce and study analogues of the Euclidean Funk and Hilbert metrics on open convex subsets $\Omega$ of hyperbolic or spherical spaces. At least at a formal level, there are striking similarities among the…
By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…
We prove that a 2n-dimensional compact homogeneous nearly Kahler manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature is isometric to CP^{n}, equipped with the symmetric Fubini-Study metric or with the standard Sp(m)-homogeneous metric, n…
An extra large metric is a spherical cone metric with all cone angles greater than 2 pi and every closed geodesic longer than 2pi. We show that every two-dimensional extra large metric can be triangulated with vertices at cone points only.…
Given a semi-Riemannian $4$-manifold $(M,g)$ with two distinguished vector fields satisfying properties determined by their shear, twist and various Lie bracket relations, a family of K\"ahler metrics $g_K$ is constructed, defined on an…
The current paper deals with some new classes of Finsler metrics with reversible geodesics. We construct weighted quasi-metrics associated with these metrics. Further, we investigate some important geometric properties of weighted…
The aim of this note is to describe the geometry of $\mathbb{C}^2$ equipped with a K\"{a}hler metric defined by Warren. It is shown that with that metric $\mathbb{C}^2$ is a flat manifold. Explicit formulae for geodesics and volume of…
After a review of the general properties of holomorphic spheres in complex surfaces we describe the local geometry in the vicinity of a CP^1 embedded with a negative normal bundle. As a by-product, we build (asymptotically locally…
We prove a functional identity between the Hilbert metric and the visual angle metric in the unit disk. The proof utilizes the Poincar\'e hyperbolic metric in terms of which both metrics can be expressed. This identity then yields sharp…
The group SU(2)*SU(2) acts naturally on SL(2,C) by simultaneous right and left multiplication. We study the Kahler metrics invariant under this action using global Kahler potentials. The volume growth and various curvature quantities are…
Given any closed Kaehler manifold we define, following an idea by Eugenio Calabi, a Riemannian metric on the space of Kaehler metrics regarded as an infinite dimensional manifold. We prove several geometrical features of the resulting…
The Mahler measure of a function on the real d-torus is its geometric mean over the torus. It appears in number theory, ergodic theory and other fields. The Fuglede-Kadison determinant is defined in the context of von Neumann algebra theory…
This article describes an entirely algebraic construction for developing conformal geometries, which provide models for, among others, the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries. On one hand, their relationship is usually shown…
In these notes, after an introduction to toric Kahler geometry, we present Calabi's family of U(n)-invariant extremal Kahler metrics in symplectic action-angle coordinates and show that it actually contains, as particular cases, many…
We characterise hyperbolic groups in terms of quasigeodesics in the Cayley graph forming regular languages. We also obtain a quantitative characterisation of hyperbolicity of geodesic metric spaces by the non-existence of certain local…
Minimal isometric immersions F in codimension two from a complete Kahler manifold into Euclidean space had been classified for dimension greater than or equal to 3. In this note we describe the non--minimal situation by showing that, if F…
