In 1976, Milnor classified all Lie groups admitting a flat left-invariant metric. They form a special type of unimodular 2-step solvable groups. Considering Lie groups with Hermitian structure, namely, a left-invariant complex structure and…
Typical existence result on Ricci-flat metrics is in manifolds of finite geometry, that is, on $F=\bar F-D$ where $\bar F$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ is a smooth divisor. We view this existence problem from a different…
In this work, we describe the asymptotic behavior of complete metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature on open Kahler manifolds that can be compactified by the addition of a smooth and ample divisor. First, we construct a explicit sequence…
We produce solutions to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow emerging from complete initial metrics $g_0$ which are $C^0$ Hermitian limits of K\"ahler metrics. Of particular interest is when $g_0$ is K\"ahler with unbounded curvature. We provide such…
A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ is called {\em astheno-K\"ahler} if its fundamental $2$-form $F$ satisfies the condition $\partial \overline \partial F^{n - 2} =0$. If $n =3$, then the metric is {\em strong…
We investigate the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF) of left-invariant metrics on complex unimodular Lie groups. We show that in this setting the flow is governed by the Ricci-flow type equation $\partial_tg_{t}=-{\rm Ric}^{1,1} (g_t)$. The…
With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group $G$, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor $f$. In this article, we study the geometry of such…
Let $\pi : \mathcal X \to S$ be a local universal family of compact Ricci-flat K\"ahler manifolds over a smooth base $S$. The complexified K\"ahler cones of each fiber of the family form a holomorphic fiber bundle $\mathcal K \to S$. We…
We study issues pertaining to the Ricci-flatness of metrics on orbifolds resolved by D-branes. We find a K\"ahler metric on the three-dimensional orbifold $\C^3/\Z_3$, resolved by D-branes, following an approach due to Guillemin. This…
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…
In this paper, we provide new examples of Levi-Civita Ricci-flat Hermitian metrics on certain compact non-K\"{a}hler Calabi-Yau manifolds, including every compact Hermitian Weyl-Einstein manifold, every compact locally conformal…
In this survey, we consider various analytic problems related to the geometry of the Chern connection on Hermitian manifolds, such as the existence of metrics with constant Chern-scalar curvature, generalizations of the K\"ahler-Einstein…
We investigate the geometry of Hermitian manifolds endowed with a compact Lie group action by holomorphic isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. In particular, we focus on a special class of these manifolds constructed by…
A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold $(M, I)$ of complex dimension $n$ is called Calabi-Yau with torsion (CYT) or Bismut-Ricci flat, if the restricted holonomy of the associated Bismut connection is contained in ${\rm SU}(n)$ and it is…
It is shown that the first order (Palatini) variational principle for a generic nonlinear metric-affine Lagrangian depending on the (symmetrized) Ricci square invariant leads to an almost-product Einstein structure or to an almost-complex…
A smooth closed manifold $M$ is called almost Ricci-flat if $$\inf_g||\textrm{Ric}_g||_\infty\cdot \textrm{diam}_g(M)^2=0$$ where $\textrm{Ric}_g$ and $\textrm{diam}_g$ denote the Ricci tensor and the diameter of $g$ respectively and $g$…
We investigate degenerate special-Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds, in particular, degenerate K\"ahler and locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on special classes of non-K\"ahler manifolds.
We study the Ricci flow on complete Kaehler metrics that live on the complement of a divisor in a compact complex manifold. In earlier work, we considered finite-volume metrics which, at spatial infinity, are transversely hyperbolic. In…
We describe a rigidity phenomenon exhibited by the second Chern Ricci curvature of a Hermitian metric on a compact complex manifold. This yields a characterisation of second Chern Ricci-flat Hermitian metrics on several types of manifolds…
A conformal transformation of a semi-Riemannian manifold is essential if there is no conformally equivalent metric for which it is an isometry. For Riemannian manifolds the existence of an essential conformal transformation forces the…
