Kähler cones over Sasakian manifolds are flat if projectively induced.

In this paper, we consider a natural map from the Kahler cone to the balanced cone of a Kahler manifold. We study its injectivity and surjecticity. We also give an analytic characterization theorem on a nef class being Kahler.

This is a continuation of the previous articles on Kahler cone metrics. In this article, we introduce weighted function spaces and provide a self-contained treatment on cone angles in the whole interval $(0,1]$. We first construct geodesics in the space of Kahler cone metrics (cone geodesics). We next determine the ver…

Unique soliton found on resolved cones.

The paper describes geodesics on a Kähler cone of the Heisenberg group.

We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those generalised Kahler cones which are Bochner-flat and we study their local geometry. We prov…

Introduces new deformation classes in generalized Kähler geometry.

The paper proves conditions for existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics with cone singularities.

We extend Calabi ansatz over Kähler-Einstein manifolds to Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. As an application we prove the existence of a complete scalar-flat Kähler metric on Kähler cone manifolds over Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. In particular there exists a complete scalar-flat Kähler metric on the toric Kähler cone manifold…

The Kähler cone of a compact manifold carries a natural Riemannian metric, given by the intersection product of its cohomology ring. We write down the curvature tensor of this metric by embedding the Kähler cone in the space of hermitian metrics on the underlying manifold. After discussing weak functorality and complet…

Hyperkahler manifolds with round Kahler cones have unique bimeromorphic models.

New example of non-Kähler soliton with Kähler-like behavior at infinity.

In this paper, we prove Matsushima's theorem for Kähler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold with cone singularities along a smooth divisor that is not necessarily proportional to the anti-canonical class. We then give an alternative proof of uniqueness of Kähler-Einstein cone metrics by the continuity method. Moreover,…

New insights into Kähler Ricci solitons and Calabi-Yau cones.

We prove that a crepant resolution of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in H^2_c(Y,R). This result contains as a subcase the existence of ALE Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on crepant resolutions of X=C^n /G, where G is a finite subgroup…

Kähler-Ricci flows' tangent cones are algebraic varieties.

We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which is asymptotic to a Kähler cone along some end is itself Kähler on some neighborhood of infinity of that end. When the shrinker is complete, it is globally Kähler.

We construct and classify, in the case of two complex dimensions, the possible tangent cones at points of limit spaces of non-collapsed sequences of Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities.

Optimal family of Calabi-Yau cone metrics found for toric Kähler cones.

In the same way that a contact manifold determines and is determined by a symplectic cone, a Sasaki manifold determines and is determined by a suitable Kahler cone. Kahler-Sasaki geometry is the geometry of these cones. This paper presents a symplectic action-angle coordinates approach to toric Kahler geometry and how …

We develop some foundations for the study of Kahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities transverse to a divisor. The main goal is a treatment of the deformation of the cone angle.

Projective varieties remain stable under close polarizations, extending to Kähler cones.

We prove an existence theorem for Asymptotically Conical Ricci Flat Kahler metrics in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with cone singularities along a smooth complex curve. These metrics are expected to arise as blow up limits of non collapsed sequences of Kahler Einstein metrics with cone singularities.

Tian initiated the study of incomplete Kähler-Einstein metrics on quasi-projective varieties with cone-edge type singularities along a divisor, described by the cone-angle $2π(1-α)$ for $α\in (0, 1)$. In this paper we study how the existence of such Kähler-Einstein metrics depends on $α$. We show that in the negative s…

In the present paper we prove that, on a hyperkähler manifold, walls of the kähler cone and extremal rays of the Mori cone are determined by all divisors satisfying certain numerical conditions.

We prove the existence of non-positively curved Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities along a given simple normal crossing divisor on a compact Kähler manifold, under a technical condition on the cone angles, and we also discuss the case of positively-curved Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities. As…

Under the action of the c-map, special Kahler manifolds are mapped into a class of quaternion-Kahler spaces. We explicitly construct the corresponding Swann bundle or hyperkahler cone, and determine the hyperkahler potential in terms of the prepotential of the special Kahler geometry.

Study shows flow convergence to smooth K-Ricci outside a divisor with cusp singularity.

Extremal metrics lead to scalar-flat Kähler cones.

We shall construct a natural Higgs bundle structure on the complexified Kähler cone of a compact Kähler manifold, which can be seen as an analogy of the classical Higgs bundle structure associated to a variation of Hodge structure. In the proof of the flat-ness of our Higgs bundle, we find a commutator identity that ca…

Using methods of A. Grigor'yan and L. Saloff-Coste we prove that on a manifold with a conical end the heat kernel has a Gaussian bound. This result is applied to asymptotically conical Kähler manifolds. It is a result of the author and R. Goto that a crepant resolution of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone admits a Ricci-flat Kä…

The author has proved that a crepant resolution Y of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in H^2_c(Y,\R). These manifolds are generalizations of the Ricci-flat ALE Kähler spaces known by the work of P. Kronheimer, D. Joyce and others. …

Study on Kähler-Einstein metrics with polynomial convergence rates.

We use the momentum construction of Calabi to study the conical Kähler-Ricci flow on Hirzebruch surfaces with cone angle along the exceptional curve, and show that either the flow Gromov-Hausdorff converges to the Riemann sphere or a single point in finite time, or the flow contracts the cone divisor to a single point …

We show that the existence of constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics with cone singularities is equivalent to the properness of log $K$-energy. We also prove their equivalence to the geodesic stability. They are extensions of the solution of the properness conjecture and Donaldson's geodesic stability conjectu…

Exposes new connections between weighted Kähler-Ricci solitons and Ricci-flat Kähler cone metrics.

Classifies totally geodesic submanifolds in specific geometric spaces.

Let $X$ be the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of pointed complete Kähler manifolds $(M^n_i, p_i)$ satisfying $Ric(M_i)\geq -(n-1)$ and the volume is noncollapsed. We prove that, there exists a Lie group isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}$, acting isometrically, on the tangent cone at each point of $X$. Moreover, the actio…

Let $D$ be a smooth divisor in a compact complex manifold $X$ and let $β\in (0,1)$. We show that in any positive co-homology class on $X$ there is a Kähler metric with cone angle $2πβ$ along $D$ which has bounded Ricci curvature. We use this result together with the Aubin-Yau continuity method to give an alternative pr…

Paper approximates Kähler metrics with cone singularities near a hypersurface.

Motivated by the results of Wu-Yau-Zheng \cite{WuYauZheng}, we show that under a certain curvature assumption the harmonic representative of any boundary class of the Kähler cone is nonnegative.

The continuity method is used to deform the cone angle of a weak conical Kähler-Einstein metric with cone singularities along a smooth anti-canonical divisor on a smooth Fano manifold. This leads to an alternative proof of Donaldson's Openness Theorem on deforming cone angle \cite{Don} by combining it with the regulari…

We present explicit constructions of complete Ricci-flat Kahler metrics that are asymptotic to cones over non-regular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. The metrics are constructed from a complete Kahler-Einstein manifold (V,g_V) of positive Ricci curvature and admit a Hamiltonian two-form of order two. We obtain Ricci-flat Ka…
