We bound the index of a subgroup in iterated Kodaira fibrations.

A Kodaira fibration is a compact, complex surface admitting a holomorphic submersion onto a complex curve, such that the fibers have nonconstant moduli. We consider Kodaira fibrations X with nontrivial invariant rational cohomology in degree 1, proving that if the dimension of the holomorphic invariants is 1 or 2, then…

Study extra-special quotients of surface braid groups and construct double Kodaira fibrations.

Study of section conjecture analogues over complex numbers and Kodaira fibrations.

The fundamental group $π$ of a Kodaira fibration is, by definition, the extension of a surface group $Π_b$ by another surface group $Π_g$, i.e. \[ 1 \rightarrow Π_g \rightarrow π\rightarrow Π_b \rightarrow 1. \] Conversely, we can inquire about what conditions need to be satisfied by a group of that sort in order to be…

Study groups of order 64 and non-homeomorphic double Kodaira fibrations with same invariants.

New groups from surface braids help create complex geometric shapes.

We construct classes of Kähler groups that do not have finite classifying spaces and are not commensurable to subdirect products of surface groups. Each of these groups is the fundamental group of the generic fibre of a holomorphic map from a product of Kodaira fibrations onto an elliptic curve.

Kodaira fibrations are surfaces of general type with a non-isotrivial fibration, which are differentiable fibre bundles. They are known to have positive signature divisible by $4$. Examples are known only with signature 16 and more. We review approaches to construct examples of low signature which admit two independent…

Study Kodaira dimensions on almost complex manifolds, proving integrability and structural descriptions.

Given a (meromorphic) fibration $f:X\to Y$ where $X$ and $Y$ are compact complex manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $m$, we define $L_f$ to be the invertible subsheaf of the sheaf of holomorphic $m$-forms of $X$ given by the saturation of $f^*K_Y$, where $K_Y$ is the canonical sheaf of $Y$. We define the Kodaira dimension…

We exhibit new examples of double Kodaira fibrations by using finite Galois covers of a product $Σ_b \times Σ_b$, where $Σ_b$ is a smooth projective curve of genus $b \geq 2$. Each cover is obtained by providing an explicit group epimorphism from the pure braid group $\mathsf{P}_2(Σ_b)$ to some finite Heisenberg group.…

Researchers create a projective space for quasimaps and study its connections to Calabi-Yau fibrations.

We study several geometric and group theoretical problems related to Kodaira fibrations, to more general families of Riemann surfaces, and to surface-by-surface groups. First we provide constraints on Kodaira fibrations that fiber in more than two distinct ways, addressing a question by Catanese and Salter about their …

The Kähler-Ricci flow on certain manifolds collapses to a canonical metric.

A question of Griffiths-Schmid asks when the monodromy group of an algebraic family of complex varieties is arithmetic. We resolve this in the affirmative for the class of algebraic surfaces known as Atiyah-Kodaira manifolds, which have base and fibers equal to complete algebraic curves. Our methods are topological in …

Being inspired by Ross' construction of unstable products of certain smooth curves, we show that the product $C\times C$ of every smooth curve $C$ of genus at least 2 is not slope semistable with respect to certain polarisations. Besides, we produce examples of Kodaira-fibred surfaces of nonzero signature, which are no…

In this paper, we consider Kahler-Ricci flow on n-dimensional Kahler manifold with semi-ample canonical line bundle and 0< m:= Kod(X)<n. Such manifolds admit a Calabi-Yau fibration over its canonical model. We prove that the scalar curvature of the Kahler metric along the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow converge to -m out…

In this article we obtain a result about the uniqueness of factorization in terms of conjugates of the matrix $U=(\xymatrix{1 & 1 0 & 1})$, of some matrices representing the conjugacy classes of those elements of $SL(2,Z)$ arising as the monodromy around a singular fiber in an elliptic fibration (i.e. those matrices th…

On a compact Kähler manifold with semi-ample canonical line bundle and Kodaira dimension one, we observe a relation between the infinite-time singularity type of the Kähler-Ricci flow and the characteristic indexes of singular fibers of the semi-ample fibration.

Study singular fibers in genus 2 algebraic fibrations and their monodromy factorizations.

The Kodaira--Thurston M manifold is a compact, 4-dimensional nilmanifold which is symplectic and complex but not Kaehler. We describe a construction of theta-functions associated to M which parallels the classical theory of theta-functions associated to the torus (from the point of view of representation theory and geo…

New classification for Vaisman manifolds with specific properties.

The paper classifies minimal projective varieties satisfying a specific equality.

It is conjectured that the moduli b-divisor of the Kawamata-Kodaira canonical bundle formula associated to a klt-trivial fibration $(X,B)\to Z$ is semi-ample. In this paper, we show the semi-ampleness of an arbitrarily small perturbation of the moduli b-divisor by a fixed appropriate divisor which roughly speaking come…

Study curvature of direct image bundles in deformations of maps.

We give a self contained proof using Seiberg Witten invariants that for Kähler surfaces with non negative Kodaira dimension (including those with $p_g = 0$) the canonical class of the minimal model and the $(-1)$-curves, are oriented diffeomorphism invariants up to sign. This implies that the Kodaira dimension is deter…

In this article we construct a family of genus two Lefschetz fibrations $f_{n}: X_{θ_n} \rightarrow \mathbb{S}^{2}$ with $e(X_{θ_n})=11$, $b^{+}_{2}(X_{θ_n})=1$, and $c_1^{2}(X_{θ_n})=1$ by applying a single lantern substitution to the twisted fiber sums of Matsumoto's genus two Lefschetz fibration over $\mathbb{S}^2$.…

We prove uniform sup-norm estimates for the Monge-Ampere equation with respect to a family of Kahler metrics which degenerate towards a pull-back of a metric from a lower dimensional manifold. This is then used to show the existence of generalized Kahler-Einstein metrics as the limits of the Kahler-Ricci flow for some …

We formulate a notion of stability for maps between polarised varieties which generalises Kontsevich's definition when the domain is a curve and Tian-Donaldson's definition of K-stability when the target is a point. We give some examples, such as Kodaira embeddings and fibrations. We prove the existence of a projective…

Defines and classifies Thurston geometries and connects simplicial volume to Kodaira dimension.

Extends Kodaira Spencer to higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Let $M= G/Γ$ be a compact nilmanifold endowed with an invariant complex structure. We prove that, on an open set of any connected component of the moduli space ${\cal C} ({\frak g})$ of invariant complex structures on $M$, the Dolbeault cohomology of $M$ is isomorphic to the one of the differential bigraded algebra ass…

Proves Vaisman solvmanifolds are finite quotients of Kodaira-Thurston manifolds.

We study local, global and local-to-global properties of threefolds with certain singularities. We prove criteria for these threefolds to be rational homology manifolds and conditions for threefolds to satisfy rational Poincaré duality. We relate the topological Euler characteristic of elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds wi…

Automorphisms of Kodaira surfaces are shown to be affine transformations.

In this note we show that the Lagrangian Luttinger surgery preserves the symplectic Kodaira dimension. Some constraints on Lagrangian tori in symplectic four manifolds with non-positive Kodaira dimension are also derived.

Generalizes Kodaira vanishing theorem to Kahler Lie algebroids.

We define the Kodaira dimension for $3$-dimensional manifolds through Thurston's eight geometries, along with a classification in terms of this Kodaira dimension. We show this is compatible with other existing Kodaira dimensions and the partial order defined by non-zero degree maps. For higher dimensions, we explore th…

We study the existence of special Lagrangian submanifolds of log Calabi-Yau manifolds equipped with the complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric constructed by Tian-Yau. We prove that if $X$ is a Tian-Yau manifold, and if the compact Calabi-Yau manifold at infinty admits a single special Lagrangian, then $X$ admits infinitely…

The notion of Kodaira dimension has recently been extended to general almost complex manifolds. In this paper we focus on the Kodaira dimension of almost Kähler manifolds, providing an explicit computation for a family of almost Kähler threefolds on the differentiable manifold underlying a Nakamura manifold. We concent…

The paper explores Kodaira dimension on almost complex manifolds.

The paper uses non-abelian Hodge theory to generalize Kodaira vanishing theorems.

We define analogue of theta-functions on the Kodaira--Thurston manifold which is a compact 4-dimensional symplectic manifold and use them to construct canonical symplectic embedding of the Kodaira--Thurston manifold into the complex projective space (analogue of the Lefshetz theorem).
