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…

Study on how incomplete smooth metrics degenerate from asymptotically conical Ricci-flat Kähler metrics.

New metrics found on non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds.

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…

Proves orbifold singularities for Ricci-flat metrics on certain Kähler varieties.

Let N_0 = C^2/H be an isolated quotient singularity with H in U (2) a finite subgroup. We show that for any Q-Gorenstein smoothings of N_0 a nearby fiber admits ALE Ricci-flat Kahler metrics in any Kahler class. Moreover, we generalize Kronheimer's results on hyperkahler 4-manifolds, by giving an explicit classificatio…

We investigate the Kahler-Ricci flow on holomorphic fiber spaces whose generic fiber is a Calabi-Yau manifold. We establish uniform metric convergence to a metric on the base, away from the singular fibers, and show that the rescaled metrics on the fibers converge to Ricci-flat Kahler metrics. This strengthens previous…

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. …

This work shows all conformally Kähler, Ricci-flat toric metrics on non-compact surfaces are known families.

We study the behaviour of families of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a projective Calabi-Yau manifold when the Kahler classes degenerate to the boundary of the ample cone. We prove that if the limit class is big and nef the Ricci-flat metrics converge smoothly on compact sets outside a subvariety to a limit incomplete Ri…

In this note, we obtain existence results for complete Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on crepant resolutions of singularities of Calabi-Yau varieties. Furthermore, for certain asymptotically flat Calabi-Yau varieties, we show that the Ricci-flat metric on the resolved manifold has the same asymptotic behavior as the initial…

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…

Bismut Einstein metrics on complex manifolds are Kähler Einstein or Bismut Ricci flat.

We study a class of asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat Kähler metrics arising on quasiprojective manifolds. Using the Calabi--Yau geometry and analysis and the Kodaira--Kuranishi--Spencer theory and building up on results of N.Koiso for the case of compact manifolds, we show that under rather general hypotheses any …

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.

Study shows Kähler-Einstein metric singularities linked to curvature.

We give a description of all $G$-invariant Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on the canonical complexification of any compact Riemannian symmetric space $G/K$ of arbitrary rank, by using some special local $(1,0)$ vector fields on $T(G/K)$. As the simplest application, we obtain the explicit description of the set of all compl…

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

Tian and Yau constructed a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric on the complement of an ample and smooth anticanonical divisor. We inquire into the behaviour of this metric towards the boundary divisor and prove a slow decay rate of the difference to an appropriate explicitely given referential metric.

In this paper, we study the geometry of compact complex manifolds with Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics and prove that compact complex surfaces admitting Levi-Civita Ricci-flat metrics are Kahler Calabi-Yau surfaces or Hopf surfaces.

We construct Ricci flat Kahler metrics with cone singularities along a complex hypersurface. This construction is inspired in part by R. Mazzeo's program in the case of negative Einstein constant, and uses the linear theory developed recently by S. Donaldson.

We obtain Ricci flat Kähler metrics on complex symmetric spaces of rank two by using an explicit asymptotic model whose geometry at infinity is interpreted in the wonderful compactification of the symmetric space. We recover the metrics of Biquard-Gauduchon in the Hermitian case and obtain in addition several new metri…

Sharp diameter bounds for Calabi-Yau degenerations proved.

Four dimensional simply connected Lie groups admitting a pseudo Kähler metric are determined. The corresponding Lie algebras are modelized and the compatible pairs $(J,ω)$ are parametrized up to complex isomorphism (where $J$ is a complex structure and $ω$ is a symplectic structure). Such structure gives rise to a pseu…

We consider an extension of the results of S. Bando, R. Kobyashi, G. Tian, and S. T. Yau on the existence of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on quasi-projective varieties Y=X\D with α[D]=c_1(X), α>1. The requirement that D admit a Kähler-Einstein metric is generalized to the condition that the link S in the normal bundle of …

We study adiabatic limits of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a Calabi-Yau manifold which is the total space of a holomorphic fibration when the volume of the fibers goes to zero. By establishing some new a priori estimates for the relevant complex Monge-Ampere equation, we show that the Ricci-flat metrics collapse (away f…

In this paper, we study the behavior of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds under algebraic geometric surgeries: extremal transitions or flops. We prove a version of Candelas and de la Ossa's conjecture: Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau manifolds related by extremal transitions and flops can be connected by a path c…

Constructs Ricci-flat K3 metrics using D-geometry.

We study several questions involving relative Ricci-flat Kähler metrics for families of log Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our main result states that if $p:(X,B)\to Y$ is a Kähler fiber space such that $\displaystyle (X_y, B|_{X_y})$ is generically klt, $K_{X/Y}+B$ is relatively trivial and $p_*(m(K_{X/Y}+B))$ is Hermitian fla…
