Unique Calabi-Yau metrics found on C^n.

The study examines conical Kähler-Einstein metrics on specific Fano manifolds and their behavior at the limit angle.

The study proves a Liouville theorem for certain asymptotically conical Calabi-Yau manifolds.

This is the first part in a two-part series on complete Calabi-Yau manifolds asymptotic to Riemannian cones at infinity. We begin by proving general existence and uniqueness results. The uniqueness part relaxes the decay condition $O(r^{-n-ε})$ needed in earlier work to $O(r^{-ε})$, relying on some new ideas about harm…

In a recent preprint, Chi Li proved that aymptotically conical complex manifolds with regular tangent cone at infinity admit holomorphic compactifications (his result easily extends to the quasiregular case). In this short note, we show that if the open manifold is Calabi-Yau, then Chi Li's compactification is projecti…

Stenzel's metrics can't be projectively induced in complex projective space.

Study Spin(7) instantons and HYM connections on Stenzel metric.

We construct the first nontrivial examples of Calabi-Yau monopoles. Our main interest on these, comes from Donaldson and Segal's suggestion \cite{Donaldson2009} that it may be possible to define an invariant of certain noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds from these gauge theoretical equations. We focus on the Stenzel metri…

Researchers describe invariant Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on tangent bundles of symmetric spaces.

The paper describes Calabi-Yau structures and special Lagrangian submanifolds in complexified symmetric spaces.

We construct a family of Lagrangian submanifolds in the complex sphere with a SO(n)-invariance property. Among them we find those which are special Lagrangian with respect with the Calabi-Yau structure defined by the Stenzel metric.

For an arbitrary submanifold $M \subset \mathbb{C}P^n$ we determine conditions under which it is austere, i.e., the normal bundle of $M$ is special Lagrangian with respect to Stenzel's Ricci-flat Kähler metric on $T\mathbb{C}P^n$. We also classify austere surfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^n$.

We construct examples of cohomogeneity one special Lagrangian submanifolds in the cotangent bundle over the complex projective space, whose Calabi-Yau structure was given by Stenzel. For each example, we describe the condition of special Lagrangian as an ordinary differential equation. Our method is based on a moment m…

We present three families of exact, cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics in $(2n+2)$ dimensions, which are generalizations of the Stenzel construction of Ricci-flat metrics to those with a positive cosmological constant. The first family of solutions are Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective spaces $CP^{n+1}$, w…

We show that two of the Bryant-Salamon G_2-manifolds have a simple topology ; homeomorphic to the complement of some submanifolds of the 7-dimensional sphere. In this connection, we show there exists a complete Ricci-flat (non-flat) metric on the complement of an m-dimensional sphere in an n-dimensional sphere for some…

Method constructs special Lagrangian submanifolds using symmetries.

We study the uniqueness of minimal submanifolds and the stability of the mean curvature flow in several well-known model spaces of manifolds of special holonomy. These include the Stenzel metric on the cotangent bundle of spheres, the Calabi metric on the cotangent bundle of complex projective spaces, and the Bryant--S…

In this paper, we give a new construction of the adapted complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the tangent bundle of a compact, real-analytic Riemannian manifold. Motivated by the "complexifier" approach of T. Thiemann as well as certain formulas of V. Guillemin and M. Stenzel, we obtain the polari…

We give a simple interpretation of the adapted complex structure of Lempert-Szoke and Guillemin-Stenzel: it is given by a polar decomposition of the complexified manifold. We then give a twistorial construction of an SO(3)-invariant hypercomplex structure on a neighbourhood of $X$ in $TTX$, where $X$ is a real-analytic…

We find a family of Kähler metrics invariantly defined on the radius $r_0>0$ tangent disk bundle ${{\cal T}_{M,r_0}}$ of any given real space-form $M$ or any of its quotients by discrete groups of isometries. Such metrics are complete in the non-negative curvature case and non-complete in the negative curvature case. I…

We define a nondegenerate Monge-Ampère structure on a 6-dimensional manifold as a pair $(Ω,ω)$, such that $Ω$ is a symplectic form and $ω$ is a 3-differential form which satisfies $ω\wedgeΩ=0$ and which is nondegenerate in the sense of Hitchin. We associate with such a pair a generalized almost (pseudo) Calabi-Yau stru…

We define a non-degenerated Monge-Ampere structure on a 6-manifold associated with a Monge-Ampere equation as a couple (Ω,ω), such that Ωis a symplectic form and ωis a 3-differential form which satisfies ω\wedgeΩ=0 and which is non-degenerated in the sense of Hitchin. We associate with such a couple an almost (pseudo) …

Paper shows examples of hyperbolic cone structures degenerating with decreasing cone angles.

Unique cylindrical tangent cone for Simons' hypersurface found.

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…

Given a closed orientable Euclidean cone 3-manifold C with cone angles less than or equal to pi, and which is not almost product, we describe the space of constant curvature cone structures on C with cone angles less than pi. We establish a regeneration result for such Euclidean cone manifolds into spherical or hyperbo…

Study strict stability of cones with isolated singularities.

Weiss and, independently, Mazzeo and Montcouquiol recently proved that a 3--dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifold (possibly with vertices) with all cone angles less than $2π$ is infinitesimally rigid. On the other hand, Casson provided 1998 an example of an infinitesimally flexible cone-manifold with some of the cone an…

The study finds billiard trajectories with infinitely many reflections in certain cones.

The SCMU algorithm computes cone factorizations for symmetric cones, improving upon existing methods.

We describe some properties of noncompact Euclidean cone manifolds with cone angles less than c less than 2pi and singular locus a submanifold. More precisely, we describe its structure outside a compact set. As a corollary we classify those with cone angles less than 3pi/2 and those with all cone angles equal to 3pi/2…

We prove that every closed oriented 3-manifold admits a hyperbolic cone-manifold structure with cone-angle arbitrarily close to 2pi.

The study of limit cones for multi-Fuchsian representations in $(\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbf{R})^d$.

We prove 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds are geometrically inflexible: a cone-deformation of a hyperbolic cone-manifold determines a bi-Lipschitz diffeomorphism between initial and terminal manifolds in the deformation in the complement of a standard tubular neighborhood of the cone-locus whose pointwise bi-Lip…

We investigate subgroups of SL (n,Z) which preserve an open nondegenerate convex cone in real n-space and admit in that cone as fundamental domain a polyhedral cone of which some faces are allowed to lie on the boundary. Examples are arithmetic groups acting on selfdual cones, Weyl groups of certain Kac-Moody algebras …

Given a geometrically finite hyperbolic cone-manifold, with the cone singularity sufficiently short, we construct a one parameter family of cone-manifolds decreasing the cone angle to zero. We also control the geometry of this one parameter family via the Schwarzian derivative of the projective boundary and the length …

By a classical theorem of Gallot (1979), a Riemannian cone over a complete Riemannian manifold is either flat or has irreducible holonomy. We consider metric cones with reducible holonomy over pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. First we describe the local structure of the base of the cone when the holonomy of the cone is dec…

Analytic sets with unique infinite tangent cone are algebraic.

Researchers prove uniqueness of certain cylindrical tangent cones for special Lagrangians.

We study special Lagrangian cones in $\C^n$ with isolated singularities. Our main result constructs an infinite family of special Lagrangian cones in $\C^3$ each of which has a toroidal link. We obtain a detailed geometric description of these tori. We prove a regularity result for special Lagrangian cones in $\C^3$ wi…
