Continuous metrics on ample bundles lie in infinite-dimensional cones.

Let (X,D) be a klt pair. Assuming either K_X+D big or -(K_X+D) ample, and that the coefficients of D are greater than 1/2, we show that the Kähler-Einstein metric attached to (X,D) -whenever it exists- has cone singularities along D on the log-smooth locus of the pair intersected with the ample locus of K_X+D (in the n…

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 …

In the spirit of Sullivan's paper "Cycles for the Dynamical Study of Foliated Manifolds and Complex Manifolds", existence of a contact structure on a closed manifold $M$ is shown to be equivalent to existence of an ample $S^1$-invariant cone structure with no nontrivial exact structure cycles on the manifold $S^1 \time…

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

In this note, we prove that on a compact Kähler manifold $X$ carrying a smooth divisor $D$ such that $K_X+D$ is ample, the Kähler-Einstein cusp metric is the limit (in a strong sense) of the Kähler-Einstein conic metrics when the cone angle goes to $0$. We further investigate the boundary behavior of those and prove th…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperkahler manifold with maximal holonomy (IHS). The group $H^2(M, R)$ is equipped with a quadratic form of signature $(3, b_2-3)$, called Bogomolov-Beauville-Fujiki (BBF) form. This form restricted to the rational Hodge lattice $H^{1,1}(M,Q)$, has signature $(1,k)$. This gives a hyperbolic Rieman…

Study of line bundles on spherical varieties leads to Calabi-Yau metrics.

Let X be a Kähler manifold and D be a R-divisor with simple normal crossing support and coefficients between 1/2 and 1. Assuming that K_X+D is ample, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a negatively curved Kahler-Einstein metric on X\D having mixed Poincaré and cone singularities according to the coefficients of D…

Let X be a complex projective variety and D a reduced divisor on X. Under a natural minimal condition on the singularities of the pair (X, D), which includes the case of smooth X with simple normal crossing D, we ask for geometric criteria guaranteeing various positivity conditions for the log-canonical divisor K_X+D. …

Hyperkahler manifolds with round Kahler cones have unique bimeromorphic models.

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…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective variety and $Δ$ a simple normal crossing $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor with coefficients in $(0,1]$. For any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-line bundle $L$ over $S$, we denote by $\mathscr{E}(L)$ the extension sheaf of the orbifold tangent sheaf $T_S(-\log(Δ))$ by the structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}_S$ with the …

We study the J-flow on Kahler surfaces when the Kahler class lies on the boundary of the open cone for which global smooth convergence holds, and satisfies a nonnegativity condition. We obtain a C^0 estimate and show that the J-flow converges smoothly to a singular Kahler metric away from a finite number of curves of n…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and $S\hookrightarrow X$ be an embedding of complex submanifold. Assuming that the embedding is $(k-1)$-linearizable or $(k-1)$-comfortably embedded, we construct via the deformation to the normal cone a diffeomorphism $F$ from a small neighborhood of the zero section in the normal bundle …

The paper studies Kähler-Einstein metrics with singularities and their limits.

A locally conformally Kahler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kahler covering M, such that its monodromy acts on this covering by homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is called LCK with potential if M admits an authomorphic Kahler potential. It is known that in this case it is an algebraic cone, that is,…

We prove that if a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety $V$ specially degenerates to a Kähler-Einstein $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety $V$, then for any ample Cartier divisor $H=-r^{-1} K_V$ with $r\in \mathbb{Q}_{>0}$, the normalized volume $\widehat{\rm vol}(v)=A_{\mathcal{C}}^n(v)\cdot {\rm vol}(v)$ is globally minimized at the cano…

Let $X$ be a complex projective variety with only canonical singularities and with trivial canonical bundle. Let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. Assume that the pair $(X,L)$ is the flat limit of a family of smooth polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Assume that for each singular point $x \in X$ there exist a Kahler-Ein…

In this paper we provide some stability criteria for systems of linear subspaces of $V \otimes W$ and for systems of quotient coherent sheaves, using, respectively, the Hilbert-Mumford numerical criterion and moment map. Along the way, we generalize the Gelfand-MacPherson correspondence [11] from point sets to sets of …

In this paper, we study the boundary behavior of the negatively curved Kähler-Einstein metric attached to a log canonical pair $(X,D)$ such that $K_X+D$ is ample. In the case where $X$ is smooth and $D$ has simple normal crossings support (but possibly negative coefficients), we provide a very precise estimate on the p…

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…

In this paper, we study the Nakano-positivity and dual-Nakano-positivity of certain adjoint vector bundles associated to ample vector bundles. As applications, we get new vanishing theorems about ample vector bundles. For example, we prove that if $E$ is an ample vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold $X$, $S^kE\…

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.

New invariants prove existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on big classes.

We study the local curvature estimates of long-time solutions to the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow on compact Kähler manifolds with semi-ample canonical line bundles. Using these estimates, we prove that on such a manifold, the set of singular fibers of the semi-ample fibration on which the Riemann curvature blows up at…

The paper solves a 25-year-old problem about maximal growth distributions on manifolds.

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a Kähler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef dimension of the canonical line bundle is maximal. With certain additional assumptions, …

The paper proves conditions for vector bundles to be Kobayashi and Griffiths positive.

In this paper, we introduce the associated geodesic-Einstein flow for a relatively ample line bundle $L$ over the total space $\mathcal{X}$ of a holomorphic fibration and obtain a few properties of that flow. In particular, we prove that the pair $(\mathcal{X}, L)$ is nonlinear semistable if the {associated} Donaldson …

Let X be a projective variety which is algebraic Lang hyperbolic. We show that Lang's conjecture holds (one direction only): X and all its subvarieties are of general type and the canonical divisor K_X is ample at smooth points and Kawamata log terminal points of X, provided that K_X is Q-Cartier, no Calabi-Yau variety…
