Smooth approximations of Kähler-Ricci solitons found using quantized metrics and Futaki invariants.

New Calabi-Yau metrics converge polynomially to Calabi model space.

New complete Calabi-Yau metrics found in complex space.

We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics on complements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous manifolds and discuss when this metric is complete and Kähler. This construction has a strong interplay with invariance groups of the same dimension as the manifold acting with an open …

Extends K-stability theory to projective klt pairs with a big anticanonical class.

We describe a framework for constructing the general Ricci-flat metric on the anticanonical cone over the del Pezzo surface of rank one.

From a hermitian metric on the anticanonical bundle on a Del Pezzo surface, and a holomorphic section of it, we construct a one parameter family of bihermitian metrics (or equivalently generalized Kaehler structures). The construction appears to be linked to noncommutative geometry.

Decomposes Q-Fano Kähler-Einstein varieties into simpler components.

The global log canonical threshold (or Tian's alpha-invariant) plays an important role in the geometry of Fano varieties. Tian showed that Fano manifolds with big alpha-invariant can be equipped with a Kahler-Einstein metric. In recent years Donaldson drafted a programme to determine when a smooth Fano variety X admits…

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.

Study finds limits for conical Kähler-Einstein metrics on unstable surfaces.

In this paper we provide a classification of all Moishezon twistor spaces on the connected sum of four complex projective planes. This is given by means of the anticanonical system of the twistor spaces. In particular, we show that the anticanonical map is birational, two to one over the image, or otherwise the image o…

Fundamental groups of certain Kähler orbifolds have polynomial growth.

We prove that a Kahler metric in the anticanonical class which is a critical point of the functional E_k and has nonnegative Ricci curvature, is necessarily Kahler-Einstein. This partially answers a question of X.X.Chen.

Study the Albanese map for Kähler manifolds with nef anticanonical bundle.

We study the problem of existence of Kähler--Einstein metrics on smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank one and anticanonical degree $22$ that admit a faithful action of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^\ast$. We prove that, except possibly two explicitly described cases, all such smooth Fano threefolds are Kähler--…

We apply a recent theorem of Li and the first author to give some criteria for the K-stability of Fano varieties in terms of anticanonical Q-divisors. First, we propose a condition in terms of certain anticanonical Q-divisors of given Fano variety, which we conjecture to be equivalent to the K-stability. We prove that …

In this paper we classify all Moishezon twistor spaces on 4CP^2. The classification is given in terms of the structure of the anticanonical system of the twistor spaces. We show that the anticanonical map satisfies one of the following three properties: (a) birational over the image, (b) two to one over the image, or (…

The Miyaoka-Yau inequality is proven for certain singular varieties with big canonical or anticanonical divisors.

The study of projective varieties with nef anticanonical divisors and log terminal singularities.

We study the geometry of complexified moduli spaces of special Lagrangian submanifolds in the complement of an anticanonical divisor in a compact Kahler manifold. In particular, we explore the connections between T-duality and mirror symmetry in concrete examples, and show how quantum corrections arise in this context.

The 'moduli continuity method' permits an explicit algebraisation of the Gromov-Hausdorff compactification of Kähler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds in some fundamental examples. In this paper, we apply such method in the 'log setting' to describe explicitly some compact moduli spaces of K-polystable log Fano pairs.…

For $φ$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $\int_X e^{-φ}.$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along continuous geodesics in the space of positively curved metrics on $-K_X$ and that the concavity is strict unless the geodesic comes f…

We continue to study twistor spaces on the connected sum of four complex projective planes, whose anticanonical map is of degree two over the image. In particular, we determine the defining equation of the branch divisor of the anticanonical map in an explicit form. Together with previous two articles (arXiv:1009.3153 …

Study identifies Kähler-Einstein, Kähler-Ricci soliton, and Sasaki-Einstein metrics on log del Pezzo surfaces.

Researchers prove existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics with conic singularities on Fano manifolds.

We study the evolution of anticanonical line bundles along the Kähler Ricci flow. We show that under some conditions, the convergence of Kähler Ricci flow is determined by the properties of the anticanonical divisors of $M$. As examples, the Kähler Ricci flow on $M$ converges when $M$ is a Fano surface and $c_1^2(M)=1$…

Characterizes metrics on Lie groups, proving non-simultaneous existence of balanced and pluriclosed metrics.

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…

The paper finds conditions for smooth curves of balanced metrics in Hermitian non-Kähler settings.

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two, and let ${\mathcal Q}_X(r,d)$ be the quot scheme that parametrizes all the torsion coherent quotients of ${\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X$ of degree $d$. This ${\mathcal Q}_X(r,d)$ is also a moduli space of vortices on $X$. Its geometric properties have be…

Study locally conformally balanced metrics on specific Lie algebras.

Study confirms asymptotic behavior of logarithmic balanced metric near infinity.

We give a simple criterion for slope stability of Fano manifolds $X$ along divisors or smooth subvarieties. As an application, we show that $X$ is slope stable along an ample effective divisor $D\subset X$ unless $X$ is isomorphic to a projective space and $D$ is a hyperplane section. We also give counterexamples to Au…

Study non-Kähler metrics on complex nilmanifolds, proving torus structure under certain conditions.

Paper proves non-existence of certain balanced metrics on six-manifolds.

We introduce a new effective stability named "divisorial stability" for Fano manifolds which is weaker than K-stability and is stronger than slope stability along divisors. We show that we can test divisorial stability via the volume function. As a corollary, we prove that the first coordinate of the barycenter of the …

We study the algebraic dimension of twistor spaces of positive type over $4\bbfP^2$. We show that such a twistor space is Moishezon if and only if its anticanonical class is not nef. More precisely, we show the equivalence of being Moishezon with the existence of a smooth rational curve having negative intersection num…

The paper constructs flat metrics on orbifolds and resolutions.

This paper consists of two results dealing with balanced metrics (in S. Donaldson terminology) on nonconpact complex manifolds. In the first one we describe all balanced metrics on Cartan domains. In the second one we show that the only Cartan-Hartogs domain which admits a balanced metric is the complex hyperbolic spac…
