Classification of homogeneous almost complex 4-manifolds with non-degenerate torsion bundle

A quadratic line complex is a three-parameter family of lines in projective space P^3 specified by a single quadratic relation in the Plucker coordinates. Fixing a point p in P^3 and taking all lines of the complex passing through p we obtain a quadratic cone with vertex at p. This family of cones supplies P^3 with a c…

New symplectic forms derived from Lagrangian fibrations on symplectic manifolds.

In this paper, we make progress on understanding the collapsing behavior of Calabi-Yau metrics on a degenerating family of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. In the case of a family of smooth Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in projective space degenerating into the transversal union of two smooth Fano hypersurfaces in a generic …

Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $η$ a closed, positive (1,1)-form which is degenerate everywhere on $M$. We associate to $η$ a family of complex structures on $M$, called a degenerate twistor family, and parametrized by a complex line. When $η$ is a pullback of a Kaehler form under a Lagrangian fibration $L$, a…

This paper is the first arising from our project announced in math.AG/0211094, "Affine manifolds, log structures, and mirror symmetry." We aim to study mirror symmetry by studying the log structures of Illusie-Fontaine and Kato on degenerations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. The basic idea is that one can associate to certai…

We study the class $\mathcal{K}_{2}+\mathcal{K}_{4}$ of homogeneous pseudo-Kähler structures in the strongly degenerate case. The local form and the holonomy of a pseudo-Kähler manifold admitting such a structure is obtained, leading to a possible complex generalization of homogeneous plane waves. The same question is …

We continue the study of blow-ups in generalized complex geometry with the blow-up theory for generalized Kähler manifolds. The natural candidates for submanifolds to be blown-up are those which are generalized Poisson for one of the two generalized complex structures and can be blown up in a generalized complex manner…

There exist non-degenerate 3-form $dω_I$, $ω_I(X,Y)=g(IX,Y)$, for each leftinvariant almost Hermitian structure $(g,I)$, where $g$ is Killing-Cartan metric on the $M=S^3\times S^3=SU(2)\times SU(2)$. Known \cite{H1}, that arbitrary non-degenerate 3-form on the 6-dimensional manifold, with some additional properties def…

Study of complex structures on Courant algebroids, linking to Poisson structures.

Constructs a family to handle unstable fibers on complex surfaces.

Let $(M,I,J,K)$ be a hyperkahler manifold, and $Z\subset (M,I)$ a complex subvariety in $(M,I)$. We say that $Z$ is trianalytic if it is complex analytic with respect to $J$ and $K$, and absolutely trianalytic if it is trianalytic with respect to any hyperkähler triple of complex structures $(M,I,J',K')$ containing $I$…

In this paper we construct a family of complex structures on a complex flag manifold that converge to the real polarization coming from the Gelfand-Cetlin integrable system, in the sense that holomorphic sections of a prequantum line bundle converge to delta-function sections supported on the Bohr-Sommerfeld fibers. Ou…

We study the behavior of the degeneration at the second step of the Frölicher spectral sequence of a $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ family of compact complex manifolds. Using techniques from deformation theory and adapting them to pseudo-differential operators we prove a result \textit{à la Kodaira-Spencer} for the dimension o…

The subject for investigation in this note is concerned with holomorphic Poisson structures on nilmanifolds with abelian complex structures. As a basic fact, we establish that on such manifolds, the Dolbeault cohomology with coefficients in holomorphic polyvector fields is isomorphic to the cohomology of invariant form…

Let $(M,I)$ be an almost complex 6-manifold. The obstruction to integrability of almost complex structure (so-called Nijenhuis tensor) maps a 3-dimensional bundle to a 3-dimensional one. We say that Nijenhuis tensor is non-degenerate if it is an isomorphism. An almost complex manifold is called nearly Kaehler if it adm…

In this paper the notion of an M-th order invariant bilinear differential pairing is introduced and a formal definition is given. If the manifold has an AHS structure, then various first order pairings are constructed. This yields a classification of all first order invariant bilinear differential pairings on homogeneo…

We show that the Frölicher spectral sequence of a complex parallelizable solvmanifold is degenerate at $E_{2}$-term. For a semi-direct product $G=\C^{n}\ltimes_φN$ of Lie-groups with lattice $Γ=Γ^{\prime}\ltimes Γ^{\prime\prime}$ such that $N$ is a nilpotent Lie-group with a left-invariant complex structure and $φ$ is …

Study on deformations of $(p,q)$-forms and spectral sequence degenerations.

The paper explores complex Poisson structures on smooth functions in complex manifolds.

We wish to attack the problems that H.~Anciaux and K.~Panagiotidou posed in [1], for non-degenerate real hypersurfaces in indefinite complex projective space. We will slightly change these authors' point of view, obtaining cleaner equations for the almost contact metric structure. To make the theory meaningful, we cons…

Study the limit of Calabi-Yau metrics with degenerate skeletons.

Study finite-energy metrics over complex manifold degenerations.

New class of singular complex manifolds studied with degenerate theory.

Let $(X, J)$ be a compact Kahler manifold with a non-zero holomorphic Poisson structure $β$. If the obstruction space for deformations of generalized complex structures on $(X, J)$ vanishes, we obtain a family of deformations of non-trivial bihermitian structures $(J, J^-_t, h_t)$ on $X$ by using $β$. In addition, if t…

A Kaehler-Nijenhuis manifold is a Kaehler manifold M, with metric g, complex structure J and Kaehler form F, endowed with a Nijenhuis tensor field A that is compatible with the Poisson stucture defined by F in the sense of the theory of Poisson-Nijenhuis structures. If this happens, and if either AJ=JA or AJ=-JA, M is …

The paper explores spectral sequences of complex manifolds with special metrics.

We correct an error in the second part of Theorem 3 of our original paper (arXiv:1512.07161).

A complex orthogonal (geometric) structure on a complex manifold is a geometric structure locally modelled on a non-degenerate quadric. One of the first examples of such a structure on a compact manifold of dimension three was constructed by Guillot. In this paper, we show that the same manifold carries a family of uni…

Classifies degenerations of complex projective plane with rational singularities.

We classify invariant almost complex structures on homogeneous manifolds of dimension 6 with semi-simple isotropy. Those with non-degenerate Nijenhuis tensor have the automorphism group of dimension either 14 or 9. An invariant almost complex structure with semi-simple isotropy is necessarily either of specified 6 homo…

For an almost product structure $J$ on a manifold $M$ of dimension $6$ with non-degenerate Nijenhuis tensor $N_J$, we show that the automorphism group $G=Aut(M,J)$ has dimension at most 14. In the case of equality $G$ is the exceptional Lie group $G_2^*$. The next possible symmetry dimension is proved to be equal to 10…

Generically an almost complex structure has no symmetries at all, but there exist symmetric structures. In this paper we describe how to guarantee that the pseudogroup of local symmetries is small (finite-dimensional). It will be indicated that a large symmetry pseudogroup (infinite-dimensional) is a signature of some …

A holomorphic Poisson structure induces a deformation of the complex structure as Hitchin's generalized geometry. Its associated cohomology naturally appears as the limit of a spectral sequence of a double complex. The first sheet of this spectral sequence is the Dolbeault cohomology with coefficients in the exterior a…

We investigate connections between the sGG property of compact complex manifolds, defined in earlier work by the second author and L. Ugarte by the requirement that every Gauduchon metric be strongly Gauduchon, and a possible degeneration of the Frölicher spectral sequence. In the first approach that we propose, we pro…

New geometries derived from symplectic Monge-Ampère structures.

Degenerate twistor deformations of Kähler manifolds are also Kähler.

In this article, we derive a topological obstruction to the removal of a isolated degenerate complex tangent to an embedding of a 3-manifold into $\mathbb{C}^3$ (without affecting the structure of the remaining complex tangents). We demonstrate how the vanishing of this obstruction is both a necessary and sufficient co…

Study of polygon degeneration to segments in complex space.

We investigate degenerate special-Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds, in particular, degenerate Kähler and locally conformally Kähler metrics on special classes of non-Kähler manifolds.

In this paper we show that the convergence of complete Kahler-Einstein hypersurfaces in complex torus in the sense of Cheeger-Gromov will canonically degenerate the underlying manifolds into "pair of pants" decomposition. We also construct minimal Lagrangian tori that represent the vanishing cycles of the degeneration.

We consider degenerations of complex projective Calabi--Yau varieties and study the singularities of $L^2$, Quillen and BCOV metrics on Hodge and determinant bundles. The dominant and subdominant terms in the expansions of the metrics close to non-smooth fibers are shown to be related to well-known topological invarian…
