Classifies totally geodesic submanifolds and polar actions on Stiefel manifolds.

Polarized and $G$-polarized CR manifolds are smooth manifolds endowed with a double structure: a real foliation $\Cal F$ (given by the action of a Lie group $G$ in the $G$-polarized case) and a transverse CR distribution $(E,J)$. Polarized means that $(E,J)$ is roughly speaking invariant by $\Cal F$. Both structures ar…

The main result of this paper is that a polar action on a compact irreducible homogeneous Kaehler manifold is coisotropic. This is then used to give new examples of polar actions and to classify coisotropic and polar actions on quadrics.

Polar manifolds are Riemannian G-manifolds admitting a "section", i.e., a complete submanifold passing through every orbit and doing so orthogonally. We consider compact simply-connected polar manifolds and achieve an equivariantly diffeomorphic classification in dimensions 5 or less. As an application, we determine wh…

Totally geodesic dual leaves on curved manifolds are also curved.

The generic fiber of a Lagrangian fibration on an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold is an abelian variety. Associate a polarization type to such Lagrangian fibrations coming from polarizations on a generic fiber. We prove that this polarization type is constant in families of Lagrangian fibrations. Further, w…

For complex projective manifolds we introduce polar homology groups, which are holomorphic analogues of the homology groups in topology. The polar k-chains are subvarieties of complex dimension k with meromorphic forms on them, while the boundary operator is defined by taking the polar divisor and the Poincare residue …

In this paper, assuming that a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$ is strongly K-stable, we shall show that the polarization class $c_1(L)$ admits a constant scalar curvature Kaehler metric.

New method shows unitarity in quantization for toric manifolds.

Projective varieties remain stable under close polarizations, extending to Kähler cones.

We introduce and study the basic notion of polarized Poisson manifolds generalizing the classical case of Poisson manifolds and extend this last notion for the ${k-}$% symplectic stuctures. And also, we show that for any polarized Hamiltonian map, the associated Nambu's dynamical system and polarized Hamiltonian system…

We prove a criterion for an isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold to be polar. From this criterion, it follows that an action with a fixed point is polar if and only if the slice representation at the fixed point is polar and the section is the tangent space of an embedded totally geodesic submanifol…

Subharmonicity of Dirichlet energy proven for Kähler manifolds.

We show that simply connected Riemannian homogeneous spaces of compact semisimple Lie groups with polar isotropy actions are symmetric, generalizing results of Fabio Podesta and the third named author. Without assuming compactness, we give a classification of Riemannian homogeneous spaces of semisimple Lie groups whose…

A formula of the renormalized volume of tubes over polalized Kähler-Einstein manifolds is given in terms of the Einstein constant and the volume of the polarization.

Recently, Donaldson proved asymptotic stability for a polarized algebraic manifold $M$ with polarization class admitting a Kähler metric of constant scalar curvature, essentially when the linear algebraic part $H$ of $Aut^0(M)$ is semisimple. The purpose of this paper is to give a generalization of Donaldson's result t…

Study slopes of direct images in complex manifolds, proving a Mehta-Ramanathan type theorem.

A group action is called polar if there exists an immersed submanifold (a section) which intersects all orbits orthogonally. Such group actions have been studied extensively on symmetric spaces. We show how to construct a manifold admitting a polar group action by prescribing their isotropy groups along a fundamental d…

The paper calculates the second variation of energy functions for families of canonically polarized manifolds.

In this paper, we shall show that a polarized algebraic manifold is K-stable if the polarization class admits a Kaehler metric of constant scalar curvature. This generalizes the results of Chen-Tian, Donaldson and Stoppa. (Parts of the arguments are based on a forthcoming paper "A stronger concept of K-stability." )

We analyze polar actions on Hermitian and quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces of compact type. For complex integrable polar actions on Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type we prove a reduction theorem and several corollaries concerning the geometry of these actions. The results are independent of the classificatio…

The paper proves a Hard Lefschetz Theorem for push-forwards of polarized twistor modules.

In this paper, we study the Chern classes on the moduli space of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. We prove that the integrations of the invariants of the curvature of the Weil-Petersson metric are finite. In some special cases, they are even rational numbers.

The paper solves a uniform Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric manifolds.

The main result of the paper is the complete classification of the compact connected Lie groups acting coisotropically on complex Grassmannians. This is used to determine the polar actions on the same manifolds.

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold with a polar action by the Lie group $G$, with section $Σ\subset M$ and generalized Weyl group $W$. We show that restriction to $Σ$ is a surjective map from the set of smooth $G$-invariant tensors on $M$ onto the set of smooth $W$-invariant tensors on $Σ$. Moreover, we show that every s…

This is Part II of a series on noncompact isometry groups of Lorentz manifolds. We have introduced in Part I, a compactification of these isometry groups, and called ``bi-polarized'' those Lorentz manifolds having a ``trivial '' compactification. Here we show a geometric rigidity of non-bi-polarized Lorentz manifolds; …

We introduce polar metrics on a product manifold, which have product and warped product metrics as special cases. We prove a de Rham-type theorem characterizing Riemannian manifolds that can be locally decomposed as a product manifold endowed with a polar metric. For a product manifold endowed with a polar metric, our …

For a singular Riemannian foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a Riemannian manifold, a curve is called horizontal if it meets the leaves of $\mathcal{F}$ perpendicularly. For a singular Riemannian foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n}$, we show that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a polar foliation or if $\mathcal{F}$ is…

The formulation of Geometric Quantization contains several axioms and assumptions. We show that for real polarizations we can generalize the standard geometric quantization procedure by introducing an arbitrary connection on the polarization bundle. The existence of reducible quantum structures leads to considering the…

In this paper, improving a preceding work, we obtain asymptotic polybalanced kernels associated to extremal Kaehler metrics on polarized algebraic manifolds. As a corollary, we have a stronger asymptotic relative Chow-polystability for extremal Kaehler polarized algebraic manifolds. Finally, related to the Yau-Tian-Don…

In this paper, we study the collapsing behaviour of negative Kähler-Einstein metrics along degenerations of canonical polarized manifolds. We prove that for a toroidal degeneration of canonical polarized manifolds with the total space $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, the Kähler-Einstein metrics on fibers collapse to a lower dim…

We develop the connection between equivariant completions of algebraic homogeneous spaces of reductive groups and lower bounds for the Mabuchi energy of a polarized manifold over the space of Bergman metrics. We provide a new definition of Tian's CM Polarization and discuss its properties.

In this paper, we consider an obstruction to asymptotic Chow-semistability of a polarized Kaehler algebraic manifold. Even when a linear algebraic group of positive dimension acts nontrivially and holomorphically on a polarized Kaehler algebraic manifold with constant scalar curvature, the vanishing of the obstruction …

A singular Riemannian foliation $F$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is called a polar foliation if, for each regular point $p$, there is an immersed submanifold $Σ$, called section, that passes through $p$ and that meets all the leaves and always perpendicularly. A typical example of a polar foliation is the part…

It's well-known in \kahler geometry that the infinite dimensional symmetric space $\hcal$ of smooth \kahler metrics in a fixed \kahler class on a polarized \kahler manifold is well approximated by finite dimensional submanifolds $\bcal_k \subset \hcal$ of Bergman metrics of height $k$. Then it's natural to ask whether …
