Characterizations of Null Holomorphic Sectional Curvature of G C R-Lightlike Submanifolds of Indefinite Nearly K ¨ahler Manifolds

We obtain the expressions for sectional curvature, holomorphic sectional curvature and holomorphic bisectional curvature of a GCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite nearly K ¨ahler manifold and obtain characterization theorems for holo-morphic sectional and holomorphic bisectional curvature. We also establish a condi-tion for a GCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite complex space form to be a null holomorphically flat.     

Holomorphic Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for Non-compact Khler Manifolds

The authors obtain a holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point formula for certain non-compact "hyperbolic" Khler manifolds (e.g. Khler hyperbolic manifolds, bounded domains of holomorphy) by using the Bergman kernel. This result generalizes the early work of Donnelly and Fefferman.     

Nearly Kähler Submanifolds of a Space Form

In this article, we study isometric immersions of nearly Kähler manifolds into a space form (especially Euclidean space) and show that every nearly Kähler submanifold of a space form has an umbilic foliation whose leafs are 6-dimensional nearly Kähler manifolds. Moreover, using this foliation we show that there is no non-homogeneous 6-dimensional nearly Kähler submanifold of a space form. We prove some results towards a classification of nearly Kähler hypersurfaces in standard space forms.     

Conjugate Points on a Type of Khler Manifolds

We study conjugate points on a type of Khler manifolds, which are submanifolds of Grassmannian manifolds. And then we give the applications to the study of the index of geodesics and homotopy groups.     

Bochner-Kodaira Techniques on Khler Finsler Manifolds

A horizontal Hodge Laplacian operator □h is defined for Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles over PTM on Khler Finsler manifold,and the expression of □h is obtained explicitly in terms of horizontal covariant derivatives of the Chern-Finsler connection.The vanishing theorem is obtained by using the α_Hα_H-method on Kahler Finsler manifolds.     

K?hler Manifolds with Almost Non-negative Ricci Curvature

Compact Kähler manifolds with semi-positive Ricci curvature have been investigated by various authors. From Peternell’s work, if M is a compact Kähler n-manifold with semi-positive Ricci curvature and finite fundamental group, then the universal cover has a decomposition \( \ifmmode\expandafter\tilde\else\expandafter\~\fi{M} \cong X_{1} \times \cdots \times X_{m} \), where X _j is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperKähler manifold, or X _j satisfies H ⁰(X _j , Ω ^p ) = 0. The purpose of this paper is to generalize this theorem to almost non-negative Ricci curvature Kähler manifolds by using the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. Let M be a compact complex n-manifold with non-vanishing Euler number. If for any ∈ > 0, there exists a Kähler structure (J _∈, g _∈) on M such that the volume \({\text{Vol}}_{{g_{ \in } }} {\left( M \right)} < V\), the sectional curvature |K(g _∈)| < Λ², and the Ricci-tensor Ric(g _∈)> ?∈g _∈, where V and Λ are two constants independent of ∈. Then the fundamental group of M is finite, and M is diffeomorphic to a complex manifold X such that the universal covering of X has a decomposition, \( \ifmmode\expandafter\tilde\else\expandafter\~\fi{X} \cong X_{1} \times \cdots \times X_{s} \), where X _i is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperKähler manifold, or X _i satisfies H ⁰(X _i , Ω ^p ) = {0}, p > 0.

Semistable Twisted Holomorphic Chains on Non-Compact Kähler Manifolds

In this paper, the author proves a generalized Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem for twisted holomorphic chain on a non-compact K\"ahler manifold. As an application, the author obtains a Bogomolov type Chern numbers inequality for semistable twisted holomorphic chain.     

Geometric Schrdinger-Airy Flows on Khler Manifolds

We define a class of geometric flows on a complete Khler manifold to unify some physical and mechanical models such as the motion equations of vortex filament, complex-valued mKdV equations, derivative nonlinear Schrdinger equations etc. Furthermore, we consider the existence for these flows from S~1into a complete Khler manifold and prove some local and global existence results.     

Holomorphic Torus Actions on Compact Locally Conformal Kähler Manifolds

Given a torus action (T ², M) on a smooth manifold, the orbit map ev _x(t)=t·xfor each xMinduces a homomorphism ev _*: ²H ₁(M;). The action is said to be Rank-kif the image of ev _*has rank k(2) for each point of M. In particular, if ev _*is a monomorphism, then the action is called homologically injective. It is known that a holomorphic complex torus action on a compact Kähler manifold is homologically injective. We study holomorphic complex torus actions on compact non-Kähler Hermitian manifolds. A Hermitian manifold is said to be a locally conformal Kähler if a lift of the metric to the universal covering space is conformal to a Kähler metric. We shall prove that a holomorphic conformal complex torus action on a compact locally conformal Kähler manifold Mis Rank-1 provided that Mhas no Kähler structure.     

Sectional curvatures of Kähler moduli

If X is a compact Kähler manifold of dimension n, we let denote the cone of Kähler classes, and the level set given by classes D with Dⁿ=1. This space is naturally a Riemannian manifold and is isometric to the manifold of Kähler forms with ⁿ some fixed volume form, equipped with the Hodge metric, as studied previously by Huybrechts. We study these spaces further, in particular their geodesics and sectional curvatures. Conjecturally, at least for Calabi–Yau manifolds and probably rather more generally, these sectional curvatures should be bounded between and zero. We find simple formulae for the sectional curvatures, and prove both the bounds hold for various classes of varieties, developing along the way a mirror to the Weil–Petersson theory of complex moduli. In the case of threefolds with h^1,1=3, we produce an explicit formula for this curvature in terms of the invariants of the cubic form. This enables us to check the bounds by computer for a wide range of examples. Finally, we explore the implications of the non-positivity of these curvatures.     

Holomorphic Isometry from a Kähler Manifold into a Product of Complex Projective Manifolds

We study the global property of local holomorphic isometric mappings from a class of Kähler manifolds into a product of projective algebraic manifolds with induced Fubini-Study metrics, where isometric factors are allowed to be negative.

Holomorphic submersions of locally conformally Kähler manifolds

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold covered by a Kähler manifold, with the covering group acting by homotheties. We show that if such a compact manifold \(X\) admits a holomorphic submersion with positive-dimensional fibers at least one of which is of Kähler type, then \(X\) is globally conformally Kähler or biholomorphic, up to finite covers, to a small deformation of a Vaisman manifold (i.e., a mapping torus over a circle, with Sasakian fiber). As a consequence, we show that the product of a compact non-Kähler LCK and a compact Kähler manifold cannot carry a LCK metric.     

Real Lightlike Hypersurfaces of Paraquaternionic Kähler Manifolds

The Khler-Ricci Flow on Khler Manifolds with 2-Non-negative Traceless Bisectional Curvature Operator

The authors show that the 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature is preserved along the Khler-Ricci flow. The positivity of Ricci curvature is also preserved along the Khler-Ricci flow with 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature. As a corollary, the Khler-Ricci flow with 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature will converge to a Khler-Ricci soliton in the sense of Cheeger-Gromov-Hausdorff topology if complex dimension n ≥ 3.     

The Sasaki–Ricci Flow and Compact Sasaki Manifolds of Positive Transverse Holomorphic Bisectional Curvature

We show that Perelman’s ${\mathcal{W}}$ functional on Kähler manifolds has a natural counterpart on Sasaki manifolds. We prove, using this functional, that Perelman’s results on Kähler–Ricci flow (the first Chern class is positive) can be generalized to Sasaki–Ricci flow, including the uniform bound on the diameter and the scalar curvature along the flow. We also show that positivity of transverse bisectional curvature is preserved along Sasaki–Ricci flow, using Bando and Mok’s methods and results in Kähler–Ricci flow. In particular, we show that the Sasaki–Ricci flow converges to a Sasaki–Ricci soliton when the initial metric has nonnegative transverse bisectional curvature.     

Curvature properties of twistor spaces of quaternionic Kähler manifolds

We present a study of natural almost Hermitian structures on twistor spaces of quaternionic Kahler manifolds. This is used to supply (4n + 2)-dimensional examples (n > 1) of symplec tic non-Kähler manifolds. Studying their curvature properties we give a negative answer to the questions raised by D.Blair-S.Ianus and A.Gray, respectively, of whether a compact almost Kähler manifold with Hermitian Ricci tensor or whose curvature tensor belongs to the class AH2 is Kähler.Dedicated to Professor Helmut Karzel on the occasion of his 70th birthdayResearch partially supported by Contracts MM 413/1994 and MM 423/1994 with the Ministry of Science and Education of Bulgaria and by Contract 219/1994 with the University of Sofia St. Kl.
