Some results on compact Kähler surfaces with non-positive bisectional curvature

In 1961 L. Frankel conjectured that any compact Kähler manifold of positive bisectional curvature is biholomorphic to a projective space. This was solved by S. Mori in 1979 and Siu and Yau in 1980. N. Mok in 1988 gave a full solution to the generalized Frankel’s conjecture and proposed a dual problem. The results in this paper are attempts to give modified solutions to this problem in complex dimension two.     

A uniformization theorem for complete Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature

In the theory of complex geometry, one of the famous problems is the following conjecture of Greene and Wu [13] and Yau [33]: Suppose M is a complete noncompact Kähler manifold with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature; then M is biholomorphic to ?ⁿ. In this paper we use the Ricci flow evolution equation to study this conjecture and prove the result that if M has bounded and positive curvature such that the L’ norm of the curvature on geodesic ball is small enough, then the conjecture is true. Our result gives an improvement on the results of Mok et al. [21] and Mok [22].     

Kähler manifolds with quasi-constant holomorphic curvature

The aim of this article is to classify compact Kähler manifolds with quasi-constant holomorphic sectional curvature.     

Compact Kähler manifolds with nonpositive bisectional curvature

Let (M ⁿ , g) be a compact Kähler manifold with nonpositive bisectional curvature. We show that a finite cover is biholomorphic and isometric to a flat torus bundle over a compact Kähler manifold N ^k with c ₁ <  0. This confirms a conjecture of Yau. As a corollary, for any compact Kähler manifold with nonpositive bisectional curvature, the Kodaira dimension is equal to the maximal rank of the Ricci tensor. We also prove a global splitting result under the assumption of certain immersed complex submanifolds.

Symplectic mean curvature flows in Kähler surfaces with positive holomorphic sectional curvatures

In this paper, we mainly study the mean curvature flow in Kähler surfaces with positive holomorphic sectional curvatures. We prove that if the ratio of the maximum and the minimum of the holomorphic sectional curvatures is less than $2$ , then there exists a positive constant $\delta $ depending on the ratio such that $\cos \alpha \ge \delta $ is preserved along the flow.     

Compact complex surfaces and constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics

In this article, I prove the following statement: Every compact complex surface with even first Betti number is deformation equivalent to one which admits an extremal Kähler metric. In fact, this extremal Kähler metric can even be taken to have constant scalar curvature in all but two cases: the deformation equivalence classes of the blow-up of \({\mathbb {P}_2}\) at one or two points. The explicit construction of compact complex surfaces with constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics in different deformation equivalence classes is given. The main tool repeatedly applied here is the gluing theorem of C. Arezzo and F. Pacard which states that the blow-up/resolution of a compact manifold/orbifold of discrete type, which admits cscK metrics, still admits cscK metrics.     

Almost contact Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We introduce the notion of an almost contact Kähler structure. We also define the holomorphic sectional curvature of the distribution of an almost contact Kähler structure with respect to an interior metric connection and establish relations between the φ-sectional curvature of an almost contact Kähler manifold and the holomorphic sectional curvature of the distribution of an almost contact Kähler structure.     

Conformally Einstein products and nearly Kähler manifolds

In the first part of this note we study compact Riemannian manifolds (M, g) whose Riemannian product with is conformally Einstein. We then consider 6-dimensional almost Hermitian manifolds of type W ₁ + W ₄ in the Gray–Hervella classification admitting a parallel vector field and show that (under some mild assumption) they are obtained as Riemannian cylinders over compact Sasaki–Einstein 5-dimensional manifolds.      

Biharmonic holomorphic maps and conformally Kähler geometry

We give conditions on the Lee vector field of an almost Hermitian manifold such that any holomorphic map from this manifold into a (1, 2)-symplectic manifold must satisfy the fourth-order condition of being biharmonic, hence generalizing the Lichnerowicz theorem on harmonic maps. These third-order non-linear conditions are shown to greatly simplify on l.c.K. manifolds and construction methods and examples are given in all dimensions.     

On holomorphic immersions into Khler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We study holomorphic immersions f:X→M from a complex manifold X into a Kahler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature M, i.e. a complex hyperbolic space form, a complex Euclidean space form, or the complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. For X compact we show that the tangent sequence splits holomorphically if and only if f is a totally geodesic immersion. For X not necessarily compact we relate an intrinsic cohomological invariant p(X) on X, viz. the invariant defined by Gunning measuring the obstruction to the existence of holomorphic projective connections, to an extrinsic cohomological invariant v(f) measuring the obstruction to the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence. The two invariants p(X) and v(f) are related by a linear map on cohomology groups induced by the second fundamental form. In some cases, especially when X is a complex surface and M is of complex dimension 4, under the assumption that X admits a holomorphic projective connection we obtain     

Lie algebras ofH-projective motions of Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

In the paper, the Lie algebras of infinitesimalH-projective transformations with2n-dimensional Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature are considered. It is proved that these algebras are isomorphic to the realification of the complex Lie algebra $sl(n, \mathbb{C})$ , and their local realization in the form of an algebra of vector fields on a manifold is described.     

On holomorphic immersions into kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We study holomorphic immersions f:X →M from a complex manifoldX into a Kähler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvatureM, i.e. a complex hyperbolic space form, a complex Euclidean space form, or the complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. ForX compact we show that the tangent sequence splits holomorphically if and only iff is a totally geodesic immersion. ForX not necessarily compact we relate an intrinsic cohomological invariantp(X) onX, viz. the invariant defined by Gunning measuring the obstruction to the existence of holomorphic projective connections, to an extrinsic cohomological invariant(f) measuring the obstruction to the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence. The two invariantsp(X) and?(f) are related by a linear map on cohomology groups induced by the second fundamental form. In some cases, especially whenX is a complex surface andM is of complex dimension 4, under the assumption thatX admits a holomorphic projective connection we obtain a sufficient condition for the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence in terms of the second fundamental form.     

Kähler magnetic fields on Kähler manifolds of negative curvature

On a Kähler manifold we have natural uniform magnetic fields which are constant multiples of the Kähler form. Trajectories, which are motions of electric charged particles, under these magnetic fields can be considered as generalizations of geodesics. We give an overview on a study of Kähler magnetic fields and show some similarities between trajectories and geodesics on Kähler manifolds of negative curvature.     

Non-minimal scalar-flat Kähler surfaces and parabolic stability

A new construction is presented of scalar-flat Kähler metrics on non-minimal ruled surfaces. The method is based on the resolution of singularities of orbifold ruled surfaces which are closely related to rank-2 parabolically stable holomorphic bundles. This rather general construction is shown also to give new examples of low genus: in particular, it is shown that \(\mathbb{CP}^2\) blown up at 10 suitably chosen points, admits a scalar-flat Kähler metric; this answers a question raised by Claude LeBrun in 1986 in connection with the classification of compact self-dual 4-manifolds.     

Kähler groups, $${\mathbb{}}$$-trees,and holomorphic families of riemann surfaces

Let X be a compact Kähler manifold, and g a fixed genus. Due to the work of Parshin and Arakelov, it is known that there are only a finite number of non isotrivial holomorphic families of Riemann surfaces of genus \({g \geqslant 2}\) over X. We prove that this number only depends on the fundamental group of X. Our approach uses geometric group theory (limit groups, \({\mathbb{R}}\)-trees, the asymptotic geometry of the mapping class group), and Gromov-Shoen theory. We prove that in many important cases limit groups (in the sense of Sela) associated to infinite sequences of actions of a Kähler group on a Gromov-hyperbolic space are surface groups and we apply this result to monodromy groups acting on complexes of curves.     

On the universal cover of certain exotic Kähler surfaces of negative curvature

We study a class of examples of negatively curved compact Kähler surfaces that are not diffeomorphic to any locally symmetric space. From the analysis of certain totally geodesic curves on these surfaces we deduce that, for infinitely many examples, the natural representation of the fundamental group into PU(2,1) is non-faithful. We also give a new construction of bounded holomorphic functions on the universal cover of our surfaces, based on lifting maps to compact Riemann surfaces.
