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.     

Compatible Almost Complex Structures on Quaternion Kähler Manifolds

Let (M⁴ⁿ,g,Q) be a quaternion Kähler manifold with reduced scalar curvature = K/4n(n + 2). Suppose J is an almost complex structure which is compatible with the quaternionic structure Q and let = – F J be the Lee form of J. We prove the following local results: (1) if J is conformally symplectic, then it is parallel and = 0; (2) if J is cosymplectic, then 0 with equality if and only if J is parallel; (3) if J is integrable, then d is Q-Hermitian and harmonic; and (4) any closed self-dual 2-form = f(g J) ² ₊ = g Q ² is parallel. In Section 5, extending previous results of Salamon [24], we describe a correspondence among conformally balanced J, Killing vector fields X and self-dual 2-forms satisfying the twistor equation.When M⁴ⁿ is compact our main global results are the following: (1) if > 0, then there exists no compatible almost complex structure J; (2) if the first Chern class c₁(T^(1,0) _J M) = 0, then = 0; (3) if = 0 a compatible complex structure J is parallel; and (4) if 0, then no compatible complex structure J exists. The last two results have been proved in [23] by twistor methods.     

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.     

A Note on the Moment Map on Compact Kähler Manifolds

We consider compact Kähler manifolds acted on effectively by a connected compact Lie group K of isometries in a Hamiltonian fashion. We prove that the squared moment map ||||² is constant if and only if K is semisimple and the manifold is biholomorphically and K-equivariantly isometric to a product of a flag manifold and a compact Kähler manifold which is acted on trivially by K.     

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.     

Killing Forms on Quaternion-Kähler Manifolds

We show that every Killing p-form on a compact quaternion manifold has to be parallel for p≥ 2. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): Primary 53C55, 58J50.     

Two-Orbit Kähler Manifolds and Morse Theory

We deal with compact Kähler manifolds M acted on by a compact Lie group K of isometries, whose complexification K has exactly one open and one closed orbit in M. If the K-action is Hamiltonian, we investigate topological and cohomological properties of M.     

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.     

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 main purpose of this paper is to give basic properties of real lightlike hypersurfaces of paraquaternionic manifold and to prove the nonexistence of real lightlike hypersurfaces in paraquaternionic space forms under some conditions. Dedicated to the memory of Professor Aldo Cossu     

Holomorphic Maps from Sasakian Manifolds into K¨ahler Manifolds

The authors consider ±(Φ, J)-holomorphic maps from Sasakian manifolds into Ka¨hler manifolds, which can be seen as counterparts of holomorphic maps in Ka¨hler geometry. It is proved that those maps must be harmonic and basic. Then a Schwarz lemma for those maps is obtained. On the other hand, an invariant in its basic homotopic class is obtained. Moreover, the invariant is just held in the class of basic maps.     

The Geometry of Positive Locally Quaternion Kähler Manifolds

A classification of locally quaternion Kähler manifolds M ⁴ⁿ with positive scalar curvature is obtained as a consequence of J. Wolf's work on space forms of irreducible symmetric spaces. We determine the Betti numbers of such manifolds M ⁴ⁿ as well as of the projective 3-Sasakian manifolds fibering over them. We study the geometry of the quaternion Kähler and locally quaternion Kähler submanifolds for each M ⁴ⁿ, which is particularly significant for 4n = 16 due to its relation with four quaternionic structures on the Grassmannian (R ⁸).     

Szasz Analytic Functions and Noncompact Kähler Toric Manifolds

We show that the classical Szasz analytic function S _N (f)(x) is obtained by applying the pseudo-differential operator f(N ^?1 D _θ ) to the Bergman kernels for the Bargmann–Fock space. The expression generalizes immediately to any smooth polarized noncompact complete toric Kähler manifold, defining the generalized Szasz analytic function \(S_{h^{N}}(f)(x)\). About \(S_{h^{N}}(f)(x)\), we prove that it admits complete asymptotics and there exists a universal scaling limit. As an example, we will further compute \(S_{h^{N}}(f)(x)\) for the Bergman metric on the unit ball.     

On Paraquaternionic Submersions Between Paraquaternionic Kähler Manifolds

In this paper we deal with some properties of a class of semi-Riemannian submersions between manifolds endowed with paraquaternionic structures, proving a result of non-existence of paraquaternionic submersions between paraquaternionic Kähler non-locally hyper para-Kähler manifolds. Then we examine, as an example, the canonical projection of the tangent bundle, endowed with the Sasaki metric, of an almost paraquaternionic Hermitian manifold.     

Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on crepant resolutions of Kähler cones

We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in ${H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat K?hler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every K?hler class in H²_c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A K?hler cone (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is a metric cone over a Sasaki manifold (S, g), i.e. ${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }}${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }} with [`(g)]=dr² +r² g{\bar{g}=dr^2 +r^2 g}, and (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is Ricci-flat precisely when (S, g) Einstein of positive scalar curvature. This result contains as a subset the existence of ALE Ricci-flat K?hler metrics on crepant resolutions p:Y? X=\mathbbC<sup>n</sup> /G{\pi:Y\rightarrow X=\mathbb{C}^n /\Gamma}, with G ì SL(n,\mathbbC){\Gamma\subset SL(n,\mathbb{C})}, due to P. Kronheimer (n = 2) and D. Joyce (n > 2). We then consider the case when X = C(S) is toric. It is a result of A. Futaki, H. Ono, and G. Wang that any Gorenstein toric K?hler cone admits a Ricci-flat K?hler cone metric. It follows that if a toric K?hler cone X = C(S) admits a crepant resolution π : Y → X, then Y admits a T <sup>n</sup> -invariant Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} in every K?hler class in H²_c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A crepant resolution, in this context, is a simplicial fan refining the convex polyhedral cone defining X. We then list some examples which are easy to construct using toric geometry.     

A note on almost Kähler and nearly Kähler submersions

In this paper the integrability of the horizontal distribution of an almost-Kähler or a nearly-Kähler submersion is studied and curvature properties of such submersions are investigated.     

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.
