On Kähler manifolds with positive orthogonal bisectional curvature

For any irreducible Kähler manifold which admits positive orthogonal bisectional curvature and C₁>0, if this positivity condition is preserved under the flow, then the underlying manifold is biholomorphic to CPn.     

ON A KAHLER VERSION OF CHEEGER-GROMOLL-PERELMAN＇S SOUL THEOREM

In this note, we will prove a Kahler version of Cheeger-Gromoll-Perelman＇s soul theorem, only assuming the sectional curvature is nonnegative and bisectional curvature is positive at one point.     

The Totally Geodesic Coisotropic Submanifolds in Kähler Manifolds

In this paper, we consider the coisotropic submanifolds in a Kähler manifold of nonnegative holomorphic curvature. We prove an intersection theorem for compact totally geodesic coisotropic submanifolds and discuss some topological obstructions for the existence of such submanifolds. Our results apply to Lagrangian submanifolds and real hypersurfaces since the class of coisotropic submanifolds includes them. As an application, we give a fixed-point theorem for compact Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic curvature. Also, our results can be further extended to nearly Kähler manifolds.     

Relations between the Kähler cone and the balanced cone of a Kähler manifold

In this paper, we consider a natural map from the Kähler cone of a compact Kähler manifold to its balanced cone. We study its injectivity and surjectivity. We also give an analytic characterization theorem on a nef class being Kähler.     

Compact Kähler manifolds with elliptic homotopy type

Simply connected compact Kähler manifolds of dimension up to three with elliptic homotopy type are characterized in terms of their Hodge diamonds. For surfaces there are only two possibilities, namely h1,1?2 with hp,q=0 for p≠q. For threefolds, there are three possibilities, namely h1,1?3 with hp,q=0 for p≠q. This characterization in terms of the Hodge diamonds is applied to explicitly classify the simply connected Kähler surfaces and Fano threefolds with elliptic homotopy type.     

Hyper-Hermitian Quaternionic Kähler Manifolds

We call a quaternionic Kähler manifold with nonzero scalar curvature, whosequaternionic structure is trivialized by a hypercomplex structure, ahyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifold. We prove that every locallysymmetric hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifold is locally isometricto the quaternionic projective space or to the quaternionic hyperbolic space.We describe locally the hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifolds withclosed Lee form and show that the only complete simply connected suchmanifold is the quaternionic hyperbolic space.     

Parallel Translation on K¨ahler Manifolds

In this paper, the author establishs a real-valued function on K¨ahler manifolds by holomorphic sectional curvature under parallel translation. The author proves if such functions are equal for two simply-connected, complete K¨ahler manifolds, then they are holomorphically isometric.     

Twisted holomorphic chains and vortex equations over non-compact Kähler manifolds

In this paper, we study twisted holomorphic chains and related gauge equations over non-compact Kähler manifolds. We use the heat flow method to solve the Dirichlet boundary problem for the related gauge equations, and prove a Hitchin-Kobayashi type correspondence for twisted holomorphic chain over some non-compact Kähler manifolds.     

Formality in generalized Kähler geometry

We prove that no nilpotent Lie algebra admits an invariant generalized Kähler structure. This is done by showing that a certain differential graded algebra associated to a generalized complex manifold is formal in the generalized Kähler case, while it is never formal for a generalized complex structure on a nilpotent Lie algebra.     

A universal formula for deformation quantization on Kähler manifolds

We give an explicit local formula for any formal deformation quantization, with separation of variables, on a Kähler manifold. The formula is given in terms of differential operators, parametrized by acyclic combinatorial graphs.     

A compactness result for Kähler Ricci solitons

In this paper we prove a compactness result for compact Kähler Ricci gradient shrinking solitons. If (Mi,gi) is a sequence of Kähler Ricci solitons of real dimension n?4, whose curvatures have uniformly bounded Ln/2 norms, whose Ricci curvatures are uniformly bounded from below and μ(gi,1/2)?A (where μ is Perelman's functional), there is a subsequence (Mi,gi) converging to a compact orbifold (M_∞,g_∞) with finitely many isolated singularities, where g_∞ is a Kähler Ricci soliton metric in an orbifold sense (satisfies a soliton equation away from singular points and smoothly extends in some gauge to a metric satisfying Kähler Ricci soliton equation in a lifting around singular points).     

Vanishing theorems for ach Kähler manifolds and harmonic maps

We discuss a class of complete Kähler manifolds which are asymptotically complex hyperbolic near infinity. The main result is vanishing theorems for the second L ² cohomology of such manifolds when it has positive spectrum. We also generalize the result to the weighted Poincaré inequality case and establish a vanishing theorem provided that the weighted function ρ is of sub-quadratic growth of the distance function. We also obtain a vanishing theorem of harmonic maps on manifolds which satisfies the weighted Poincaré inequality.     

Families of Lagrangian fibrations on hyperkähler manifolds

A holomorphic Lagrangian fibration on a holomorphically symplectic manifold is a holomorphic map with Lagrangian fibers. It is known (due to Huybrechts) that a given compact manifold admits only finitely many holomorphic symplectic structures, up to deformation. We prove that a given compact, simple hyperkähler manifold with _b2?7$b_2?7$ admits only finitely many deformation types of holomorphic Lagrangian fibrations. We also prove that all known hyperkähler manifolds are never Kobayashi hyperbolic.     

Extremal Kähler metrics on projective bundles over a curve

Let M=P(E) be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle E→Σ over a compact complex curve Σ of genus ?2. Building on ideas of Fujiki (1992) [27], we prove that M admits a Kähler metric of constant scalar curvature if and only if E is polystable. We also address the more general existence problem of extremal Kähler metrics on such bundles and prove that the splitting of E as a direct sum of stable subbundles is necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of extremal Kähler metrics in Kähler classes sufficiently far from the boundary of the Kähler cone. The methods used to prove the above results apply to a wider class of manifolds, called rigid toric bundles over a semisimple base, which are fibrations associated to a principal torus bundle over a product of constant scalar curvature Kähler manifolds with fibres isomorphic to a given toric Kähler variety. We discuss various ramifications of our approach to this class of manifolds.     

Compact Almost Kähler Manifolds with Divergence-Free Weyl Conformal Tensor

We prove that a compact almost Kähler manifold satisfying that a certain part of thedivergence W of the Weyl conformal tensor W vanishes isKähler.     

On the Constant Type of Almost Hermitian Manifolds

We suggest a most natural generalization of the notion of constant type for nearly Kählerian manifolds introduced by A. Gray to arbitrary almost Hermitian manifolds. We prove that the class of almost Hermitian manifolds of zero constant type coincides with the class of Hermitian manifolds. We show that the class of G ₁-manifolds of zero constant type coincides with the class of 6-dimensional G ₁-manifolds with a non-integrable structure. Finally, we prove that the class of normal G ₂-manifolds of nonzero constant type coincides with the class of 4-dimensional G ₂-manifolds with a nonintegrable structure.     

Kähler Surfaces of Positive Scalar Curvature

We construct Kähler metrics of positive scalar curvature on almost all blown-up ruled surfaces of arbitrary genus. The metrics have an explicit form on ruled surfaces blown up at most twice successively from a minimal model. Our surfaces are generic in the sense that they make up a dense set in the deformations of a given ruled surface.     

Four-Dimensional Almost Kähler Einstein and *-Einstein Manifolds

In the framework of studying the integrability of almost Kähler manifolds, we prove that a four-dimensional almost Kähler Einstein and -Einstein manifold is a Kähler manifold. Further, we estimate the *-scalar curvature of a four-dimensional compact almost Kähler Einstein and weakly *-Einstein manifold with negative scalar curvature.     

Weyl Connections and Curvature Properties of CR Manifolds

We announce the existence of metrics of positive sectional curvature onthe 3-Sasakian reductions of S¹¹ by an isometric circleaction.
