Homogeneous nearly K?hler manifolds

The structure of nearly K?hler manifolds was studied by Gray in several articles, mainly in Gray (Math Ann 223:233?C248, 1976). More recently, a relevant progress on the subject has been done by Nagy. Among other results, he proved that a complete strict nearly K?hler manifold is locally a Riemannian product of homogeneous nearly K?hler spaces, twistor spaces over quaternionic K?hler manifolds and six-dimensional (6D) nearly K?hler manifolds, where the homogeneous nearly K?hler factors are also 3-symmetric spaces. In the present article, we show some further properties relative to the structure of nearly K?hler manifolds and, using the lists of 3-symmetric spaces given by Wolf and Gray, we display the exhaustive list of irreducible simply connected homogeneous strict nearly K?hler manifolds. For such manifolds, we give details relative to the intrinsic torsion and the Riemannian curvature.     

Holomorphic Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for Non-compact K¨ahler Manifolds

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

On the structure of nearly pseudo-K?hler manifolds

Firstly we give a condition to split off the K?hler factor from a nearly pseudo-K?hler manifold and apply this to get a structure result in dimension 8. Secondly we extend the construction of nearly K?hler manifolds from twistor spaces to negatively curved quaternionic K?hler manifolds and para-quaternionic K?hler manifolds. The class of nearly pseudo-K?hler manifolds obtained from this construction is characterized by a holonomic condition. The combination of these results enables us to give a classification result in (real) dimension 10. Moreover, we show that a strict nearly pseudo-K?hler six-manifold is Einstein.     

Aspherical Kähler manifolds with solvable fundamental group

We survey recent developments which led to the proof of the Benson-Gordon conjecture on Kähler quotients of solvable Lie groups. In addition, we prove that the Albanese morphism of a Kähler manifold which is a homotopy torus is a biholomorphic map. The latter result then implies the classification of compact aspherical Kähler manifolds with (virtually) solvable fundamental group up to biholomorphic equivalence. They are all biholomorphic to complex manifolds which are obtained as a quotient of $\mathbb{C}^{n}We survey recent developments which led to the proof of the Benson-Gordon conjecture on K?hler quotients of solvable Lie groups.

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.     

Hodge decomposition theorem on strongly K(a)hler Finsler manifolds

Faran posed an open problem about analysis on complex Finsler spaces: Is there an analogue of the (θ)-Laplacian? Is there an analogue of Hodge theory? Under the assumption that (M, F) is a compact strongly K(a)hler Finsler manifold, we define a (θ)-Laplacian on the base manifold. Our result shows that the well-known Hodge decomposition theorem in K(a)hler manifolds is still true in the more general compact strongly K(a)hler Finsler manifolds.     

Locally conformal Kähler manifolds with potential

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold M is one which is covered by a Kähler manifold ${\widetilde M}A locally conformally K?hler (LCK) manifold M is one which is covered by a K?hler manifold [(M)\tilde]{\widetilde M} with the deck transformation group acting conformally on [(M)\tilde]{\widetilde M}. If M admits a holomorphic flow, acting on [(M)\tilde]{\widetilde M} conformally, it is called a Vaisman manifold. Neither the class of LCK manifolds nor that of Vaisman manifolds is stable under small deformations. We define a new class of LCK-manifolds, called LCK manifolds with potential, which is closed under small deformations. All Vaisman manifolds are LCK with potential. We show that an LCK-manifold with potential admits a covering which can be compactified to a Stein variety by adding one point. This is used to show that any LCK manifold M with potential, dim M ≥ 3, can be embedded into a Hopf manifold, thus improving similar results for Vaisman manifolds Ornea and Verbitsky (Math Ann 332:121–143, 2005).     

A note on <Emphasis Type="Italic">tt</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-bundles over compact nearly Kähler manifolds

First, we generalize a rigidity result for harmonic maps of Gordon (Gordon (1972) Proc AM Math Soc 33: 433–437) to generalized pluriharmonic maps. We give the construction of generalized pluriharmonic maps from metric tt ^*-bundles over nearly Kähler manifolds. An application of the last two results is that any metric tt ^*-bundle over a compact nearly Kähler manifold is trivial (Theorem A). This result we apply to special Kähler manifolds to show that any compact special Kähler manifold is trivial. This is Lu’s theorem (Lu (1999) Math Ann 313: 711–713) for the case of compact special Kähler manifolds. Further we introduce harmonic bundles over nearly Kähler manifolds and study the implications of Theorem A for tt ^*-bundles coming from harmonic bundles over nearly Kähler manifolds.     

On cohomology of ACH Kähler manifolds

We discuss a class of complete Kähler manifolds which are asymptotically complex hyperbolic near infinity. The main result is a sharp vanishing theorem for the second cohomology of such manifolds under certain assumptions. The borderline case characterizes a Kähler-Einstein manifold constructed by Calabi.

     

Hodge decomposition theorem on strongly K?hler Finsler manifolds

Faran posed an open problem about analysis on complex Finsler spaces: Is there an analogue of the -Laplacian? Is there an analogue of Hodge theory? Under the assumption that (M, F) is a compact strongly K?hler Finsler manifold, we define a -Laplacian on the base manifold. Our result shows that the well-known Hodge decomposition theorem in K?hler manifolds is still true in the more general compact strongly K?hler Finsler manifolds.

Some comparison theorems for K?hler manifolds

In this work, we will verify some comparison results on K?hler manifolds. They are: complex Hessian comparison for the distance function from a closed complex submanifold of a K?hler manifold with holomorphic bisectional curvature bounded below by a constant, eigenvalue comparison and volume comparison in terms of scalar curvature. This work is motivated by comparison results of Li and Wang (J Differ Geom 69(1):43–47, 2005).

Flat nearly Kähler manifolds

We classify flat strict nearly Kähler manifolds with (necessarily) indefinite metric. Any such manifold is locally the product of a flat pseudo-Kähler factor of maximal dimension and a strict flat nearly Kähler manifold of split signature (2m, 2m) with m ≥ 3. Moreover, the geometry of the second factor is encoded in a complex three-form $\zeta \in \Lambda^3 (\mathbb{C}^m)^*We classify flat strict nearly K?hler manifolds with (necessarily) indefinite metric.

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.     

Harmonic maps from compact Kähler manifolds to exceptional hyperbolic spaces

It has been conjectured that a lattice in a noncompact group of real rank one, other than SU(1,n), cannot be isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact Kähler manifold; moreover, it is known to be true for SO(1,n). In this note it is shown that this conjecture also holds for the case of uniform lattices in F_4(?20), the group of isometries of the Cayley hyperbolic plane. The result is a consequence of a classification theorem for harmonic maps between Kähler and Cayley hyperbolic manifolds.     

Examples of non-Kähler Hamiltonian torus actions

An important question with a rich history is the extent to which the symplectic category is larger than the K?hler category. Many interesting examples of non-K?hler symplectic manifolds have been constructed [T] [M] [G]. However, sufficiently large symmetries can force a symplectic manifolds to be K?hler [D] [Kn]. In this paper, we solve several outstanding problems by constructing the first symplectic manifold with large non-trivial symmetries which does not admit an invariant K?hler structure. The proof that it is not K?hler is based on the Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternberg convexity theorem [At] [GS]. Using the ideas of this paper, C. Woodward shows that even the symplectic analogue of spherical varieties need not be K?hler [W]. Oblatum IX-1995 & 3-III-1997     

K(a)hler Manifolds with Almost Non-negative Ricci Curvature

Compact K(a)hler manifolds with semi-positive Ricci curvature have been investigated by various authors. From Peternell's work, if M is a compact K(a)hler n-manifold with semi-positive Ricci curvature and finite fundamental group, then the universal cover has a decomposition (M) ≌ X1 × … × Xm, where Xj is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperK(a)hler manifold, or Xj satisfies Ho(Xj,Ωp) = 0. The purpose of this paper is to generalize this theorem to almost non-negative Ricci curvature K(a)hler manifolds by using the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. Let M be a compact complex n-manifold with non-vanishing Euler number. If for any ε ＞ 0, there exists a K(a)hler structure (Je,ge) on M such that the volume Volge(M) ＜ V, the sectional curvature |K(gε)| ＜ Λ2, and the Ricci-tensor Ric(gε)＞ -εgε, where ∨ and Λ are two constants independent of ε. 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, (X) ≌ X1 × … × Xs, where Xi is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperK(a)hler manifold, or Xi satisfies Ho(Xi, Ωp) = {0}, p ＞ 0.     

The spectrum of the twisted Dirac operator on K?hler submanifolds of the complex projective space

We establish an upper estimate for the small eigenvalues of the twisted Dirac operator on K?hler submanifolds in K?hler manifolds carrying K?hlerian Killing spinors. We then compute the spectrum of the twisted Dirac operator of the canonical embedding ${{\mathbb C}P^d\rightarrow {\mathbb C}P^n}$ in order to test the sharpness of the upper bounds.
