Abstract In this paper, we prove that if a compact Kähler manifold X has a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega $ such that $(T_X,\omega )$ is uniformly RC-positive, then X is projective and rationally connected. Conversely, we show that, if a projective manifold X is rationally connected, then there exists a uniformly RC-positive complex Finsler metric on $T_X$ .

AbstractLet X be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m be closed positive currents of bi-degree (1, 1) on X and T an arbitrary closed positive current on X. We introduce the non-pluripolar product relative to T of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m . We recover the well-known non-pluripolar product of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m when T is the current of integration along X. Our main results are a monotonicity property of relative non-pluripolar products, a necessary condition for currents to be of relative full mass intersection in terms of Lelong numbers, and the convexity of weighted classes of currents of relative full mass intersection. The former two results are new even when T is the current of integration along X.

We prove that the canonical bundle of a foliation by curves on a compact Kähler manifold is pseudoeffective, unless the foliation is a (special) foliation by rational curves.

Abstract A conjecture of Kotschick predicts that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ fibres smoothly over the circle if and only if it admits a holomorphic one-form without zeros. In this paper we develop an approach to this conjecture and verify it in dimension two. In a joint paper with Hao [ 10], we use our approach to prove Kotschick’s conjecture for smooth projective three-folds.

It is shown that D=4N=1 SUSY Yang-Mills theory with an appropriate supermultiplet of matter can be twisted on a compact Kähler manifold. The conditions for cancellation of anomalies of BRST charge are found. The twisted theory has an appropriate BRST charge. We find a nontrivial set of physical operators defined as classes of the cohomology of this BRST operator. We prove that the physical correlators are independent of the external Kähler metric up to a power of a ratio of two Ray-Singer torsions for the Dolbeault cohomology complex on a Kähler manifold. The correlators of local physical operators turn out to be independent of antiholomorphic coordinates defined with a complex structure on the Kähler manifold. However, a dependence of the correlators on holomorphic coordinates can still remain. For a hyper-Kähler metric the physical correlators turn out to be independent of all coordinates of insertions of local physical operators.

A Moishezon manifold is a projective manifold if and only if it is a Kähler manifold [13]. However, a singular Moishezon space is not generally projective even if it is a Kähler space [14]. Vuono [19] has given a projectivity criterion for Moishezon spaces with isolated singularities. In this paper we shall prove that a Moishezon space with 1-rational singularities is projective when it is a Kähler space (Theorem 1.6). We shall use Theorem 1.6 to show the density of projective symplectic varieties in the Kuranishi family of a (singular) symplectic variety (Theorem 2.4), which is a generalization of the result by Fujiki [4, Theorem 4.8] to the singular case. In the Appendix we give a supplement and a correction to the previous paper [15] where singular symplectic varieties are dealt with.

While a number of special properties of differential forms on a Kähler manifold have been mentioned in the literature on complex manifolds, no systematic account has yet been given of the theory of differential forms on a compact Kähler manifold. The purpose of this paper is to show how a general theory of these forms can be developed. It follows the general plan of de Rham's paper (2) on differential forms on real manifolds, and frequent use will be made of results contained in that paper. For convenience we begin by giving a brief account of the theory of complex tensors on a complex manifold, and of the differential geometry associated with a Hermitian, and in particular a Kählerian, metric on such a manifold.

Abstract Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri, and Vafa constructed a real-valued invariant for Calabi–Yau manifolds, which is called the BCOV invariant. In this paper, we consider a pair $(X,Y)$, where $X$ is a compact Kähler manifold and $Y\in \big |K_X^m\big |$ with $m\in{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash \{0,-1\}$. We extend the BCOV invariant to such pairs. If $m=-2$ and $X$ is a rigid del Pezzo surface, the extended BCOV invariant is equivalent to Yoshikawa’s equivariant BCOV invariant. If $m=1$, the extended BCOV invariant is well behaved under blowup. It was conjectured that birational Calabi–Yau three-folds have the same BCOV invariant. As an application of our extended BCOV invariant, we show that this conjecture holds for Atiyah flops.

In this paper, we start the program of the existence of the smooth equivariant geodesics in the equivariant Mabuchi moduli space of Kähler metrics on type II cohomogeneity one compact Kähler manifold. In this paper, we deal with the manifolds [Formula: see text] obtained by blowing up the diagonal of the product of two copies of a [Formula: see text].

Abstract We consider a subset S of the complex Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(n, ℂ) and the cone C(S) of curvature operators which are nonnegative on S. We show that C(S) defines a Ricci flow invariant curvature condition if S is invariant under AdSO(n, ℂ). The analogue for Kähler curvature operators holds as well. Although the proof is very simple and short, it recovers all previously known invariant nonnegativity conditions. As an application we reprove that a compact Kähler manifold with positive orthogonal bisectional curvature evolves to a manifold with positive bisectional curvature and is thus biholomorphic to ℂℙn. Moreover, the methods can also be applied to prove Harnack inequalities.
