Scalar curvature as moment map in generalized Kähler geometry

Scalar Curvature, Moment Maps, and the Deligne Pairing *

Let X be a compact complex manifold and L → X a positive holomorphic line bundle. Assume that Aut(X,L)/C× is discrete, where Aut(X,L) is the group of holomorphic automorphisms of the pair (X,L). Donaldson [D] has recently proved that if X admits a metric ω ∈ c1(L) of constant scalar curvature, then (X,L) is Hilbert-Mumford stable for k sufficiently large. Since Kähler-Einstein metrics have cons...

Recent Progress in Kähler Geometry ∗

In recent years, there are many progress made in Kähler geometry. In particular, the topics related to the problems of the existence and uniqueness of extremal Kähler metrics, as well as obstructions to the existence of such metrics in general Kähler manifold. In this talk, we will report some recent developments in this direction. In particular, we will discuss the progress recently obtained i...

Torsion in Almost Kähler Geometry *

We study almost Kähler manifolds whose curvature tensor satisfies the second curvature condition of Gray (shortly AK 2). This condition is interpreted in terms of the first canonical Hermitian connection. It turns out that this condition forces the torsion of this connection to be parallel in directions orthogonal to the Kähler nullity of the almost complex structure. We prove a local structure...

On Nearly Kähler Geometry *

We consider complete nearly Kähler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. We prove some metric properties of strict nearly Kähler manifolds and give a sufficient condition for the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian connection. A holonomic condition for a nearly Kähler manifold to be a twistor space over a quaternionic Kähler manifold is given. This enables us to give classifica...
