A transformation of an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M , which transforms every geodesic circle of M into a geodesic circle, is called a concircular transformation. A concircular transformation is always a conformal transformation. Here geodesic circle means a curve in M whose first curvature is constant and second curvature is identically zero. Thus, the geometry of concircular transformat...

Building on previous results [17, 35], we complete the classification of compact oriented Einstein 4-manifolds with $$\det (W^+) > 0$$ . There are, up to diffeomorphism, exactly 15 manifolds that carry such metrics, and, each these manifolds, metrics sweep out one connected component corresponding moduli space.

Let M = M1 ×M2 be a product of complex manifolds. We prove that M cannot admit a complete Kähler metric with sectional curvature K < c < 0 and Ricci curvature Ric > d, where c and d are arbitrary constants. In particular, a product domain in Cn cannot cover a compact Kähler manifold with negative sectional curvature. On the other hand, we observe that there are complete Kähler metrics with nega...

We study stability of non-compact gradient Kähler-Ricci flow solitons with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature. Our main result is that any compactly supported perturbation and appropriately decaying perturbations of the Kähler potential of the soliton will converge to the original soliton under Kähler-Ricci flow as time tends to infinity. To obtain this result, we construct appropriate ...
