We show the intersection of a compact almost complex subvariety of dimension 4 and a compact almost complex submanifold of codimension 2 is a J-holomorphic curve. This is a generalization of positivity of intersections for J-holomorphic curves in almost complex 4-manifolds to higher dimensions. As an application, we discuss pseudoholomorphic sections of a complex line bundle. We introduce a method to produce J-holomorphic curves using the differential geometry of almost Hermitian manifolds. When our main result is applied to pseudoholomorphic maps, we prove the singularity subset of a pseudoholomorphic map between almost complex 4-manifolds is J-holomorphic. Building on this, we show degree one pseudoholomorphic maps between almost complex 4-manifolds are actually birational morphisms in pseudoholomorphic category.

In this paper, we construct complete constant scalar curvature Khler (cscK) metrics on the complement of the zero section in the total space of O ( - 1 ) 2 over O ( - 1 ) 2 , which is biholomorphic to the smooth part of the cone <i>C</i> ₀ in O ( - 1 ) 2 defined by equation O ( - 1 ) 2 . On its small resolution and its deformation, we also consider complete cscK metrics and find that if the cscK metrics are homogeneous, then they must be Ricci-flat.

Let <i>L</i> be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact Khler manifold <i>X</i>. Motivated by mirror symmetry, we study the deformed HermitianYangMills equation on <i>L</i>, which is the line bundle analogue of the special Lagrangian equation in the case that <i>X</i> is CalabiYau. We show that this equation is the Euler-Lagrange equation for a positive functional, and that solutions are unique global minimizers. We provide a necessary and sufficient criterion for existence in the case that <i>X</i> is a Khler surface. For the higher dimensional cases, we introduce a line bundle version of the Lagrangian mean curvature flow, and prove convergence when <i>L</i> is ample and <i>X</i> has non-negative orthogonal bisectional curvature.

THEOREM 1. Let M be a compact two dimensional complex manifold with zero Euler number. Suppose there is a basis {a,, aZ, a3, a3 of the first real cohomology group H(M, R) such that the cup product a, U u2 U (Ye U LY~ is not zero. Then either M is biholomorphic to the complex torus or M is covered by the euclidean space.

Rigidity question have attracted much interest in the past. In the compact case, we have the famous work of Calabi and Vesentini [3] and Mostow [17]. Whereas Calabi and Vesentini proved a local version, namely that compact quotients of bounded symmetric domains admit no nontrivial deformations in case the domain is irreducible and of complex dimension at least 2, Mostow proved a global rigidity result, at the expense, however, of working only within the class of quotients of symmetric domains. Mostow's work is based on quasiconformal mappings. A different analytic approach was recently undertaken by Siu [22]. If M is a compact K~ ihler manifold diffeomorphic (or, more generally, homotopically equivalent) to a quotient N of an irreducible bounded symmetric domain, he studied a harmonic homotopy equivalence the existence of which is assured by the theorem of EeUs and Sampson, and demonstrated that

This note answers some questions on holomorphic curves and their distribution in an algebraic surface of positive index. More specifically, we exploit the existence of natural negatively curved "pseudo-Finsler" metrics on a surface S of general type whose Chern numbers satisfy c(2)1&gt;2c2 to show that a holomorphic map of a Riemann surface to S whose image is not in any rational or elliptic curve must satisfy a distance decreasing property with respect to these metrics. We show as a consequence that such a map extends over isolated punctures. So assuming that the Riemann surface is obtained from a compact one of genus q by removing a finite number of points, then the map is actually algebraic and defines a compact holomorphic curve in S. Furthermore, the degree of the curve with respect to a fixed polarization is shown to be bounded above by a multiple of q - 1 irrespective of the map.

In this paper, we develop an approach to the study of compact K~ hler manifolds which admit mappings of everywhere maximal rank into quotients of polydiscs, eg into Riemann surfaces or products of them. One main tool will be a detailed study of the harmonic maps in the corresponding homotopy classes (for definition and general properties of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds see [3]). Starting with a result of Siu, we prove in Sect. 2 that the local level sets of the components of these mappings are analytic subvarieties of the domain. This, together with a generalization of the similarity principle of Bers and Vekua which is proved in the appendix and a residue argument, enables us to give conditions involving the Chern and K~ ihler classes of the considered manifolds, under which this harmonic map is of maximal rank everywhere and, in case domain and image have the same dimension, in

This paper solves the problem of computing conformal structures of general 2-manifolds represented as triangle meshes. We compute conformal structures in the following way: first compute homology bases from simplicial complex structures, then construct dual cohomology bases and diffuse them to harmonic 1-forms. Next, we construct bases of holomorphic differentials. We then obtain period matrices by integrating holomorphic differentials along homology bases. We also study the global conformal mapping between genus zero surfaces and spheres, and between general meshes and planes. Our method of computing conformal structures can be applied to tackle fundamental problems in computer aid design and computer graphics, such as geometry classification and identification, and surface global parametrization.

The case of dimension two was proved by Andreotti-Frankel [-7] and the case of dimension three by Mabuchi [18] using the result of Kobayashi-Ochiai [12]. Our method of proof uses harmonic maps and the characterization of the complex projective space obtained by Kobayashi-Ochiai [15]. According to the result of Kobayashi-Ochiai the complex projective space of dimension n is characterized by the fact that its first Chern class equals 2c1 (F) for some 2&gt; n+ 1 and some positive holomorphic line bundle F over it. Since by the result of Bishop-Goldberg [-2] the second Betti number of a compact Kiihler manifold M of positive bisectional curvature is 1, for the Main Theorem it suffices to show that ca (M) is 2 times a generator of H2 (M, 7Z.) for some 2&gt; 1+ dim M. This can be done by proving that a generator of the free part of H2 (M, Z) can be represented by a rational curve, because the tangent bundle of M restricted to the rational curve splits into a direct sum of holomorphic line bundles over the rational curve according to the result of Grothendieck [-11]. The existence of the rational curve is obtained in the following way. According to the result of Sacks-Uhlenbeck [22] and its improved formulation by Meeks-Yau [-19], the infimum of the energies of maps from S 2 to M representing the generator of rcz (M) can be achieved by a sum of stable harmonic maps f~ from S 2 to M (1&lt; i&lt; m). The key step in our proof is to show that each f~ is either holomorphic or conjugate holomorphic. The known methods of proving the complex-analyticity of a harmonic map use the formula for the Laplacian of the energy function [23, 25, 26] or a variation of it [24]. Here we use

In a recent series of articles, the authors have studied the transition behavior of partial Bergman kernels $\Pi_{k, [E_1, E_2]} (z,w)$ and the associated DOS (density of states) $\Pi_{k, [E_1, E_2]} (z)$ across the interface $\mathcal{C}$ between the allowed and forbidden regions. Partial Bergman kernels are Toeplitz Hamiltonians quantizing Morse functions $H : M \to \mathbb{R}$ on a Kähler manifold. The allowed region is $H^{-1} ([E_1, E_2])$ and the interface $\mathcal{C}$ is its boundary. In prior articles it was assumed that the endpoints $E_j$ were regular values of $H$. This article completes the series by giving parallel results when an endpoint is a critical value of $H$. In place of the Erf scaling asymptotics in a $k^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ tube around $\mathcal{C}$ for regular interfaces, one obtains $\delta$-asymptotics in $k^{-\frac{1}{4}}$ tubes around singular points of a critical interface. In $k^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ tubes, the transition law is given by the osculating metaplectic propagator.

A generalization of a result of Wermer concerning the existence of polynomial hulls without analytic discs is presented. As a consequence it is shown that there exists a Cantor set X in C3 whose polynomial hull is strictly larger than X but contains no analytic discs.

We continue the study in [2] in the setting of weighted pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body P in (R+)d. Our goal is to establish a large deviation principle in this setting specifying the rate function in terms of P-pluripotential-theoretic notions. As an important preliminary step, we first give an existence proof for the solution of a Monge–Ampère equation in an appropriate finite energy class. This is achieved using a variational approach.

In this paper we prove new embedding results for compactly supported deformations of CR submanifolds of Cn+d: We show that if M is a 2-pseudoconcave CR submanifold of type (n,d) in Cn+d, then any compactly supported CR deformation stays in the space of globally CR embeddable in Cn+d manifolds. This improves an earlier result, where M was assumed to be a quadratic 2-pseudoconcave CR submanifold of Cn+d. We also give examples of weakly 2-pseudoconcave CR manifolds admitting compactly supported CR deformations that are not even locally CR embeddable.

It is proved that dicritical singularities of real analytic Levi-flat sets coincide with the set of Segre degenerate points.

For families of continuous plurisubharmonic functions we show that, in a local sense, separately bounded above implies bounded above.

We study analytic integrable deformations of the germ of a holomorphic foliation given by df=0 at the origin 0∈Cn,n≥3. We consider the case where f is a germ of an irreducible and reduced holomorphic function. Our central hypotheses is that, outside of a dimension ≤n−3 analytic subset Y⊂X, the analytic hypersurface Xf:(f=0) has only normal crossings singularities. We then prove that, as germs, such deformations also exhibit a holomorphic first integral, depending analytically on the parameter of the deformation. This applies to the study of integrable germs writing as ω=df+fη where f is quasi-homogeneous. Under the same hypotheses for Xf:(f=0) we prove that ω also admits a holomorphic first integral. Finally, we conclude that an integrable germ ω=adf+fη admits a holomorphic first integral provided that: (i) Xf:(f=0) is irreducible with an isolated singularity at the origin 0∈Cn,n≥3; (ii) the algebraic multiplicities of ω and f at the origin satisfy ν(ω)=ν(df). In the case of an isolated singularity for (f=0) the writing ω=adf+fη is always assured so that we conclude the existence of a holomorphic first integral. Some questions related to Relative Cohomology are naturally considered and not all of them answered.

Let X be a compact quotient of the product of the real Heisenberg group H _4m+1 of dimension 4m + 1 and the three-dimensional real Euclidean space R ³ . A left-invariant hypercomplex structure on H _4m+1 R ³ descends onto the compact quotient X. The space X is a hyperholomorphic fibration of 4-tori over a 4m-torus. We calculate the parameter space and obstructions to deformations of this hypercomplex structure on X. Using our calculations, we show that all small deformations generate invariant hypercomplex structures on X but not all of them arise from deformations of the lattice. This is in contrast to the deformations on the 4m-torus.

A complex symplectic structure on a Lie algebra h is an integrable complex structure J with a closed non-degenerate (2, 0)-form. It is determined by J and the real part of the (2, 0)-form. Suppose that h is a semi-direct product g V, and both g and V are Lagrangian with respect to and totally real with respect to J. This note shows that g V is its own weak mirror image in the sense that the associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras controlling the extended deformations of and J are isomorphic. The geometry of (, J) on the semi-direct product g V is also shown to be equivalent to that of a torsion-free flat symplectic connection on the Lie algebra g. By further exploring a relation between (J, ) with hypersymplectic Lie algebras, we find an inductive process to build families of complex symplectic algebras of dimension 8 n from the data of the 4 n-dimensional ones.

It is shown that an HKT space with closed parallel potential 1-form has D (2, 1; 1) symmetry. Every locally conformally hyper-Khler manifold generates this type of geometry. The HKT spaces with closed parallel potential 1-form arising in this way are characterized by their symmetries and an inhomogeneous cubic condition on their torsion.

This article provides a complete description of the differential Gerstenhaber algebras of all nilpotent complex structures on any real six-dimensional nilpotent algebra. As an application, we classify all pseudo-Khlerian complex structures on six-dimensional nilpotent algebras whose differential Gerstenhaber algebra is quasi-isomorphic to that of the symplectic structure. In a weak sense of mirror symmetry, this gives a classication of pseudo-Khler structures on six-dimensional nilpotent algebras whose mirror images are themselves.

The geometry arising from Michelson &amp; Strominger's study of =4<i>B</i> supersymmetric quantum mechanics with superconformal <i>D</i>(2, 1; )-symmetry is a hyperKhler manifold with torsion (HKT) together with a special homothety. It is shown that different parameters are related via changes in potentials for the HKT target spaces. For 0, 1, we describe how each such HKT manifold <i>M</i> ^<i>4m</i> is derived from a space <i>N</i> ^<i>4m4</i> which is quaternionic Khler with torsion and carries an Abelian instanton.

Weak mirror symmetry relates a manifold with complex structure to another manifold equipped with a symplectic structure through a quasiisomorphism of associated differential Gerstenhaber algebras. The two manifolds are then mirror partners. In this paper we consider the analogous problem on Lie algebras. In particular we show that the semi-direct product of a Lie algebra equipped with a torsion-free flat connection with itself is a mirror partner of a semi-direct product of the same Lie algebra with its dual space. For nilpotent algebras this analysis on Lie algebras can be applied to the compact quotients of the underlying nilpotent group. We classify mirror pairs among 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras that have the semi-direct product structure as well as mirror pairs admitting the more involved special Lagrangian structure, namely compatible complex and symplectic structures on the same space.
