We characterize conformally flat spaces as the only compact self-dual manifolds which are U(1)-equivariantly and conformally decomposable into two complete self-dual Einstein manifolds with common conformal infinity. A geometric characterization of such conformally flat spaces is also given.

Consider a compact K¨ahler manifold Mm with Ricci curvature lower bound RicM ≥ −2 (m + 1) . Assume that its universal cover fM has maximal bottom of spectrum 1 fM = m2. Then we prove that fM is isometric to the complex hyperbolic space CHm.

We survey our recent new results on the geometry of Teichmuller and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces and Calabi-Yau manifolds.
