We study the algebraic dimension a(X) of a compact hyperk ¨ahler manifold of dimension 2n. We show that a(X) is at most n unless X is projective. If a compact K¨ahler manifold with algebraic dimension 0 and Kodaira dimension 0 has a minimal model, then only the values 0, n and 2n are possible. In case of middle dimension, the algebraic reduction is holomorphic Lagrangian. If n = 2, then - without any assumptions - the algebraic dimension only takes the values 0, 2 and 4. The paper also gives structure results for ”generalised hyperk¨ahler” manifolds and studies nef lines bundles.

We prove pinching estimates for dual flows provided the curvature function used in the inverse flow in de Sitter space is convex.

First we prove a new inequality comparing uniformly the relative volume of a Borel subset with respect to any given complex euclidean ball$B$⊂$C$^{$n$}with its relative logarithmic capacity in$C$^{$n$}with respect to the same ball$B$. An analogous comparison inequality for Borel subsets of euclidean balls of any generic real subspace of$C$^{$n$}is also proved.
