Bianchi type A hyper-symplectic and hyper-Kähler metrics in 4D

Abstract

We present a simple explicit construction of hyper-Kaehler and hyper-symplectic (also known as neutral hyper-Kaehler or hyper-parakaehler) metrics in 4D using the Bianchi type groups of class A. The construction underlies a correspondence between hyper-Kaehler and hyper-symplectic structures in dimension four.

Classification of compact manifolds with positive isotropic curvature

We show the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or a quotient manifold of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$ by a cocompact discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$, or a connected sum of a finite number of such manifolds. This extends previous works of Brendle and Chen-Tang-Zhu, and improves a work of Huang. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on compact orbifolds, with the help of the ambient isotopy uniqueness of closed tubular neighborhoods of compact embedded full suborbifolds.

Hard Lefschetz theorem and Hodge-Riemann relations for convex valuations

The algebra of smooth translation-invariant valuations on convex bodies, introduced by S.Alesker in the early 2000s, was in part proved and in part conjectured to satisfy properties formally analogous to those of the cohomology ring of a compact Kähler manifold: Poincaré duality, the hard Lefschetz theorem, and the Hodge-Riemann relations. Our main result establishes the hard Lefschetz theorem and the Hodge-Riemann relations in full generality. As a consequence, we obtain McMullen's quadratic inequalities, which are valid for strongly isomorphic polytopes and known to fail in general, for convex bodies with smooth and strictly positively curved boundary. Our proof is based on elliptic operator theory and on perturbation theory applied to unbounded operators on a natural Hilbert space completion of the space of smooth translation-invariant valuations.

Behaviour of the Schwarzian derivative on long complex projective tubes

The Schwarzian derivative parametrizes the fibres of the space of complex projective structures on a surface as vector bundle over its Teichmüller space. We study its behaviour on long complex projective tubes, and get estimates for the pairing of its real part with infinitesimal earthquakes and graftings. As the real part of their Schwarzian coincides with the differential of the renormalized volume we obtain bounds for the variation of renormalized volume under complex earthquake paths, and its asymptotic behaviour under pinching a compressible curve.
