Abstract

In this paper we prove that on a special type of minimal ruled surface, which is an example of a `pseudo-Hirzebruch surface', every Kähler class admits a certain kind of `higher extremal Kähler metric', which is a Kähler metric whose corresponding top Chern form and volume form satisfy a nice equation motivated by analogy with the equation characterizing an extremal Kähler metric. From an already proven result, it will follow that this specific higher extremal Kähler metric cannot be a `higher constant scalar curvature Kähler (hcscK) metric', which is defined, again by analogy with the definition of a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric, to be a Kähler metric whose top Chern form is harmonic. By doing a certain set of computations involving the top Bando-Futaki invariant we will conclude that hcscK metrics do not exist in any Kähler class on this surface.

Futaki invariant on Hopf manifolds

The Futaki invariant is a fundamental tool in Kähler geometry representing an obstruction to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics. Recently, it was generalized to compact complex manifolds. In this paper, we prove that it vanishes on Hopf manifolds.

Remarks on potential functions of noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds

In this article, we study the set of potential functions on noncompact quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that the space of all positive potential functions on a three-dimensional noncompact quasi-Einstein manifold has dimension at most two, and that equality holds if and only if the manifold is isometric to a product $B\times\mathbb{R}$, where $B$ is a $λ$-Einstein surface or one of the examples obtained by L. Berard Bergery and described in Besse's book. Moreover, we prove that any asymptotically flat $n$-dimensional quasi-Einstein manifold with $λ=0$ is necessarily Ricci-flat.

Adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes

Higher gauge theory for non-abelian structure 2-groups faces significant challenges when extending beyond the fake-flat sector, which suffers from limited applicability in physical models. A promising resolution involves equipping 2-groups with additional structure, known as adjustments. We present a comprehensive theory of adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes, classified by Saemann's adjusted version of non-abelian differential cohomology. This theory enables, in particular, a new coordinate-independent formulation of Tellez-Dominguez' lifting theorem, establishing a correspondence between adjusted connections on non-abelian bundle gerbes and connections on abelian bundle 2-gerbes.
