Hermitian, Ricci-flat toric metrics on non-compact surfaces à la Biquard-Gauduchon

Abstract

Biquard-Gauduchon have shown that conformally Kähler, Ricci-flat, ALF toric metrics on the complement of toric divisors are: the Taub-NUT metric with reversed orientation, in the Kerr-Taub-bolt family or in the Chen-Teo family. The same authors have also given a unified construction for the above families relying on an axi-symmetric harmonic function on $\mathbb{R}^3$. In this work, we reverse this construction and use methods from a paper of the second named author, "Uniqueness among scalar-flat Kähler metrics on non-compact toric 4-manifolds", to show that all conformally Kähler, Ricci-flat, toric metrics on the complement of toric divisors, under some mild assumptions on the associated moment polytope, are among the families above. In particular all such metrics are ALF.

Canonical metrics on holomorphic fibre bundles

In this article we completely describe the existence of canonical metrics, known as optimal symplectic connections, on isotrivial Kähler fibrations. In this setting an optimal symplectic connection is induced from a Hermite--Einstein connection on the holomorphic principal bundle of relative automorphisms, and the Hitchin--Kobayashi correspondence asserts the existence of such a connection precisely when the principal bundle is polystable. Combined with results of Dervan and Sektnan this generates many new examples of cscK metrics on the total space of holomorphic fibre bundles. Our results indicate that in general the optimal symplectic connection equation should be viewed as a generalisation of the Hermite--Einstein equation to holomorphic fibrations where the complex structure of the fibres varies.

Hineva Inequality for Submanifolds of Real Space Forms with Semi-Symmetric Non-Metric Connection

In this paper, we establish the Hineva inequality for submanifolds of a real space form endowed with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We derive a sharp lower bound for the Ricci curvature of the submanifold in terms of the mean curvature vector and the squared norm of the second fundamental form. We apply this inequality to derive the Hineva inequality for several classes of submanifolds.

Localizing a Dirac operator via $J$-holomorphic curves

Let $(M,J)$ be a compact almost hermitian $4$-manifold with a smooth embedded $J$-holomorphic curve $C$ representing the canonical class. Motivated by the symplectic Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau conjecture, we choose a twisted spin$^{\text{c}}$ Dirac operator ${\mathcal D}$ on $M$ satisfying $$ \operatorname{ind}{\mathcal D}=3c_2(M)-c_1^2(M). $$ We then use the curve $C$ to construct a complex-linear perturbation ${\mathcal A}$ of ${\mathcal D}$ whose singular set is $Z_α\sqcup C$, where $Z_α=α^{-1}(0)$ for a transverse section $α$ of $Λ^{1,0}M$ nonvanishing on $C$. Applying Maridakis' index localization theorem, we express $\operatorname{ind}{\mathcal D}$ as the sum of localized contributions: $3c_2(M)$ from $Z_α$ and $-c_1^2(M)$ from $C$.
