Abstract

This paper is a follow-up to an earlier paper math.DG/0410260 on desingularizations of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with a conical singularity. In math.DG/0410260 we study Calabi-Yau 3-folds M_0 with a conical singularity at x modelled on some Calabi-Yau cone V, and construct a desingularization of M_0 by gluing in an Asymptotically Conical (AC) Calabi-Yau 3-fold Y to M_0 at x. In this paper, we shall investigate a similar desingularization problem on special Lagrangian (SL) 3-folds in the corresponding Calabi-Yau 3-folds. More precisely, suppose M_0 is now a Calabi-Yau 3-fold with finitely many conical singularities at x_i modelled on Calabi-Yau cones V_i for i=1,...,n, and N_0 an SL 3-fold in M_0 with conical singularities at the same points x_i modelled on SL cones C_i in V_i. Let Y_i be an AC Calabi-Yau 3-fold modelled on the Calabi-Yau cones V_i, and L_i an AC SL 3-fold in Y_i modelled on the SL cones C_i. We then simultaneously desingularize M_0 and N_0 by gluing in rescaled Y_i and L_i at each x_i. The construction is achieved by applying Joyce's analytic result [16, Thm. 5.3] on deforming Lagrangian submanifolds to nearby special Lagrangian submanifolds. As an application, we take M_0 to be the orbifold T^6/\mathbb{Z}_3 and construct some singular SL 3-folds N_0 in M_0 and AC SL 3-folds L_i in the corresponding Y_i, and glue them together to obtain examples of nonsingular SL 3-folds in the desingularized Calabi-Yau 3-folds.

The $q$-deformed cross-ratio: modular invariants and Coxeter friezes

We introduce and study a scalar $q$-deformation of the cross-ratio on $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb Q)$. Our construction is based on the notion of $q$-deformed rational numbers due to Morier-Genoud and the author. The $q$-cross-ratio is invariant under $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, while elements of determinant $-1$ of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ act by $q\mapsto q^{-1}$. A principal result is its relation to $q$-deformed Coxeter friezes associated with rational polygons. The expansion at $q=e^h$ yields an algebraically independent sequence of modular invariants and relative invariants, although this sequence does not separate modular orbits. We compute the first two nonconstant coefficients of this expansion explicitly.

The Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in dimension five

We show that the sharp Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds for domains in complete simply connected Riemannian $5$-manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature, which establishes the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture in that dimension. The main step is a sharp inequality for constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces, proved via integrals over pairs of boundary points, in the spirit of Banchoff-Pohl, together with an estimate for Jacobi fields along geodesic chords. The inequality persists for boundaries of isoperimetric regions in geodesic balls, whose mean curvature is constant only on the free part. An isoperimetric-profile argument, after Kleiner, completes the proof. Our method also gives a new proof in dimension $3$.

On static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit relations and estimates involving the volume of the manifold and the geometry of its boundary. In the scalar-flat case, we prove global splitting and Ricci-flat rigidity results, including for disconnected boundary, while in the negative scalar curvature case we establish a sharp mean-curvature bound and characterize the equality case by an exponential warped-product structure. The proofs rely essentially on the study of the associated Einstein manifold. In appendix we derive several identities for static manifolds with boundary and discuss the associated Einstein manifold technique in the boundaryless setting.
