Homogeneous Generalized Ricci flows II

We relate the generalized Ricci curvature of left-invariant generalized metrics on a Lie group with the Ricci curvature of certain metric Lie algebras. As an application, we prove subconvergence of rescaled generalized Ricci flows to expanding generalized Ricci solitons on simply connected Lie groups with positive semi-definite Killing form. Under the same hypotheses, subconvergence of pluriclosed flows to expanding pluriclosed solitons is also shown. We further prove that left-invariant Bismut-Ricci flat metrics arise as critical points for the generalized scalar curvature functional on unimodular Lie groups. In view of this, we establish dynamical stability for the generalized Ricci flow of so-called standard bi-invariant, Bismut-flat metrics on compact, simply connected, semisimple Lie groups and construct examples of dynamically unstable Bismut-flat metrics which are non-standard.

Long-time existence of the pluriclosed flow on some fibrations

We prove long-time existence of the pluriclosed flow on certain compact quotients of Lie groups for non-invariant initial data, as well as on some holomorphic principal torus bundles over nonpositively curved K\"ahler manifolds. In particular, our results cover the cases of nilmanifolds and almost-abelian solvmanifolds, and provide a new proof of the long-time existence of the pluriclosed flow on certain complex surfaces, originally established by Garcia-Fernandez, Jordan, and Streets. These results follow from a general theorem on holomorphic submersions, which is of independent interest and, in particular, also implies the long-time existence of the pluriclosed flow on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds, as proved by Streets and Wang.

A Levi-type decomposition on two-step solvable Lie algebras with a complex structure

We prove that a large class of $2$-step solvable Lie algebras equipped with a complex structure $J$ admits a Levi-Malcev type decomposition, adapted to $J$. As an application, we prove that the Fino--Vezzoni conjecture holds true for $2$-step solvable unimodular Lie algebras. Finally, we give a structural characterisation of $2$-step, unimodular, completely solvable Lie algebras admitting an SKT metric.

Blowing up Chern-Ricci flat balanced metrics

Given a compact Chern-Ricci flat balanced orbifold, we show that its blow-up at a finite family of smooth points admits constant Chern scalar curvature balanced metrics, extending Arezzo-Pacard's construction to the balanced setting. Moreover, if the orbifold has isolated singularities and admits crepant resolutions, we show that they always carry Chern-Ricci flat balanced metrics, without any further hypothesis. In addition, we discuss the general constant Chern scalar curvature balanced case and discuss another version of the main Theorem assuming the existence of a special (n-2, n-2)-form. We also present several classes of examples in which our results can be applied.

The homogeneous generalized Ricci flow

We develop a framework inspired by Lauret's "bracket flow" to study the generalized Ricci flow, as introduced by Streets, on discrete quotients of Lie groups. As a first application, we establish global existence on solvmanifolds in arbitrary dimensions, a result which is new even for the pluriclosed flow. We also define a notion of generalized Ricci soliton on exact Courant algebroids that is geometrically meaningful and allows for non-trivial expanding examples. On nilmanifolds, we show that these solitons arise as rescaled limits of the generalized Ricci flow, provided the initial metrics have "harmonic torsion", and we classify them in low dimensions. Finally, we provide a new formula for the generalized Ricci curvature of invariant generalized metrics in terms of a moment map for the action of a non-reductive real Lie group.

Special metrics in hypercomplex geometry

We investigate the existence and geometric properties of special hyperhermitian metrics. First of all, we characterise hypercomplex structures with Obata holonomy in $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{H})$ in terms of the existence of quaternionic Gauduchon metrics together with the vanishing of a hypercomplex cohomological invariant. In view of this, the quaternionic Gauduchon and quaternionic balanced conditions are investigated at length: we describe their properties and determine criteria for their existence. Furthermore, we prove an incompatibility result concerning strong HKT and balanced hyperhermitian metrics, confirming an open conjecture by Fino and Vezzoni in the hypercomplex framework. Finally, we introduce an Einstein-type condition, determining basic properties, obstructions and providing examples. In particular, we show that Joyce's manifolds always admit such type of metrics.

On the pluriclosed flow on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds

We investigate the pluriclosed flow on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds. We parametrize left-invariant pluriclosed metrics on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds and we classify the ones which lift to an algebraic soliton of the pluriclosed flow on the universal covering. We further show that the pluriclosed flow starting from a left-invariant pluriclosed metric has a long-time solution $ω_t$ which once normalized collapses to a torus in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense. Moreover the lift of $\tfrac{1}{1+t}ω_t$ to the universal covering of the manifold converges in the Cheeger-Gromov sense to $(\mathbb H^r\times\mathbb C^s, \tildeω_{\infty})$ where $\tildeω_{\infty}$ is an algebraic soliton.

The prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem

The paper is an attempt to resolve the prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem. We look for solutions within the conformal class of a fixed Hermitian metric. We divide the problem in three cases, according to the sign of the Gauduchon degree, that we analyse separately. In the case where the Gauduchon degree is negative, we prove that every non-identically zero and non-positive function is the Chern scalar curvature of a unique metric conformal to the fixed one. Moreover, if there exists a balanced metric with zero Chern scalar curvature, we prove that every smooth function changing sign with negative mean value is the Chern scalar curvature of a metric conformal to the balanced one.
