Locally Conformally Kähler Manifolds of Algebraic Codimension One

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold is a manifold $M$ which admits a Kähler structure on its universal cover $\tilde M$, in such a way that the monodromy acts conformally on $\tilde M$. Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional compact LCK manifold of algebraic dimension $n-1$. We prove that $M$ is bimeromorphic to the total space of an isotrivial elliptic fibration. Morever, there exists an alteration of $M$ which dominates bimeromorphically a manifold admitting a free action of an elliptic curve.

Dolbeault cohomology of Endo-Pajitnov manifolds

Endo-Pajitnov manifolds are compact non-Kähler manifolds which generalize the Inoue surfaces $S_M$ to higher dimensions. We compute their Dolbeault cohomology and show that they satisfy the Hodge decomposition at the level of dimensions.

Coherent sheaves on subvarieties in Hopf manifolds

We prove a version of GAGA theorem for a normal complex analytic variety $X$ equipped with an invertible holomorphic contraction $γ$ with center in $x$. We show that $X$ admits a natural structure of an affine variety, and any $γ$-equivariant complex analytic reflexive coherent sheaf on $X$ admits a natural algebraic structure. We prove a structure theorem for $X_0:=X\backslash x$, showing that it admits a proper action of ${\Bbb C}^*$, and is isomorphic to the space of non-zero vectors in the total space of an ample line bundle over the projective variety $Z:= X_0/{\mathbb C}^*$ equipped with an orbifold structure. We show that the quotient $M:=X_0/γ$ admits a holomorphic embedding to a Hopf manifold, and, conversely, any normal subvariety $M$ in a Hopf manifold is obtained this way. We prove a form of structure theorem, showing that any reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$, $\dim M > 2$, admits a filtration such that its associated graded subquotients, tensored with an appropriate line bundle, are obtained as pullbacks of coherent sheaves on the projective variety $Z=X_0/{\mathbb C}^*$. This is used to show that any reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$ is filtrable, that is, admits a filtration with associated graded quotients of rank $\leq 1$.

Conformal foliations, Kähler twists and the Weinstein construction

We classify both local and global Kähler structures admitting totally geodesic homothetic foliations with complex leaves. The main building blocks are related to Swann's twists and are obtained by applying Weinstein's method of constructing symplectic bundles to Kähler data. As a byproduct we obtain new classes of: holomorphic harmonic morphisms with fibres of arbitrary dimension from compact Kähler manifolds; non-Kähler balanced metrics conformal to Kähler ones (but compatible with different complex structures). Some classes of non-Einstein constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics are also obtained in this way.

Special non-Kähler metrics -- old and new

We give an account of old and new results concerning many types of non-Kähler metrics, with focus on the problem of their coexistence on compact complex manifolds, and their behaviour at deformations and blow-up. We also describe a mechanism that several authors have used to construct examples of nilmanifolds admitting metrics with certain properties.

Principles of Locally Conformally Kahler Geometry

An LCK (locally conformally Kahler) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kahler covering with monodromy acting by homotheties. Hopf manifolds and their submanifolds are the prime examples. This book presents an introduction to the principles of LCK geometry (the first two parts) and its current situation (the last part). It is supposed to be accessible to master and graduate students of complex geometry. The book contains many exercises of different levels of difficulty. We finish it by a list of open questions.

The Lee--Gauduchon cone on complex manifolds

Let $M$ be a compact complex $n$-manifold. A Gauduchon metric is a Hermitian metric whose fundamental 2-form $ω$ satisfies the equation $dd^c(ω^{n-1})=0$. Paul Gauduchon has proven that any Hermitian metric is conformally equivalent to a Gauduchon metric, which is unique (up to a constant multiplier) in its conformal class. Then $d^c(ω^{n-1})$ is a closed $(2n-1)$-form; the set of cohomology classes of all such forms, called the Lee-Gauduchon cone, is a convex cone, superficially similar to the Kahler cone. We prove that the Lee-Gauduchon cone is a bimeromorphic invariant, and compute it for several classes of non-Kahler manifolds.

Balanced metrics and Gauduchon cone of locally conformally Kahler manifolds

A complex Hermitian $n$-manifold $(M,I, ω)$ is called locally conformally Kahler (LCK) if $dω=θ\wedgeω$, where $θ$ is a closed 1-form, balanced if $ω^{n-1}$ is closed, and SKT if $dIdω=0$. We conjecture that any compact complex manifold admitting two of these three types of Hermitian forms (balanced, SKT, LCK) also admits a Kahler metric, and prove partial results towards this conjecture. We conjecture that the (1,1)-form $-d(Iθ)$ is Bott--Chern homologous to a positive (1,1)-current. This conjecture implies that $(M,I)$ does not admit a balanced Hermitian metric. We verify this conjecture for all known classes of LCK manifolds.

Do products of compact complex manifolds admit LCK metrics?

An LCK (locally conformally Kahler) manifold is a Hermitian manifold which admits a Kahler cover with deck group acting by holomorphic homotheties with respect to the Kahler metric. The product of two LCK manifolds does not have a natural product LCK structure. It is conjectured that a product of two compact complex manifolds is never LCK. We classify all known examples of compact LCK manifolds onto three not exclusive classes: LCK with potential, a class of manifolds we call of Inoue type, and those containing a rational curve. In the present paper, we prove that a product of an LCK manifold and an LCK manifold belonging to one of these three classes does not admit an LCK structure.

Algebraic cones of LCK manifolds with potential

A complex manifold $X$ is called "LCK manifolds with potential" if it can be realized as a complex submanifold of a Hopf manifold. Let $Y$ its $\Z$-covering, considered as a complex submanifold in $C^n \backslash 0$. We prove that $Y$ is algebraic. We call the manifolds obtained this way the algebraic cones, and show that the affine algebraic structure on $Y$ is independent from the choice of $X$. We give several intrinsic definitions of an algebraic cone, and prove that these definitions are equivalent.

Bimeromorphic geometry of LCK manifolds

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold $M$ which has a Kähler structure on its cover, such that the deck transform group acts on it by homotheties. Assume that the Kähler form is exact on the minimal Kähler cover of $M$. We prove that any bimeromorphic map $M'\rightarrow M$ is in fact holomorphic; in other words, $M$ has a unique minimal model. This can be applied to a wide class of LCK manifolds, such as the Hopf manifolds, their complex submanifolds and to OT manifolds.

Holomorphic tensors on Vaisman manifolds

An LCK (locally conformally Kahler) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Hermitian form $ω$ which satisfies $dω=ω\wedge θ$, where $θ$ is a closed 1-form, called the Lee form. An LCK manifold is called Vaisman if the Lee form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection. The dual vector field, called the Lee field, is holomorphic and Killing. We prove that any holomorphic tensor on a Vaisman manifold is invariant with respect to the Lee field. This is used to compute the Kodaira dimension of Vaisman manifolds. We prove that the Kodaira dimension of a Vaisman manifold obtained as a $Z$-quotient of an algebraic cone over a projective manifold $X$ is equal to the Kodaira dimension of $X$. This can be applied to prove the deformational stability of the Kodaira dimension of Vaisman manifolds.

A Calabi-Yau theorem for Vaisman manifolds

A compact complex Hermitian manifold $(M, I, w)$ is called Vaisman if $dw=w\wedge θ$ and the 1-form $θ$, called the Lee form, is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection. The volume form of $M$ is invariant with respect to the action of the vector field $X$ dual to $θ$ (called the Lee field) and the vector field $I(X)$, called { the anti-Lee field}. The cohomology class of $θ$, called the Lee class, plays the same role as the Kahler class in Kahler geometry. We prove that a Vaisman metric is uniquely determined by its volume form and the Lee class, and, conversely, for each Lee class $[θ]$ and each Lee- and anti-Lee-invariant volume form $V$, there exists a Vaisman structure with the volume form $V$ and the Lee class $c[θ]$. This is an analogue of the Calabi-Yau theorem claiming that the Kahler form is uniquely determined by its volume and the cohomology class.

Mall bundles and flat connections on Hopf manifolds

A Mall bundle on a Hopf manifold H is a holomorphic vector bundle whose pullback to the universal cover of H is trivial. We define resonant and non-resonant Mall bundles, generalizing the notion of the resonance in ODE, and prove that a non-resonant Mall bundle always admits a flat holomorphic connection. We use this observation to prove a version of Poincare-Dulac linearization theorem, showing that any non-resonant invertible holomorphic contraction of a complex space is linear in appropriate holomorphic coordinates. We define the notion of resonance in Hopf manifolds, and show that all non-resonant Hopf manifolds are linear; previously, this result was obtained by Kodaira using the Poincare-Dulac theorem.

Deformations of Vaisman manifolds

We construct a type of transverse deformations of a Vaisman manifold, which preserves the canonical foliation. For this construction we only need a basic 1-form with certain properties. We show that such basic 1-forms exist in abundance.

Non-linear Hopf manifolds are locally conformally Kahler

A Hopf manifold is a quotient of $C^n\backslash 0$ by the cyclic group generated by a holomorphic contraction. Hopf manifolds are diffeomorphic to $S^1\times S^{2n-1}$ and hence do not admit Kahler metrics. It is known that Hopf manifolds defined by linear contractions (called linear Hopf manifolds) have locally conformally Kahler (LCK) metrics. In this paper we prove that the Hopf manifolds defined by non-linear holomorphic contractions admit holomorphic embeddings into linear Hopf manifolds, and, moreover they admit LCK metrics.

Lee classes on LCK manifolds with potential

An LCK (locally conformally Kahler) manifold is a complex manifold $(M,I)$ equipped with a Hermitian form $ω$ and a closed 1-form $θ$, called the Lee form, such that $dω=θ\wedgeω$. An LCK manifold with potential is an LCK manifold with a positive Kahler potential on its cover, such that the deck group multiplies the Kahler potential by a constant. A Lee class of an LCK manifold is the cohomology class of the Lee form. We determine the set of Lee classes on LCK manifolds admitting an LCK structure with potential, showing that it is an open half-space in $H^1(M,{\mathbb R})$. For Vaisman manifolds, this theorem was proven in 1994 by Tsukada; we give a new self-contained proof of his result.

Compatibility between non-Kähler structures on complex (nil)manifolds

We study the interplay between the following types of special non-Kähler Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds: it locally conformally Kähler, $k$-Gauduchon, balanced and locally conformally balanced and prove that a locally conformally Kähler compact nilmanifold carrying a balanced or a $k$-Gauduchon metric is necessarily a torus. Combined with a result of Fino and Vezzoni from 2016, this leads to the fact that a compact complex 2-step nilmanifold endowed with whichever two of the following types of metrics: balanced, pluriclosed and locally conformally Kähler is a torus. Moreover, we construct a family of compact nilmanifolds in any dimension carrying both balanced and locally conformally balanced metrics and finally we show a compact complex nilmanifold does not support a left-invariant locally conformally hyperKähler structure.
