We show that if a compact Kähler manifold X admits a cohomologically hyperbolic surjective endomorphism then its Kodaira dimension is non-positive. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Guedj in the holomorphic case. The main part of the paper is to determine the geometric structure and the fundamental groups (up to finite index) for those X of dimension 3.

Let [Formula: see text] be a compact Kähler manifold and let [Formula: see text] be a foliation cycle directed by a transversely Lipschitz lamination on [Formula: see text]. We prove that the self-intersection of the cohomology class of [Formula: see text] vanishes as long as [Formula: see text] does not contain currents of integration along compact manifolds. As a consequence, we prove that transversely Lipschitz laminations of low codimension in certain manifolds, e.g. projective spaces, do not carry any foliation cycles except those given by integration along compact leaves.

AbstractWe prove that any compact Kähler manifold bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry contains a rational curve just when the Cartan geometry is inherited from a holomorphic Cartan geometry on a lower dimensional compact Kähler manifold. This shows that many complex manifolds admit no or few holomorphic Cartan geometries.

In this note, we will show that the fundamental group of any negatively δ-pinched [Formula: see text] manifold cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. As a consequence of our proof, we also show that any nonuniform lattice in F4(-20) cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. The corresponding result for uniform lattices was proved by Carlson and Hernández [3]. Finally, we follow Gromov and Thurston [6] to give some examples of negatively δ-pinched manifolds [Formula: see text] of finite volume which, as topological manifolds, admit no hyperbolic metric with finite volume under any smooth structure. This shows that our result for δ-pinched manifolds is a nontrivial generalization of the fact that no nonuniform lattice in SO(n,1)(n≥3) is the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold [21].

AbstractLet X be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m be closed positive currents of bi-degree (1, 1) on X and T an arbitrary closed positive current on X. We introduce the non-pluripolar product relative to T of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m . We recover the well-known non-pluripolar product of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m when T is the current of integration along X. Our main results are a monotonicity property of relative non-pluripolar products, a necessary condition for currents to be of relative full mass intersection in terms of Lelong numbers, and the convexity of weighted classes of currents of relative full mass intersection. The former two results are new even when T is the current of integration along X.

We prove that the canonical bundle of a foliation by curves on a compact Kähler manifold is pseudoeffective, unless the foliation is a (special) foliation by rational curves.

Abstract A conjecture of Kotschick predicts that a compact Kähler manifold $X$ fibres smoothly over the circle if and only if it admits a holomorphic one-form without zeros. In this paper we develop an approach to this conjecture and verify it in dimension two. In a joint paper with Hao [ 10], we use our approach to prove Kotschick’s conjecture for smooth projective three-folds.

It is shown that D=4N=1 SUSY Yang-Mills theory with an appropriate supermultiplet of matter can be twisted on a compact Kähler manifold. The conditions for cancellation of anomalies of BRST charge are found. The twisted theory has an appropriate BRST charge. We find a nontrivial set of physical operators defined as classes of the cohomology of this BRST operator. We prove that the physical correlators are independent of the external Kähler metric up to a power of a ratio of two Ray-Singer torsions for the Dolbeault cohomology complex on a Kähler manifold. The correlators of local physical operators turn out to be independent of antiholomorphic coordinates defined with a complex structure on the Kähler manifold. However, a dependence of the correlators on holomorphic coordinates can still remain. For a hyper-Kähler metric the physical correlators turn out to be independent of all coordinates of insertions of local physical operators.

While a number of special properties of differential forms on a Kähler manifold have been mentioned in the literature on complex manifolds, no systematic account has yet been given of the theory of differential forms on a compact Kähler manifold. The purpose of this paper is to show how a general theory of these forms can be developed. It follows the general plan of de Rham's paper (2) on differential forms on real manifolds, and frequent use will be made of results contained in that paper. For convenience we begin by giving a brief account of the theory of complex tensors on a complex manifold, and of the differential geometry associated with a Hermitian, and in particular a Kählerian, metric on such a manifold.

Abstract Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri, and Vafa constructed a real-valued invariant for Calabi–Yau manifolds, which is called the BCOV invariant. In this paper, we consider a pair $(X,Y)$, where $X$ is a compact Kähler manifold and $Y\in \big |K_X^m\big |$ with $m\in{\mathbb{Z}}\backslash \{0,-1\}$. We extend the BCOV invariant to such pairs. If $m=-2$ and $X$ is a rigid del Pezzo surface, the extended BCOV invariant is equivalent to Yoshikawa’s equivariant BCOV invariant. If $m=1$, the extended BCOV invariant is well behaved under blowup. It was conjectured that birational Calabi–Yau three-folds have the same BCOV invariant. As an application of our extended BCOV invariant, we show that this conjecture holds for Atiyah flops.
