Cumrun Vafa with Greene-Shapere-Yau introduced semi-Ricci flat metric here

B. Greene, A. Shapere, C. Vafa, and S.-T. Yau. Stringy cosmic strings and noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds. Nuclear Physics B, 337(1):1–36, 1990

I know that such metrics are Kahler in fiber direction. Is there any counter example to show that such metrics are not Kahler in horizontal direction?

  • $\begingroup$ This is essentially the Gibbons-Hawking ansatz, why do you expect this is not Kahler? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ That's nice, thanks. This dissertation was announced a while ago in arxiv.org/abs/1201.2930, see footnote on p.7, and I was wondering what happened to it. $\endgroup$

A counterexample to the semipositivity of these semi-flat metrics (on elliptic $K3$ surfaces) was constructed by Cao, Guenancia, Paun, Tosatti in this paper, see Theorem 3.1 and the Appendix.
