Decomposition of forms in $\operatorname{SU}(4)$-manifold
$\DeclareMathOperator\Spin{Spin}\DeclareMathOperator\SU{SU}$Let $(X,\Omega,\omega,J)$ be a manifold with an $\SU(4)$ structure. Since $\SU(4)\subset\Spin(7)$, $X$ also has a $\Spin(7)$-structure. I ...

Is Stenzel's Ricci-flat metric on $T^*\mathbb{CP}^n$ hyperkahler?
In a well-known paper, Stenzel constructed complete Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on the total spaces of cotangent bundles of $S^n$, $\mathbb{RP}^n,$ $\mathbb{CP}^n$, $\mathbb{HP}^n$, and $\mathbb{OP}^2$.

Minimal Betti numbers of simply-connected threefolds with trivial canonical class
By a threefold, I mean a compact complex manifold of dimension three.
For a simply-connected threefold with trivial canonical class, its Betti numbers satisfy:
$$b_2 \ge 0, b_3 \ge 2.$$
I am wondering ...

Why does the bisectional curvature blow up?
Suppose we have $X = X_1 \times X_2$, where $X_1$ is a Calabi-Yau manifold (i.e. $c_1(X_1) = 0$) and $X_2$ is a compact Kähler manifold of $c_1(X_2) < 0$. We can consider the metric $\omega(t, x_1, ...

geometrical or physical interpretation of second Chern classes of Calabi-Yau threefold
It's my first post.
Consider Calabi-Yau threefold $M$ and its tangent bundle $TM$. I know $c_1(TM)=0$ means metric on $M$ is a solution of vacuum Einstein equation. Then my question is "are there any ...

A question about the proof of McLean's theorem: why is the space of $C^{k,\alpha}$ exact $p$-forms a Banach space?
In the famous paper "Deformations of Calibrated Submanifolds" by Robert McLean, he showed that given a smooth compact special Lagrangian $L$ in a Calabi-Yau manifold $(X^{2n},\omega,\Omega)$, there is ...
