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 ...

Canonical metric on moduli space of singular Calabi-Yau varieties

Let $\pi:X\to Y$ be a surjective holomorphic map with connected fibers and let fibers are singular Calabi-Yau varieties (i.e. numerical dimension is zero) then is it possible to construct canonical ...

Can Calabi-Yau manifolds have nonabelian discrete symmetry groups?

A particle physicist asked me the above question. Let me try to make it more precise. Suppose $M$ is a 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold: that is, a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension ...

Explicit metrics on non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds

I would like to know which explicit metrics on non-compact Calabi-Yau (CY) threefolds are known. For instance, an important class of such spaces can be constructed algebraically, including local $\...

Questions on the Hodge Dual of the Kähler Class

Let $M$ be a compact complex surface, i.e., a complex manifold with complex dimension two. Also, let us denote its Kähler metric by $g$ and its Kähler form by $K$. Let us denote the Kähler class by $[...

Moishezon manifolds with vanishing first Chern class

Suppose $M$ is a Moishezon manifold with $c_1(M)=0$ in $H^2(M,\mathbb{R})$. Does it follow that $K_M$ is torsion in $\mathrm{Pic}(M)$? This is true whenever $M$ is Kähler (and therefore projective) ...

Calabi - Yau Manifolds

I just started reading about Calabi-Yau manifolds and most of the sources I came across defined Calabi-Yau manifold in a different way. I can see that some of them are just same and I can derive one ...
