Zero‐curvature subconformal structures and dispersionless integrability in dimension five
Abstract We extend the recent paradigm “Integrability via Geometry” from dimensions 3 and 4 to higher dimensions, relating dispersionless integrability of partial differential equations to curvature constraints of the background geometry. We observe that in higher dimensions on any solution manifold, the symbol defines a vector distribution equipped ...

K\"ahler-Einstein metrics: Old and New
We present classical and recent results on K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on compact complex manifolds, focusing on existence, obstructions and relations to algebraic geometric notions of stability (K-stability).

Open String Renormalization Group Flow as a Field Theory
Abstract This article shows that the integral flow‐lines of the RG‐flow of open string theory can be interpreted as the solitons of a Hořova–Lifshitz sigma‐model of open membranes. The authors argue that the effective background description of this model implies the g‐theorem of open string theory.

Heavenly metrics, hyper‐Lagrangians and Joyce structures
Abstract In [Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2021, pp. 1–66], Bridgeland defined a geometric structure, named a Joyce structure, conjectured to exist on the space M$M$ of stability conditions of a CY3$CY_3$ triangulated category.

Limits of conical Kähler–Einstein metrics on rank one horosymmetric spaces
Abstract We consider families of conical Kähler–Einstein metrics on rank one horosymmetric Fano manifolds, with decreasing cone angles along a codimension one orbit. At the limit angle, which is positive, we show that the metrics, restricted to the complement of that orbit, converge to (the pull‐back of) the Kähler–Einstein metric on the basis of the ...

Uniqueness of Ricci flows from non‐atomic Radon measures on Riemann surfaces
Abstract In previous work (Topping and Yin, https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.14686), we established the existence of a Ricci flow starting with a Riemann surface coupled with a non‐atomic Radon measure as a conformal factor. In this paper, we prove uniqueness, settling Conjecture 1.3 of Topping and Yin (https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.14686).

Local normal forms for c-projectively equivalent metrics and proof of the Yano-Obata conjecture in arbitrary signature. Proof of the projective Lichnerowicz conjecture for Lorentzian metrics [PDF]
Two K\"ahler metrics on a complex manifold are called c-projectively equivalent if their $J$-planar curves coincide. These curves are defined by the property that the acceleration is complex proportional to the velocity.

Inhomogeneous deformations of Einstein solvmanifolds
Abstract For each non‐flat, unimodular Ricci soliton solvmanifold (S0,g0)$(\mathsf {S}_0,g_0)$, we construct a one‐parameter family of complete, expanding, gradient Ricci solitons that admit a cohomogeneity one isometric action by S0$\mathsf {S}_0$. The orbits of this action are hypersurfaces homothetic to (S0,g0)$(\mathsf {S}_0,g_0)$.

Singular CR structures of constant Webster curvature and applications
Abstract We consider the sphere S2n+1$\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}$ equipped with its standard contact form. In this paper, we construct explicit contact forms on S2n+1∖S2k+1$\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}\setminus \mathbb {S}^{2k+1}$, which are conformal to the standard one and whose related Webster metrics have constant Webster curvature; in particular, it is positive if ...

K\"ahler manifolds with geodesic holomorphic gradients
A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called geodesic if its integral curves are reparametrized geodesics. We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds admitting nontrivial real-holomorphic geodesic gradient vector fields that satisfy an additional ...
