Deformations of nearly Kähler instantons [PDF]
, 2016 We formulate the deformation theory for instantons on nearly Kähler six-manifolds using spinors and Dirac operators. Using this framework we identify the space of deformations of an irreducible instanton with semisimple structure group with the kernel of

, 2007 For closed and connected subgroups G of SO(n), we study the energy functional on the space of G-structures of a (compact) Riemannian manifold M, where G-structures are considered as sections of the quotient bundle O(M)/G.

Realising Mutated Hilltop Inflation in Supergravity
, 2019 We present $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity models of mutated hilltop inflation (MHI) for both large and small field sectors. Models with canonical kinetic terms are developed based on a shift symmetric K\"ahler potential in inflaton superfield, and with a ...

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 5, Page 1151-1298, May 2026.Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

Nearly Kähler 6-Manifolds with Reduced Holonomy
, 2001 International audienceWe consider a complete six-dimensional nearly Kähler manifold together with the first canonical Hermitian connection. We show that if the holonomy of this connection is reducible, then the manifold endowed with a modified metric and

The universal family of punctured Riemann surfaces is Stein
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We show that the universal Teichmüller family V(g,n)$V(g,n)$ of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g⩾0$g\geqslant 0$ with n>0$n>0$ punctures is a Stein manifold. We describe its basic function‐theoretic properties and pose some challenging questions. We show, in particular, that the space of fibrewise algebraic functions on the universal family

On the K‐stability of blow‐ups of projective bundles
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We investigate the K‐stability of certain blow‐ups of P1$\mathbb {P}^1$‐bundles over a Fano variety V$V$, where the P1$\mathbb {P}^1$‐bundle is the projective compactification of a line bundle L$L$ proportional to −KV$-K_V$ and the center of the blow‐up is the image along a positive section of a divisor B$B$ also proportional to L$L$. When V$V$

, 2009 We first review the notion of a $G_2$-manifold, defined in terms of a principal $G_2$ ("gauge") bundle over a $7$-dimensional manifold, before discussing their relation to supergravity. In a second thread, we focus on associative submanifolds and present

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.
