Let X X be a simple normal crossing (SNC) compact complex surface with trivial canonical bundle which includes triple intersections. We prove that if X X is d d -semistable, then there exists a family of smoothings in a differential geometric sense. This can be interpreted as a differential geometric analogue of the smoothability results due to Friedman, Kawamata-Namikawa, Felten-Filip-Ruddat, Chan-Leung-Ma, and others in algebraic geometry. The proof is based on an explicit construction of local smoothings around the singular locus of X X , and the first author’s existence result of holomorphic volume forms on global smoothings of X X . In particular, these volume forms are given as solutions of a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation. As an application, we provide several examples of d d -semistable SNC complex surfaces with trivial canonical bundle including double curves, which are smoothable to complex tori, primary Kodaira surfaces, and K 3 K3 surfaces. We also provide several examples of such complex surfaces including triple points, which are smoothable to K 3 K3 surfaces.

We define a dual of the Chow transformation of currents on any complex projective manifold. This integral transformation is a factor of a left inverse of the Chow transformation and its composition with the Chow transformation is a right inverse of a linear differential operator, which does not commute with ∂ \partial or ∂ ¯ \overline{\partial } . We obtain a complete intrinsic resolution of the problem of the algebraicity of the cohomology classes. On another hand, in the case of the complex projective space, we give the translation in terms of real-analytic D {\mathcal{D}} -modules of the properties of the Chow transformation. Then, the proofs can be simplified by using the conormal currents, which exist for all currents of bidimension ( p , p ) \left(p,p) on the complex projective space, even not closed. This is a consequence of the existence of dual currents, defined on the dual complex projective space. In particular, we obtain a linear differential system of order lower than that of the Gelfand-Gindikin-Graev differential system, characterizing the images by the Chow transformation of smooth differential forms on the complex projective space.

In this note, we determine the structure of the associative algebra generated by the differential operators μ ¯ , ∂ ¯ , ∂ \overline{\mu },\overline{\partial },\partial , and μ \mu that act on complex-valued differential forms of almost complex manifolds. This is done by showing that it is the universal enveloping algebra of the graded Lie algebra generated by these operators and determining the structure of the corresponding graded Lie algebra. We then determine the cohomology of this graded Lie algebra with respect to its canonical inner differential [ d , − ] \left[d,-] , as well as its cohomology with respect to all its inner differentials.

We study four-dimensional second Chern-Einstein almost-Hermitian manifolds. In the compact case, we observe that under a certain hypothesis, the Riemannian dual of the Lee form is a Killing vector field. We use that observation to describe four-dimensional compact second Chern-Einstein locally conformally symplectic manifolds, and we give some examples of such manifolds. Finally, we study the second Chern-Einstein problem on unimodular almost-abelian Lie algebras, classifying those that admit a left-invariant second Chern-Einstein metric with a parallel non-zero Lee form.

In this article, the cosymplectic analogue of the symplectic flux homomorphism of a compact connected cosymplectic manifold ( M , η , ω ) \left(M,\eta ,\omega ) with ∂ M = ∅ \partial M=\varnothing is studied. This is a continuous map with respect to the C 0 {C}^{0} -metric, whose kernel is connected by smooth arcs and coincides with the subgroup of all weakly Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We discuss the cosymplectic analogue of the Weinstein’s chart, and derive that the group G η , ω ( M ) {G}_{\eta ,\omega }\left(M) of all cosymplectic diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity map is locally contractible. A study of an analogue of Polterovich’s regularization process for co-Hamiltonian isotopies follows. Finally, we study Moser’s stability theorems for locally conformal cosymplectic manifolds.

We consider several related examples of Fourier-Mukai transformations involving the quot scheme. A method of showing conservativity of these Fourier-Mukai transformations is described.

The property of admitting an astheno-Kähler metric is not stable under the action of small deformations of the complex structure of a compact complex manifold. In this study, we prove necessary cohomological conditions for the existence of curves of astheno-Kähler metrics along curves of deformations starting from an initial compact complex manifold endowed with an astheno-Kähler metric. Furthermore, we apply our results providing obstructions to the existence of curves of astheno-Kähler metrics on two different families of real eight-dimensional nilmanifolds endowed with invariant nilpotent complex structures.

We extend some definitions and give new results about the theory of slice analysis in several quaternionic variables. The sets of slice functions that are slice, slice regular, and circular with respect to given variables are characterized. We introduce new notions of partial spherical value and derivative for functions of several variables that extend those of one variable. We recover some of their properties as circularity, harmonicity, some relations with differential operators, and a Leibniz rule with respect to the slice product as well as studying their behavior in the context of several variables. Then, we prove our main result, which is a generalization of Fueter’s theorem for slice regular functions in several variables. This extends the link between slice regular and axially monogenic functions well known in the one variable context.

The aim of this article is to study the geometry of Bott-Chern hypercohomology from the bimeromorphic point of view. We construct some new bimeromorphic invariants involving the cohomology for the sheaf of germs of pluriharmonic functions, the truncated holomorphic de Rham cohomology, and the de Rham cohomology. To define these invariants, by using a sheaf-theoretic approach, we establish a blow-up formula together with a canonical morphism for the Bott-Chern hypercohomology. In particular, we compute the invariants of some compact complex threefolds, such as Iwasawa manifolds and quintic threefolds.

Moduli spaces of stably irreducible sheaves on Kodaira surfaces belong to the short list of examples of smooth and compact holomorphic symplectic manifolds, and it is not yet known how they would fit into a possible classification of holomorphic symplectic manifolds by deformation type. This article studies a natural Lagrangian fibration on these moduli spaces to determine that they are not Kähler or simply connected, ruling out most of the known deformation types of holomorphic symplectic manifolds.
