Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Siu's curvature operator \(A^E_{p,q}\) for vector-bundle-valued differential forms on K\"ahler manifolds. When $p=n$, this operator reduces to the classical Akizuki--Nakano curvature operator. We first characterize the semipositivity of \(A^E_{p,q}\) in terms of an optimal \(L^2\)-estimate condition for the \(\bar\partial\)-operator, and then prove an Ohsawa--Takegoshi-type extension theorem for \(E\)-valued \((p,q)\)-forms under the curvature condition \(A^E_{p,q+1}\geq0\), using a new twisted basic estimate adapted to this setting. As an application, we prove the local freeness of the higher direct image sheaf \(R^q s_*(\Omega^p_{X/ B_m}\otimes E)\) under the curvature conditions $A^E_{p,q+1}\geq0$ and $A^E_{p,q}\geq0$, where $s: X \to B_m:=\{t\in\mathbb C^m:\ |t|<1\}$ is a proper holomorphic submersion from a K\"ahler manifold $X$, and $E$ is a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle.

On the holomorphic differential operator $\frac{d}{dz}: Q_K\to L^q(WdA)$

In this paper, we obtain non-testing characterizations, in terms of dyadic capacity gauges, of the boundedness and compactness of the differentiation operator $$ \frac{d}{dz}:Q_K\longrightarrow L^q(W\,dA), \qquad 0<q<\infty. $$ We also characterize the limiting case as $q\to0^+$, formulated in terms of a logarithmic ge...

Explicit Estimates for the Bergman Kernel Form

Let $(L,e^{-\phi})$ be a positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a compact Riemann surface $X$, and let $\omega=i\partial\overline{\partial}\phi$. We obtain explicit pointwise estimates for the Bergman form of the tensor power $mL$. If $\mathrm{Ric}\,\omega\leq\omega$ and the shortest nonconstant closed geodesi...

Uniform $L^\infty$ estimates for complex hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds

We develop a pluripotential approach to complex Hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. In this setting, the lack of closedness of the background metric introduces torsion terms that prevent a direct extension of the K\"ahler theory. Our main result is a uniform $L^\infty$ estimate for bounded $\omega$-$m$-su...

Scalar curvature on K\"ahler blow-ups and systolic inequalities

In this paper, we develop the weighted level set method for a K\"ahler manifold $(X^n,\omega)$ admitting an almost holomorphic map to a possibly singular base $Z$, which is not uniruled. As a key intermediate result, we prove that any blowup $\operatorname{Bl}_SX$ of $X$ along smooth submanifolds $S$ of $ \operatorname...

A $dd^{\Phi}$-Lemma and Bott--Chern-type Cohomology for Spin(7)-Manifolds

We study the properties of the $dd^{\Phi}$-operator on $8$-dimensional Spin(7)-manifolds with torsion-free Spin(7)-structures $\Phi$. These operators were first introduced by Harvey and Lawson (An introduction to potential theory in calibrated geometry. Am.J. Math. 131.4 (2009), arXiv:0710.3920). We prove a Hodge decom...

The Faraday Form of Conformal Products: Weyl Curvature and Four-Dimensional Einstein Rigidity

Let $(M^n,g)$ carry a conformal product structure whose adapted Weyl connection $D$ preserves orthogonal distributions of ranks $p,q\ge2$. We express the Faraday form $d\theta$ directly in terms of the Weyl curvature of $g$. If $S$ is the orthogonal involution determined by the splitting and \[ \mathcal K_W(X)=\sum_i W...
