A Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch formula for traces of differential operators

Markus Engeli, Giovanni Felder (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let D be a holomorphic differential operator acting on sections of a holomorphic vector bundle on an n -dimensional compact complex manifold. We prove a formula, conjectured by Feigin and Shoikhet, giving the Lefschetz number of D as the integral over the manifold of a differential form. The class of this differential form is obtained via formal differential geometry from the canonical generator of the Hochschild cohomology H H 2 n ( 𝒟 n , 𝒟 n * ) of the algebra of differential operators on a formal neighbourhood of a...

About the Calabi problem: a finite-dimensional approach

H.-D. Cao, J. Keller (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let us consider a projective manifold M n and a smooth volume form Ω on M . We define the gradient flow associated to the problem of Ω -balanced metrics in the quantum formalism, the Ω -balancing flow. At the limit of the quantization, we prove that (see Theorem 1) the Ω -balancing flow converges towards a natural flow in Kähler geometry, the Ω -Kähler flow. We also prove the long time existence of the Ω -Kähler flow and its convergence towards Yau’s solution to the Calabi conjecture of prescribing the...

Affine compact almost-homogeneous manifolds of cohomogeneity one

Daniel Guan (2009)

Open Mathematics

This paper is one in a series generalizing our results in [12, 14, 15, 20] on the existence of extremal metrics to the general almost-homogeneous manifolds of cohomogeneity one. In this paper, we consider the affine cases with hypersurface ends. In particular, we study the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics on these manifolds and obtain new Kähler-Einstein manifolds as well as Fano manifolds without Kähler-Einstein metrics. As a consequence of our study, we also give a solution to the problem...
