The nondegenerate generalized Kahler Calabi-Yau problem


Abstract in English

We formulate a Calabi-Yau type conjecture in generalized Kahler geometry, focusing on the case of nondegenerate Poisson structure. After defining natural Hamiltonian deformation spaces for generalized Kahler structures generalizing the notion of Kahler class, we conjecture unique solvability of Gualtieris Calabi-Yau equation within this class. We establish the uniqueness, and moreover show that all such solutions are actually hyper-Kahler metrics. We furthermore establish a GIT framework for this problem, interpreting solutions of this equation as zeros of a moment map associated to a Hamiltonian action and finding a Kempf-Ness functional. Lastly we indicate the naturality of generalized Kahler-Ricci flow in this setting, showing that it evolves within the given Hamiltonian deformation class, and that the Kempf-Ness functional is monotone, so that the only possible fixed points for the flow are hyper-Kahler metrics. On a hyper-Kahler background, we establish global existence and weak convergence of the flow.
