We describe the Special Kahler structure on the base of the so-called Hitchin system in terms of the geometry of the space of spectral curves. It yields a simple formula for the Kahler potential. This extends to the case of a singular spectral curve and we show that this defines the Special Kahler structure on certain natural integrable subsystems. Examples include the extreme case where the metric is flat.

A special Kahler-Ricci potential on a Kahler manifold is any nonconstant $C^infty$ function $tau$ such that $J( ablatau)$ is a Killing vector field and, at every point with $dtau e 0$, all nonzero tangent vectors orthogonal to $ ablatau$ and $J( ablatau)$ are eigenvectors of both $ abla dtau$ and the Ricci tensor. For instance, this is always the case if $tau$ is a nonconstant $C^infty$ function on a Kahler manifold $(M,g)$ of complex dimension $m>2$ and the metric $tilde g=g/tau^2$, defined wherever $tau e 0$, is Einstein. (When such $tau$ exists, $(M,g)$ may be called {it almost-everywhere conformally Einstein}.) We provide a complete classification of compact Kahler manifolds with special Kahler-Ricci potentials and use it to prove a structure theorem for compact Kahler manifolds of any complex dimension $m>2$ which are almost-everywhere conformally Einstein.
In this paper, we introduce the coupled Ricci iteration, a dynamical system related to the Ricci operator and twisted Kahler-Einstein metrics as an approach to the study of coupled Kahler-Einstein (CKE) metrics. For negative first Chern class, we prove the smooth convergence of the iteration. For positive first Chern class, we also provide a notion of coercivity of the Ding functional, and show its equivalence to existence of CKE metrics. As an application, we prove the smooth convergence of the iteration on CKE Fano manifolds assuming that the automorphism group is discrete.
We study the quantization of coupled Kahler-Einstein (CKE) metrics, namely we approximate CKE metrics by means of the canonical Bergman metrics, so called the ``balanced metrics. We prove the existence and weak convergence of balanced metrics for the negative first Chern class, while for the positive first Chern class, we introduce some algebro-geometric obstruction which interpolates between the Donaldson-Futaki invariant and Chow weight. Then we show the existence and weak convergence of balanced metrics on CKE manifolds under the vanishing of this obstruction. Moreover, restricted to the case when the automorphism group is discrete, we also discuss approximate solutions and a gradient flow method towards the smooth convergence.
We review results about $G_2$-structures in relation to the existence of special metrics, such as Einstein metrics and Ricci solitons, and the evolution under the Laplacian flow on non-compact homogeneous spaces. We also discuss some examples in detail.
We construct balanced metrics on the family of non-Kahler Calabi-Yau threefolds that are obtained by smoothing after contracting $(-1,-1)$-rational curves on Kahler Calabi-Yau threefold. As an application, we construct balanced metrics on complex manifolds diffeomorphic to connected sum of $kgeq 2$ copies of $S^3times S^3$.
