We give a complete solution to the existence problem for gravitating vortices with non-negative topological constant $c geqslant 0$. Our first main result builds on previous results by Yang and establishes the existence of solutions to the Einstein-Bogomolnyi equations, corresponding to $c=0$, in all admissible Kahler classes. Our second main result completely solves the existence problem for $c>0$. Both results are proved by the continuity method and require that a GIT stability condition for an effective divisor on the Riemann sphere is satisfied. For the former, the continuity path starts from a given solution with $c = 0$ and deforms the Kahler class. For the latter result we start from the established solution in any fixed admissible Kahler class and deform the coupling constant $alpha$ towards $0$. A salient feature of our argument is a new bound $S_g geqslant c$ for the curvature of gravitating vortices, which we apply to construct a limiting solution along the path via Cheeger-Gromov theory.

We introduce the notion of twisted gravitating vortex on a compact Riemann surface. If the genus of the Riemann surface is greater than 1 and the twisting forms have suitable signs, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for suitable range of the coupling constant generalizing the result of arXiv:1510.03810v2 in the non twisted setting. It is proved via solving a continuity path deforming the coupling constant from 0 for which the system decouples as twisted Kahler-Einstein metric and twisted vortices. Moreover, specializing to a family of twisting forms smoothing delta distribution terms, we prove the existence of singular gravitating vortices whose Kahler metric has conical singularities and Hermitian metric has parabolic singularities. In the Bogomolnyi phase, we establish an existence result for singular Einstein-Bogomolnyi equations, which represents cosmic strings with singularities.
In this note we prove that a four-dimensional compact oriented half-confor-mally flat Riemannian manifold $M^4$ is topologically $mathbb{S}^{4}$ or $mathbb{C}mathbb{P}^{2},$ provided that the sectional curvatures all lie in the interval $[frac{3sqrt{3}-5}{4},,1].$ In addition, we use the notion of biorthogonal (sectional) curvature to obtain a pinching condition which guarantees that a four-dimensional compact manifold is homeomorphic to a connected sum of copies of the complex projective plane or the $4$-sphere.
A metric with positive sectional curvature on the Gromoll-Meyer exotic 7-sphere is constructed explicitly. The proof relies on a 2-parameter family of left invariant metrics on Sp(2) and a one-parameter family of conformal deformations via an isoparametric function F on it. One byproduct is a metric with positive sectional curvature on a homotopy (but not diffeomorphic) $RP^7$.
In this paper we study the class of compact Kahler manifolds with positive orthogonal Ricci curvature: $Ric^perp>0$. First we illustrate examples of Kahler manifolds with $Ric^perp>0$ on Kahler C-spaces, and construct ones on certain projectivized vector bundles. These examples show the abundance of Kahler manifolds which admit metrics of $Ric^perp>0$. Secondly we prove some (algebraic) geometric consequences of the condition $Ric^perp>0$ to illustrate that the condition is also quite restrictive. Finally this last point is made evident with a classification result in dimension three and a partial classification in dimension four.
The critical point equation arises as a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional defined on the space of constant scalar curvature metrics of a unit volume on a compact manifold. In this equation, there exists a function $f$ on the manifold that satisfies the following $$ (1+f){rm Ric} = Ddf + frac{nf +n-1}{n(n-1)}sg. $$ It has been conjectured that if $(g, f)$ is a solution of the critical point equation, then $g$ is Einstein and so $(M, g)$ is isometric to a standard sphere. In this paper, we show that this conjecture is true if the given Riemannian metric has positive isotropic curvature.
