AbstractGiven a Kähler manifold (Z, J, ω) and a compact real submanifold M ⊂ Z, we study the properties of the gradient map associated with the action of a noncompact real reductive Lie group G on the space of probability measures on M. In particular, we prove convexity results for such map when G is Abelian and we investigate how to extend them to the non-Abelian case.

Abstract We study the action of a real reductive group G on a real submanifold X of a Kähler manifold Z. We suppose that the action of a compact connected Lie group U with Lie algebra $\mathfrak {u}$ extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified group $U^{\mathbb {C}}$ and that the U-action on Z is Hamiltonian. If $G\subset U^{\mathbb {C}}$ is compatible, there exists a gradient map $\mu _{\mathfrak p}:X \longrightarrow \mathfrak p$ where $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak k \oplus \mathfrak p$ is a Cartan decomposition of $\mathfrak g$ . In this paper, we describe compact orbits of parabolic subgroups of G in terms of the gradient map $\mu _{\mathfrak p}$ .

AbstractLet $$(Z,\omega )$$ ( Z , ω ) be a connected Kähler manifold with an holomorphic action of the complex reductive Lie group $$U^\mathbb {C}$$ U C , where U is a compact connected Lie group acting in a hamiltonian fashion. Let G be a closed compatible Lie group of $$U^\mathbb {C}$$ U C and let M be a G-invariant connected submanifold of Z. Let $$x\in M$$ x ∈ M . If G is a real form of $$U^\mathbb {C}$$ U C , we investigate conditions such that $$G\cdot x$$ G · x compact implies $$U^\mathbb {C}\cdot x$$ U C · x is compact as well. The vice-versa is also investigated. We also characterize G-invariant real submanifolds such that the norm-square of the gradient map is constant. As an application, we prove a splitting result for real connected submanifolds of $$(Z,\omega )$$ ( Z , ω ) generalizing a result proved in Gori and Podestà (Ann Global Anal Geom 26: 315–318, 2004), see also Bedulli and Gori (Results Math 47: 194–198, 2005), Biliotti (Bull Belg Math Soc Simon Stevin 16: 107–116 2009).

AbstractWe study the action of a real reductive group G on a real submanifold X of a Kähler manifold Z. We suppose that the action of G extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified group $G^{\mathbb {C}}$ and that with respect to a compatible maximal compact subgroup U of $G^{\mathbb {C}}$ the action on Z is Hamiltonian. There is a corresponding gradient map $\mu _{\mathfrak {p}}\colon X\to \mathfrak {p}^*$ where $\mathfrak {g}=\mathfrak {k}\oplus \mathfrak {p}$ is a Cartan decomposition of $\mathfrak {g}$. We obtain a Morse-like function $\eta _{\mathfrak {p}}:=\Vert \mu _{\mathfrak {p}}\Vert ^2$ on X. Associated with critical points of $\eta _{\mathfrak {p}}$ are various sets of semistable points which we study in great detail. In particular, we have G-stable submanifolds Sβ of X which are called pre-strata. In cases where $\mu _{\mathfrak {p}}$ is proper, the pre-strata form a decomposition of X and in cases where X is compact they are the strata of a Morse-type stratification of X. Our results are generalizations of results of Kirwan obtained in the case where $G=U^{\mathbb {C}}$ and X=Z is compact.

For a closed Kähler manifold with a Hamiltonian action of a connected compact Lie group by holomorphic isometries, we construct a formal Frobenius manifold structure on the equivariant cohomology by exploiting a natural DGBV algebra structure on the Cartan model.

AbstractLet X be a compact Kähler manifold. Let $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m be closed positive currents of bi-degree (1, 1) on X and T an arbitrary closed positive current on X. We introduce the non-pluripolar product relative to T of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m . We recover the well-known non-pluripolar product of $$T_1, \ldots , T_m$$ T 1 , … , T m when T is the current of integration along X. Our main results are a monotonicity property of relative non-pluripolar products, a necessary condition for currents to be of relative full mass intersection in terms of Lelong numbers, and the convexity of weighted classes of currents of relative full mass intersection. The former two results are new even when T is the current of integration along X.

We prove that the canonical bundle of a foliation by curves on a compact Kähler manifold is pseudoeffective, unless the foliation is a (special) foliation by rational curves.
