英文摘要：

Shortly after the introduction of Seiberg-Witten theory, LeBrun showed that the sign of the Yamabe invariant of a compact Kähler surface is determined by its Kodaira dimension. In this paper, we show that LeBrun's Theorem is no longer true for non-Kähler surfaces. In particular, we show that the Yamabe invariants of Inoue surfaces and their blowups are all zero. We also take this opportunity to record a proof that the Yamabe invariants of Kodaira surfaces and their blowups are all zero, as previously indicated by LeBrun.

Kodaira Dimension and the Yamabe Problem, II

For compact complex surfaces (M^4, J) of Kaehler type, it was previously shown that the sign of the Yamabe invariant Y(M) only depends on the Kodaira dimension Kod (M, J). In this paper, we prove that this pattern in fact extends to all compact complex surfaces except those of class VII. In the process, we give a simplified proof of a result that explains why the exclusion of class VII is essential here.

On cohomological and formal properties of Strong Kähler with torsion and astheno-Kähler metrics

We provide families of compact astheno-Kähler nilmanifolds and we study the behaviour of the complex blowup of such manifolds. We prove that the existence of an astheno-Kähler metric satisfying an extra differential condition is not preserved by blowup. We also study the interplay between Strong Kähler with torsion metrics and geometrically Bott-Chern metrics. We show that Fino-Parton-Salamon nilmanifolds are geometrically-Bott-Chern-formal, whereas we obtain negative results on the product of two copies of primary Kodaira surface, Inoue surface of type $\mathcal{S}_M$ and on the product of a …

Kodaira Dimension and the Yamabe Problem

The Yamabe invariant Y(M) of a smooth compact manifold is roughly the supremum of the scalar curvatures of unit-volume constant-scalar curvature Riemannian metrics g on M. (To be absolutely precise, one only considers constant-scalar-curvature metrics which are Yamabe minimizers, but this does not affect the sign of the answer.) If M is the underlying smooth 4-manifold of a complex algebraic surface (M,J), it is shown that the sign of Y(M) is completely determined by the Kodaira dimension Kod (M,J). More precisely, Y(M) < 0 iff Kod (M,J)=2; Y(M) = 0 iff Kod (M,J)=0 or 1; and Y(M) > 0 iff Kod (…

Surgery, Yamabe invariant, and Seiberg-Witten theory

By using the gluing formula of the Seiberg-Witten invariant, we compute the Yamabe invariant Y(X) of 4-manifolds X obtained by performing surgeries along points, circles or tori on compact Kaehler surfaces. For instance, if M is a compact Kaehler surface of nonnegative Kodaira dimension, and N is a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold with b_2^+(N)=0 and Y(N)>= 0, then we show that Y(M # N)=Y(M).

A note on collapse, entropy, and vanishing of the Yamabe invariant of symplectic 4-manifolds

We make use of $\mathcal{F}$-structures and technology developed by Paternain - Petean to compute minimal entropy, minimal volume, and Yamabe invariant of symplectic 4-manifolds, as well as to study their collapse with sectional curvature bounded from below. À la Gompf, we show that these invariants vanish on symplectic 4-manifolds that realize any given finitely presented group as their fundamental group. We extend to the symplectic realm a result of LeBrun which relates the Kodaira dimension with the Yamabe invariant of compact complex surfaces.

The Weyl functional near the Yamabe invariant

For a compact manifold $M$ of $\dim M =n\geq 4$, we study two conformal invariants of a conformal class $C$ on $M$. These are the Yamabe constant $Y_C(M)$ and the $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm $W_C(M)$ of the Weyl curvature. We prove that for any manifold $M$ there exists a conformal class $C$ such that the Yamabe constant $Y_C(M)$ is arbitrarily close to the Yamabe invariant $Y(M)$, and, at the same time, the constant $W_C(M)$ is arbitrarily large. We study the image of the map $\YW: C\mapsto (Y_C(M),W_C(M))\in \R^2$ near the line $\{(Y(M),w) | w\in \R\}$. We also apply our results to certain classe…
