Compact hyperkähler manifolds
These notes grew out of eight lectures delivered by the author at the Nordfjordeid summer school in June 2001. They form the third (and last) part of this Springer Universitext and consists of nine sections numbered by \S\S 20-28 (see also Zbl 1016.53041 and Zbl 1014.14019). The main theme of this part is the study of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds by means of their periods. From the differential geometric point of view, these objects are compact Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy \(Sp(n)\). On the other hand, from an algebro-geometric point of view, compact hyper-Kähler manifolds occur as simply-connected compact Kähler manifolds that admit an essentially unique, everywhere non-degenerate holomorphic 2-form. A combination of the corresponding specific methods leads to a general theory of this type of manifolds which parallels, to a large extent, the classical theory of complex tori, abelian varieties, and \(K3\) surfaces. The period of a compact hyper-Kähler manifold is given by the second cohomology endowed with its Hodge structure and the so-called Beauville-Bogomolov quadratic form. Finally, compact hyper-Kähler manifolds appear in the theory of Ricci-flat manifolds as one of the basic components, together with complex tori and Calabi-Yau manifolds, and this very fact makes them play a prominent role in modern mathematical physics, particularly in string theories and in the mysterious world of mirror symmetry. Thus, in order to provide a sufficiently profound introduction to the geometry of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds, the author discusses the following selected topics: \S 20. (General) Introduction; \S 21. Holomorphic symplectic manifolds (including \(K3\) surfaces, higher-dimensional examples, birational maps, and holomorphic symplectic manifolds as fiber spaces); \S 22. Deformations of complex structures (including a general account of deformations of Kähler manifolds, deformations of holomorphic symplectic manifolds, the Mukai flop, and Beauville's local Torelli theorem); \S 23. The Beauville-Bogomolov form (including the differential-geometric definition of a compact hyper-Kähler manifold, the construction of the Beauville-Bogomolov quadratic form, and the proof of the integrality of the latter by means of the Beauville-Fujiki relation); \S 24. Cohomology of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds (à la Verbitsky-Bogomolov, 1996); \S 25. Twistor space and moduli space (including the construction of the moduli space of marked irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds, the structure of the period map, and a counter-example to a global Torelli theorem for higher-dimensional holomorphic symplectic manifolds); \S 26. Projectivity of hyper-Kähler manifolds (including the projectivity criteria due to Demailly-Paun-Nakai-Moishezon and to the author himself, together with some finiteness theorems concerning the deformation types of holomorphic symplectic manifolds); \S 27. Birational hyper-Kähler manifolds; \S 28. The (birational) Kähler cone. The last two sections (\S\S 27 and 28) touch upon those more special topics that are closely related to the author's own research work, which leads the reader directly to the forefront of current research in this field. Altogether, the author has tried to cover large parts of the existing theory on compact hyper-Kähler manifolds, and he has managed to provide a fairly comprehensive, detailed and vivid account of it. Results for which a proof is given (or sketched) are stated as ``Proposition, whereas those results that are beyond the scope of these notes are labelled as ``Theorem. Basically, the exposition is nearly self-contained and written in a very lucid, refined style. Various concrete examples and exercises scattered throughout the text enrich this introduction to hyper-Kählerian geometry in a very effective way. Apart from being an excellent introduction to the subject, these notes also represent a profound source for active researchers in complex geometry. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1001.00028].
