Collapsing of abelian fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds (Q1942107)

This is another effort to study the large limit behavior of Calabi-Yau manifolds. The authors focus on the hyperkähler manifolds \(M^{2n}\). In this case, if it has a fibration, predicted by a result of \textit{M. Verbitsky} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 6, No. 4, 601--611 (1996; Zbl 0861.53069)] on the cohomology rings, it is a generically a Lagrangian torus bundle over the projective space \(CP^n\). It is known that the difficulty of the existence of the fibration is Conjecture 2.3 (see also \textit{D. Guan} [Int. J. Math. 6, No. 5, 709--718 (1995; Zbl 0857.32018)] for some earlier constructions of the fibrations). In the summary, the authors say: ``We study the collapsing behavior of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on a projective Calabi-Yau manifold which admits an abelian fibration, when the volume of the fibers approaches zero. We show that away from the critical locus of the fibration the metrics collapse with locally bounded curvature, and along the fibers the rescaled metrics become flat in the limit. The limit metric on the base minus the critical locus is locally isometric to an open dense subset of any Gromov-Hausdorff limit space of the Ricci-flat metrics. We then apply these results to study metric degenerations of families of polarized hyperkähler manifolds in the large complex structure limit. In this setting, we prove an analogue of a result of \textit{M. Gross} and \textit{P. M. H. Wilson} [J. Differ. Geom. 55, No. 3, 475--546 (2000; Zbl 1027.32021)] for K3 surfaces, which is motivated by the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow picture of mirror symmetry.''
