Existence of holomorphic sections and perturbation of positive line bundles over qq--concave manifolds

By using asymptotic Morse inequalities we give a lower bound for the space of holomorphic sections of high tensor powers in a positive line bundle over a q-concave domain. The curvature of the positive bundle induces a hermitian metric on the manifold. The bound is given explicitely in terms of the volume of the domain in this metric and a certain integral on the boundary involving the defining function and its Levi form. As application we study the perturbattion of the complex structure of a q-concave manifold.Comment: 18 pages, AmsTe

Equidistribution results for singular metrics on line bundles

Let L be a holomorphic line bundle with a positively curved singular Hermitian metric over a complex manifold X. One can define naturally the sequence of Fubini-Study currents associated to the space of square integrable holomorphic sections of the p-th tensor powers of L. Assuming that the singular set of the metric is contained in a compact analytic subset of X and that the logarithm of the Bergman kernel function associated to the p-th tensor power of L (defined outside the singular set) grows like o(p) as p tends to infinity, we prove the following: 1) the k-th power of the Fubini-Study currents converge weakly on the whole X to the k-th power of the curvature current of L. 2) the expectations of the common zeros of a random k-tuple of square integrable holomorphic sections converge weakly in the sense of currents to to the k-th power of the curvature current of L. Here k is so that the codimension of the singular set of the metric is greater or equal as k. Our weak asymptotic condition on the Bergman kernel function is known to hold in many cases, as it is a consequence of its asymptotic expansion. We also prove it here in a quite general setting. We then show that many important geometric situations (singular metrics on big line bundles, Kaehler-Einstein metrics on Zariski-open sets, artihmetic quotients) fit into our framework.Comment: 40 page

Berezin-Toeplitz quantization and its kernel expansion

We survey recent results about the asymptotic expansion of Toeplitz operators and their kernels, as well as Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. We deal in particular with calculation of the first coefficients of these expansions.Comment: 34 page

Bochner Laplacian and Bergman kernel expansion of semi-positive line bundles on a Riemann surface

We generalize the results of Montgomery for the Bochner Laplacian on high tensor powers of a line bundle. When specialized to Riemann surfaces, this leads to the Bergman kernel expansion and geometric quantization results for semi-positive line bundles whose curvature vanishes at finite order. The proof exploits the relation of the Bochner Laplacian on tensor powers with the sub-Riemannian (sR) Laplacian

Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on Kaehler manifolds

We study the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on Kaehler manifolds. We explain first how to compute various associated asymptotic expansions, then we compute explicitly the first terms of the expansion of the kernel of the Berezin-Toeplitz operators, and of the composition of two Berezin-Toeplitz operators. As application we estimate the norm of Donaldson's Q-operator.Comment: 45 pages, footnote at page 3 and Remark 0.5 added; v.3 is a final update to agree with the published pape

On the compactification of hyperconcave ends and the theorems of Siu-Yau and Nadel

We show that the pseudoconcave holes of some naturally arising class of manifolds, called hyperconcave ends, can be filled in, including the case of complex dimension 2 . As a consequence we obtain a stronger version of the compactification theorem of Siu-Yau and extend Nadel's theorems to dimension 2.Comment: 13 pages, AMSLaTeX, short version accepted for publication in Inventiones Mat
