Background

1 My talk is based on joint work with David Calderbank and Christina Tønnesen-Friedman.

2 Bott Manifolds which are related to Bott-Samelson manifolds were anticipated by RaoulBott and first studied in detail in Grossberg’s thesis and later used in representation theory byGrossberg and Karshon.

3 The topology of Bott manifolds was then studied by Choi, Masuda, Panov, Suh and others.4 Bott Manifolds are smooth projective toric varieties; hence, they are integrable systems5 They are best approached through the notion of a Bott Tower which we now describe.

Bott Towers

1 Consider Closed Complex Manifolds Mk for k = 0, 1, . . . , n with M0 = {pt} and Mk the totalspace of the CP1-bundle πk : P(1l⊕ Lk )→ Mk−1 giving the sequence

Mnπn→Mn−1

πn−1→ · · ·M2

π2→M1 = CP1

π1→ {pt}

where Lk is a holomorphic line bundle on Mk−1.

2 Mk is called the stage k Bott manifold of the Bott tower of height n.3 Stage 2 Bott manifolds are nothing but Hirzebruch surfaces.4 A Bott tower is a collection (Mk , πk , σ

0k , σ∞k )n

k=1 where σ0k and σ∞k are the zero and infinity

sections of Lk , respectively.5 The Quotient Construction: Any Bott tower is obtained from the complex torus action

nj=1 7→

(tj zj ,

)nj=1

where Aij are the entries of a lower triangular unipotent integer-valued matrix A.

6 The Cohomology Ring: H∗(Mn,Z) = Z[x1, x2, . . . , xn]/I where I is generated by xk yk withyk =

∑nj=1 Aj

k xj .

7 Problem: When does the cohomology ring determine the diffeomorphism type? (Choi,Masuda, Panov, Suh)

morphisms GBT1 are Tn equivariant biholomorphisms.

2 Elements of GBT1 give equivalences of Bott towers.

3 The set of n dimensional Bott towers GBT0 can be identified with the set of n × n lower

triangular unipotent matrices A over the integers Z, hence with Zn(n−1

2 .4 The isotropy subgroup Iso(Mn(A)) ⊂ GBT

1 at Mn(A) ∈ GBT0 is Aut(Mn(A)).

5 The quotient stack GBT0 /GBT

1 is the set of Bott manifolds.6 A Bott manifold is a smooth projective toric variety whose polytope P is combinatorially

equivalent to an n-cube.7 A Bott manifold has a Tn invariant compatible Kahler form ω. In fact its Kahler cone K is n

dimensional.8 K is isomorphic to the ample cone A of Tn invariant ample divisors.

The Bott Tower Groupoid

1 Bott towers form the objects GBT0 of a groupoid GBT (Bott tower groupoid) whose

morphisms GBT1 are Tn equivariant biholomorphisms.

2 Elements of GBT1 give equivalences of Bott towers.

3 The set of n dimensional Bott towers GBT0 can be identified with the set of n × n lower

triangular unipotent matrices A over the integers Z, hence with Zn(n−1

2 .4 The isotropy subgroup Iso(Mn(A)) ⊂ GBT

1 at Mn(A) ∈ GBT0 is Aut(Mn(A)).

5 The quotient stack GBT0 /GBT

1 is the set of Bott manifolds.6 A Bott manifold is a smooth projective toric variety whose polytope P is combinatorially

equivalent to an n-cube.7 A Bott manifold has a Tn invariant compatible Kahler form ω. In fact its Kahler cone K is n

dimensional.8 K is isomorphic to the ample cone A of Tn invariant ample divisors.

metric g with Kahler form ω on a compact complex manifold M.

Variation ω 7→ ω+ ∂∂φ in the space of Kahler metrics with the same cohomology class [ω].

A Kahler metric g is a critical point of E(g) if and only if the (1, 0) gradient of sg isholomorphic. Such a metric is called Extremal.Clearly a Kahler metric of constant scalar curvature is extremal. In particular,Kahler-Einstein metrics are extremal.

Calabi: Critical points have maximal symmetry.

Lichnerowicz-Matushima: If a Kahler metric g has constant scalar curvature, then Aut(M)0is reductive.

Demazure: For smooth toric varieties MF with fan F the connected component of the groupof automorphisms Aut(MF)0 is generated as a group by the maximal torus Tc and thesystem of unipotent 1-parameter subgroups {λσ}σ∈F1 dual to the family of roots R(F).

Extremal Kahler Metrics on Bott Manifolds

Theorem (2)Any Bott manifold Mn admits a toric extremal Kahler metric. Alternatively, the extremal Kahlercone E(Mn) is a non-empty open cone in the Kahler cone K(Mn).

The proof is induction using the Lemma of Apostolov, Calderbank, Gauduchon,Tønnesen-Friedmann.The last statement uses the well known LeBrun-Simanca rigidity result.

Problem

Describe the extremal Kahler cone E(Mn). In particular, when is E(Mn) = K(Mn)?

We can describe the Kahler cone K(Mn) of a Bott manifold Mn. It is often, but not always,the first orthant in Rn.For a Bott tower Mn(A) the connected component Aut(Mn(A))0 is the connected componentof the isotropy subgroup of GBT

1 at Mn(A).

Theorem (3)Let Mn(A) be a Bott tower. If the elements below the diagonal of any row of the lower triangularunipotent matrix A all have the same sign, then Mn(A) does not admit a Kahler metric withconstant scalar curvature. In particular, if A1

2 6= 0 then Mn(A) does not admit a Kahler metricwith constant scalar curvature.

The proof essentially follows from Demazure’s Theorem by computing possible root vectors.

1 Twist Bott Manifolds

A 1 twist Bott manifold is diffeomorphic to a non-trivial CP1 bundle over (S2)n−1.

The diffeomorphism type of a 1 twist Bott manifold is determined by its cohomology ring(Choi-Suh).

Consider Bott manifolds Mn(k) with k = (k1, . . . , kn−1) satisfying k1k2 · · · kn−1 6= 0 with Amatrix

A =

1 0 · · · 0 00 1 · · · 0 0...

.... . .

......

0 0 · · · 1 0k1 k2 · · · kn−1 1

.

Then Mn(k) admits an extremal Kahler metric in every Kahler class.

If not all ki have the same sign, then some of these metrics will have constant scalarcurvature.

Mn(k) is Fano if and only if ki = ±1 for all i .

The monotone Kahler class admits a Kahler-Ricci soliton which is Kahler-Einstein if andonly if the number of +1 in k equals the number of −1 in k.

Much of this case recovers previous work of Koiso,Sakane,Guan,Hwang, andApostolov–Calderbank–Gauduchon–Tønnesen-Friedman

Some Results for Stage 3 Bott Manifolds

For stage 3 Bott manifolds the cohomology ring determines its diffeomorphism type(Choi-Masuda-Suh).

We divide stage 3 Bott Manifolds into 3 types: Type 1 is the generic type, not of type 2 or 3.Type 2 has A1

2 = 0 and is CP1 bundle over CP1 × CP1. Type 3 has A23 = 0 and is a

CP1 × CP1 bundle over CP1. Note that types 2 and 3 can have non-trivial intersection.A type 2 stage 3 Bott manifold M3(0,A1

P(1l⊕ O(A13,A

23)). If A1

diffeomorphism types determined by A13A2

3. The number of Bott manifolds in eachdiffeomorphism type is determined by the factorizations of A1

3A23 with fixed parity of

(1 + A13)(1 + A2
