# Curvature of the base manifold of a Monge-Amp\`ere fibration and its existence

## TL;DR

This paper studies the curvature properties of Monge-Ampère fibrations, deriving explicit formulas and conditions for flatness, revealing non-positive curvature and linking the existence of special structures to Higgs-flatness.

## Contribution

It provides explicit curvature formulas for Monge-Ampère fibrations, characterizes when vector bundles admit projectively flat structures, and connects Monge-Ampère fibrations with Higgs-flatness.

## Key findings

- Holomorphic bisectional curvature is non-positive.
- Boundedness of curvature quantities by negative constants.
- Characterization of Monge-Ampère fibrations via Higgs-flatness.

## Abstract

In this paper, we consider a special relative K\"ahler fibration that satisfies a homogenous Monge-Amp\`ere equation, which is called a Monge-Amp\`ere fibration. There exist two canonical types of generalized Weil-Petersson metrics on the base complex manifold of the fibration. For the second generalized Weil-Petersson metric, we obtain an explicit curvature formula and prove that the holomorphic bisectional curvature is non-positive, the holomorphic sectional curvature, the Ricci curvature, and the scalar curvature are all bounded from above by a negative constant. For a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold, we prove that it admits a projectively flat Hermitian structure if and only if the associated projective bundle fibration is a Monge-Amp\`ere fibration. In general, we can prove that a relative K\"ahler fibration is Monge-Amp\`ere if and only if an associated infinite rank Higgs bundle is Higgs-flat. We also discuss some typical examples of Monge-Amp\`ere fibrations.
