2.1. Cheeger-Gromov convergence
Since Gromov introduced the concept of Gromov-Hausdorff topology in [14], the convergence of Riemannian manifolds was studied from various perspectives (c.f. [1], [2], [7], [8], [11], [13], [19], [35], [38] and references in [9]). In [14] and [13], a convergence theorem, the Cheeger-Gromov convergence theorem, was proved for Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature and non-collapsing. The Kähler version of this theorem can be found in [30]. See [7] for the convergence of manifolds with other holonomy groups.
Theorem 2.1 (Kähler version of Cheeger-Gromov convergence theorem).
Let be a family of pointed compact Kähler n-manifolds with sectional curvature and injectivity radius at
for a constant independent of . Then a subsequence of converges to a complete Kähler n-manifold in the pointed -sense, i.e. for any , there are embeddings such that , (resp. and ) converges to (resp. and ) in the -sense.
If we assume that are Einstein metrics, it is shown in [1] that, by passing to a subsequence, converges to in the pointed -sense, and is also an Einstein metric, i.e. (resp. and ) converges to (resp. and ) in the -sense. Assume that are Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau manifolds, and are the corresponding holomorphic volume forms. Since are parallel, i.e. , for any , converge to a holomorphic volume form on in the -sense, and is a complete Ricci-flat Calabi-Yau -manifold.
In [5], [6], the collapsing of Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature was studied by combining blow-up arguments and the Cheeger-Gromov convergence theorem. It was shown that there is a constant depending only on such that there is an -structure of positive rank on a region covering in a Riemannian -manifold , where denotes the subset with injectivity radius and sectional curvature for any . See [5] and [6] for the definition of -structure of positive rank. If we assume that is a Kähler metric, some additional information about the -structure is expected. We have the following conjecture:
Conjecture 2.2.
For any , there exists a constant depending only on such that, if is a closed Kähler n-manifold with , and
then there is an open subset such that , and admits an F-structure of positive rank, whose orbits , , are isotropic submanifolds of , i.e.
We will address this question in other papers. In the present paper, we prove Theorem 1.1 by combining Theorem 2.1 and the deformation theory of special lagrangian fibrations.
