Let us consider a projective manifold $M^n$ and a smooth volume form $\Omega$ on $M$. We define the gradient flow associated to the problem of $\Omega$-balanced metrics in the quantum formalism, the $\Omega$-balancing flow. At the limit of the quantization, we prove that (see Theorem 1) the $\Omega$-balancing flow converges towards a natural flow in Kähler geometry, the $\Omega$-Kähler flow. We also prove the long time existence of the $\Omega$-Kähler flow and its convergence towards Yau’s solution to the Calabi conjecture of prescribing...

We consider the gradient flow of the Yang–Mills–Higgs functional of Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E,H_0)$ over a Kähler surface $(M,\omega )$, and study the asymptotic behavior of the heat flow for Higgs pairs at infinity. The main result is that the gradient flow with initial condition $(A_0,{\phi }_0)$ converges, in an appropriate sense which takes into account bubbling phenomena, to a critical point $(A_{\infty },{\phi }_{\infty })$ of this functional. We also prove that the limiting Higgs pair $(A_{\infty },{\phi }_{\infty })$ can be extended smoothly to a vector bundle...

The object of the present paper is to study $\eta$-Ricci solitons on $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifolds. It is shown that if $\xi$ is a recurrent torse forming $\eta$-Ricci soliton on an $\eta$-Einstein ${\left(LCS\right)}_n$-manifold then $\xi$ is (i) concurrent and (ii) Killing vector field.

We show, using a direct variational approach, that the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Ampère equation in ${ℝ}^n$ with exponential non-linearity and target a convex body $P$ is solvable iff $0$ is the barycenter of $P.$ Combined with some toric geometry this confirms, in particular, the (generalized) Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric log Fano varieties $(X,\Delta )$ saying that $(X,\Delta )$ admits a (singular) Kähler-Einstein metric iff it is K-stable in the algebro-geometric sense. We thus obtain a new...

We study compact Kähler manifolds $X$ admitting nonvanishing holomorphic vector fields, extending the classical birational classification of projective varieties with tangent vector fields to a classification modulo deformation in the Kähler case, and biholomorphic in the projective case. We introduce and analyze a new class of $\mathrm{𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$, and show that they form a smooth subspace in the Kuranishi space of deformations of the complex structure of $X$. We extend Calabi’s theorem on the structure of...

In this paper we study the balanced metrics on some Hartogs triangles of exponent $\gamma \in {\mathbb{Z}}^{+}$, i.e., $${\Omega }_n\left(\gamma \right)=\{z=(z_1,\cdots ,z_n)\in {ℂ}^n:|z_1{|}^{1/\gamma }<|z_2|<\cdots <|z_n|<1\}$$ equipped with a natural Kähler form ${\omega }_{g\left(\mu \right)}:=\frac{1}{2}(i/\pi )\partial \overline{\partial }{\Phi }_n$ with $${\Phi }_n\left(z\right)=-{\mu }_{1}ln\left(\right|z_2{|}^{2\gamma }-\left|z_1{|}^2\right)-\sum _{i=2}^{n-1}{\mu }_{i}ln\left(\right|z_{i+1}{|}^2-\left|z_i{|}^2\right)-{\mu }_{n}ln(1-|z_n{|}^2),$$ where $\mu =({\mu }_1,\cdots ,{\mu }_n)$, ${\mu }_i>0$, depending on $n$ parameters. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we compute the explicit expression for the weighted Bergman kernel function for $({\Omega }_n\left(\gamma \right),g\left(\mu \right))$ and we prove that $g\left(\mu \right)$ is balanced if and only if ${\mu }_1>1$ and $\gamma {\mu }_1$ is an integer, ${\mu }_i$ are integers such that ${\mu }_i\ge 2$ for all $i=2,...,n-1$, and ${\mu }_n>1$. Second, we prove that $g\left(\mu \right)$ is Kähler-Einstein if and only if ${\mu }_1={\mu }_2=\cdots ={\mu }_n=2\lambda$, where...

To any smooth compact manifold $M$ endowed with a contact structure $H$ and partially integrable almost CR structure $J$, we prove the existence and uniqueness, modulo high-order error terms and diffeomorphism action, of an approximately Einstein ACH (asymptotically complex hyperbolic) metric $g$ on $M\times (-1,0)$. We consider the asymptotic expansion, in powers of a special defining function, of the volume of $M\times (-1,0)$ with respect to $g$ and prove that the log term coefficient is independent of $J$ (and any choice...

Let $(X,\omega )$ be a compact Kähler manifold. We obtain uniform Hölder regularity for solutions to the complex Monge-Ampère equation on $X$ with $L^p$ right hand side, $p>1$. The same regularity is furthermore proved on the ample locus in any big cohomology class. We also study the range $(X,\omega )$ of the complex Monge-Ampère operator acting on $\omega$-plurisubharmonic Hölder continuous functions. We show that this set is convex, by sharpening Kołodziej’s result that measures with $L^p$-density belong to $(X,\omega )$ and proving that...

Let $X$ be a complex Fano manifold of arbitrary dimension, and $D$ a prime divisor in $X$. We consider the image ${𝒩}_1(D,X)$ of ${𝒩}_1\left(D\right)$ in ${𝒩}_1\left(X\right)$ under the natural push-forward of $1$-cycles. We show that ${\rho }_X-{\rho }_D\le codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)\le 8$. Moreover if $codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)\ge 3$, then either $X\cong S\times T$ where $S$ is a Del Pezzo surface, or $codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)=3$ and $X$ has a fibration in Del Pezzo surfaces onto a Fano manifold $T$ such that ${\rho }_X-{\rho }_T=4$.

Let ${\overline{L}}_i\to X_i$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i=1,2$. Let $S_i$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on ${\overline{L}}_i$. We construct complex structures on $S=S_1\times S_2$ which we refer to as scalar, diagonal, and linear types. While scalar type structures always exist, the more general diagonal but non-scalar type structures are constructed assuming that ${\overline{L}}_i$ are equivariant ${\left({ℂ}^{*}\right)}^{n_i}$-bundles satisfying some additional conditions....

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\Delta$ be a $ℝ$-divisor with simple normal crossing support and coefficients between $1/2$ and $1$. Assuming that $K_X+\Delta$ is ample, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a negatively curved Kahler-Einstein metric on $X\setminus \mathrm{Supp}\left(\Delta \right)$ having mixed Poincaré and cone singularities according to the coefficients of $\Delta$. As an application we prove a vanishing theorem for certain holomorphic tensor fields attached to the pair $(X,\Delta )$.

Based on the results of the first two parts to this paper, we prove that the canonical bundle of a minimal Kähler threefold ( $K_X$ is nef) is good,its Kodaira dimension equals the numerical Kodaira dimension, (in particular some multiple of $K_X$ is generated by global sections); unless $X$ is simple. “Simple“ means that there is no compact subvariety through the very general point of $X$ and $X$ not Kummer. Moreover we show that a compact Kähler threefold with only terminal singularities...

We show that the only flow solving the stochastic differential equation (SDE) on $ℝ$ $$\mathrm{d}{X}_t=1_{\{X_{t}gt;0\}}{W}^{+}\left(\mathrm{d}t\right)+1_{\{X_{t}lt;0\}}\mathrm{d}{W}^{-}\left(\mathrm{d}t\right),$$ where $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ are two independent white noises, is a coalescing flow we will denote by ${\varphi }^{\pm }$. The flow ${\varphi }^{\pm }$ is a Wiener solution of the SDE. Moreover, $K^{+}=𝖤\left[{\delta }_{{\varphi }^{\pm }}\right|W^{+}]$ is the unique solution (it is also a Wiener solution) of the SDE $$K_{s,t}^{+}f\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right)+{\int }_s^t{K}_{s,u}\left(1_{ℝ}^{+}{f}^{\text{'}}\right)\left(x\right)W^{+}\left(\mathrm{d}u\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\int }_s^t{K}_{s,u}f``\left(x\right)\mathrm{d}u$$ for $slt;t$, $x\in ℝ$ and $f$ a twice continuously differentiable function. A third flow ${\varphi }^{+}$ can be constructed out of the $n$-point motions of $K^{+}$. This flow is coalescing and its $n$-point motion...

Suppose M is a noncompact connected n-manifold and ω is a good Radon measure of M with ω(∂M) = 0. Let ℋ(M,ω) denote the group of ω-preserving homeomorphisms of M equipped with the compact-open topology, and ${\mathscr{H}}_E(M,\omega )$ the subgroup consisting of all h ∈ ℋ(M,ω) which fix the ends of M. S. R. Alpern and V. S. Prasad introduced the topological vector space (M,ω) of end charges of M and the end charge homomorphism $c^{\omega }:{\mathscr{H}}_E(M,\omega )\to (M,\omega )$, which measures for each $h\in {\mathscr{H}}_E(M,\omega )$ the mass flow toward ends induced by h. We show that the...

We construct some nondecreasing quantities associated to the first eigenvalue of $-{\Delta }_{\phi }+cR$ $(c\ge \frac{1}{2}(n-2)/(n-1))$ along the Yamabe flow, where ${\Delta }_{\phi }$ is the Witten-Laplacian operator with a $C^2$ function $\phi$. We also prove a monotonic result on the first eigenvalue of $-{\Delta }_{\phi }+\frac{1}{4}(n/(n-1))R$ along the Yamabe flow. Moreover, we establish some nondecreasing quantities for the first eigenvalue of $-{\Delta }_{\phi }+c{R}^a$ with $a\in (0,1)$ along the Yamabe flow.

We prove an estimate for the difference of two solutions of the Schrödinger map equation for maps from $T^1$ to $S^2.$ This estimate yields some continuity properties of the flow map for the topology of $L^2(T^1,S^2)$, provided one takes its quotient by the continuous group action of $T^1$ given by translations. We also prove that without taking this quotient, for any $t\&gt;0$ the flow map at time $t$ is discontinuous as a map from ${𝒞}^{\infty }(T^1,S^2)$, equipped with the weak topology of $H^{1/2},$ to the space of distributions ${\left({𝒞}^{\infty }(T^1,{ℝ}^3)\right)}^{*}.$ The argument relies...

For a finite group $G$ denote by $N\left(G\right)$ the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$. In 1980s, J. G. Thompson posed the following conjecture: If $L$ is a finite nonabelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with trivial center and $N\left(G\right)=N\left(L\right)$, then $G\cong L$. We prove this conjecture for an infinite class of simple groups. Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that every finite group $G$ with the property $Z\left(G\right)=1$ and $N\left(G\right)=N\left(A_i\right)$ is necessarily isomorphic to $A_i$, where $i\in \{2p,2p+1\}$.

We establish the local-in-time existence of a solution to the non-resistive magneto-micropolar fluids with the initial data $u_0\in H^{s-1+\epsilon }$, $w_0\in H^{s-1}$ and $b_0\in H^s$ for $s>\frac{3}{2}$ and any $0<\epsilon <1$. The initial regularity of the micro-rotational velocity $w$ is weaker than velocity of the fluid $u$.
