We determine bubble tree convergence for a sequence of harmonic maps, with uniform energy bounds, from a compact Riemann surface into a compact locally CAT(1) space. In particular, we demonstrate energy quantization and the no-neck property for such a sequence. In the smooth setting, Jost and Parker respectively establ…

Proves finite step termination of Kähler-Einstein metric singularity formation.

Let $(M; g)$ be a smooth compact Riemiannian manifold without boundary and $g_{k}$ be a metric conformal to $g$. Suppose $vol(M; g_{k})+||R_{k}||_{L^{p}(M;g_{k})} < C$, where $R_{k}$ is the scalar curvature and $p > \frac{n}{2}$. We will use the 3-circle theorem and the John-Nirenberg inequality to study the bubble tre…

In this paper we develop a bubble tree structure for a degenerating class of Riemannian metrics satisfying some global conformal bounds on compact manifolds of dimension 4. Applying the bubble tree structure, we establish a gap theorem, a finiteness theorem for diffeomorphism type for this class, and a diameter bound f…

We study a class of weakly conformal $3$-harmonic maps, called associative Smith maps, from $3$-manifolds into $7$-manifolds that parametrize associative $3$-folds in Riemannian $7$-manifolds equipped with $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures. Associative Smith maps are solutions of a conformally invariant nonlinear first order P…

We investigate the Hawking energy of small surfaces in space times without symmetry assumptions by introducing the notion of Hawking type functionals. In particular, we find that Hawking type functionals are generalized Willmore functionals which allows us to find area constrained, minimizing, immersed, haunted bubble …

The paper proves a new method to find the maximum Laplace eigenvalues on surfaces.

The goal of the present work is twofold. First we prove the existence of an Hilbert Manifold structure on the space of immersed oriented closed surfaces with three derivatives in $L^2$ in an arbitrary sub-manifold $M^m$ of an euclidian space $R^Q$. Second, using this Hilbert manifold structure, we prove a lower semi co…

For the class of approximate harmonic maps $u\in W^{1,2}(Σ,N)$ from a closed Riemmanian surface $(Σ,g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N, h)$, we show that (i) the so-called energy identity holds for weakly convergent approximate harmonic maps $\{u_n\}:Σ\to N$, with tension fields $τ(u_n)$ bounded in the Morrey spa…

This paper proves compactness of conformal Chern-minimal surfaces in Hermitian surfaces.

In this paper, we build up a min-max theory for minimal surfaces using sweepouts of surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$. We develop a direct variational methods similar to the proof of the famous Plateau problem by J. Douglas and T. Rado. As a result, we show that the min-max value for the area functional can be achieved by a …

Given a principal bundle $P\to M$ over a Riemannian manifold with compact structure group $G$, let us consider a stationary Yang-Mills connection $A$ with energy $\int_M |F_A|^2\le Λ$. If we consider a sequence of such connections $A_i$, then it is understood that up to subsequence we can converge $A_i\to A$ to a singu…

We introduce a notion of generalized Willmore functionals motivated by the Hawking energy of General Relativity and bending energies of membranes. An example of a bending energy is discussed in detail. Using results of Y. Chen and J. Li, we present a compactness result for branched, immersed, haunted, stratified surfac…
