Study of weakly Kähler hyperbolic manifolds, proving Lang and Green-Griffiths conjectures.

Proves a conjecture about Riemann surfaces using PDEs.

The Griffiths conjecture asserts that every ample vector bundle $E$ over a compact complex manifold $S$ admits a hermitian metric with positive curvature in the sense of Griffiths. In this article we give a sufficient condition for a positive hermitian metric on $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}(E^*)}(1)$ to induce a Griffiths …

We exhibit examples of projective varieties with degenerate Gauss mappings and determine numerical invariants of such varieties. Our examples provide counter-examples to an asserted structure theorem of Griffiths and Harris (Ann. Sci. ENS 1979).

The paper proves a pointwise Gysin formula for vector bundles and applies it to show positivity of polynomials.

The paper explores curvature positivity on Kähler and quasi-Kähler flag manifolds.

The paper extends positivity results from vector bundles to Kobayashi positive ones.

Once first answers in any dimension to the Green-Griffiths and Kobayashi conjectures for generic algebraic hypersurfaces $\mathbb{X}^{n-1} \subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ have been reached, the principal goal is to decrease (to improve) the degree bounds, knowing that the `celestial' horizon lies near $d \geqslant 2n…

Proves a formula for push-forward of polynomial Chern forms in universal vector bundles.

Solved Demailly systems for Vortex bundles on manifolds.

Demailly's conjecture, which is a consequence of the Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture on varieties of general type, states that an algebraically hyperbolic complex projective variety is Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our aim is to provide evidence for Demailly's conjecture by verifying several predictions it makes. We first defi…

We discuss the Morse estimates for the curvature of several metrics on Semple weighted projective bundle over a projective variety. Following Demailly works on holomorphic Morse inequalities we show an analogue of his results along the Green-Griffiths conjecture for invariant jets.

Generalizes jet differential bounds and proves asymptotic Serre duality.

Study Bismut-Griffiths-positivity in non-Kähler manifolds under Hermitian curvature flows.

In this paper we prove a conjecture of Bryant, Griffiths, and Yang concerning the characteristic variety for the determined isometric embedding system. In particular, we show that the characteristic variety is not smooth for any dimension greater than 4. This is accomplished by introducing a smaller yet equivalent line…

Following Kobayashi, we consider Griffiths negative complex Finsler bundles, naturally leading us to introduce Griffiths extremal Finsler metrics. As we point out, this notion is closely related to the theory of interpolation of norms, and is characterized by an equation of complex Monge--Ampère type, whose correspondi…

We study a Laplacian operator related to the characteristic cohomology of a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution. We prove that this Laplacian does not behave very well: it is not hypoelliptic in general and does not respect the bigrading on forms in a complex setting. We also discuss the consequences of these n…

The paper proves positivity of third Chern form for certain vector bundles.

Metrics are semipositively curved if they meet a specific asymptotic condition.

We study holomorphic foliations of codimension $k\geq 1$ on a complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n+k$ from the point of view of the exceptional minimal set conjecture. For $n\geq 2$ we show in particular that if the holomorphic normal bundle $N_{\mathcal{F}}$ is Griffiths positive, then the foliation does not admit a c…

Alternative metric defined on vector bundles, proving vanishing theorem.

We generalize Demailly's construction of projective jet bundles and strictly negatively curved pseudometrics on them to the logarithmic case. We establish this logarithmic generalization explicitly via coordinates, just as Noguchi's generalization of the jets used by Green-Griffiths. As a first application, we give a m…

Study on algebraic curves' invariants and vanishing criteria.

We introduce a notion of admissible Hermitian metrics on parabolic bundles and define positivity properties for the same. We develop Chern-Weil theory for parabolic bundles and prove that our metric notions coincide with the already existing algebro-geometric versions of parabolic Chern classes. We also formulate a Gri…

The paper examines positivity properties of singular Hermitian metrics.

Solves Demailly's system for direct sums of ample line bundles on Riemann surfaces.

In this paper we study a particular version of the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF) over a compact complex Hermitian manifold $(M,g,J)$. We prove that if the initial metric has Griffiths positive (non-negative) Chern curvature $Ω$, then this property is preserved along the flow. On a manifold with Griffiths non-negative …

In this paper we look at two naturally occurring situations where the following question arises. When one can find a metric so that a Chern-Weil form can be represented by a given form ? The first setting is semi-stable Hartshorne-ample vector bundles on complex surfaces where we provide evidence for a conjecture of Gr…

Griffiths' first obstruction formula for vector bundles is derived.

The paper proves conditions for vector bundles to be Kobayashi and Griffiths positive.

Upper bounds on projective rigidity of each homogeneously embedded homogeneous variety are determined; and a new, invariant characterization of the Fubini forms is given.

The paper studies curvature properties of vector bundles and their applications to quasi-Fuchsian space.

In this paper we establish partial structure results on the geometry of compact Hermitian manifolds of semipositive Griffiths curvature. We show that after appropriate arbitrary small deformation of the initial metric, the null spaces of the Chern-Ricci two-form generate a holomorphic, integrable distribution. This dis…

The paper proves conditions for Kähler-Einstein metrics on certain bundles.

The paper proves extension theorems for complex manifolds with Levi $q$-concave domains.

Constructs a convex Finsler metric on vector bundles under specific conditions.

We prove a bound relating the volume of a curve near a cusp in a hyperbolic manifold to its multiplicity at the cusp. The proof uses a hybrid technique employing both the geometry of the uniformizing group and the algebraic geometry of the toroidal compactification. There are a number of consequences: we show that for …

The infinitesimal period relation (also known as Griffiths' transversality) is the system of partial differential equations constraining variations of Hodge structure. This paper presents a study of the characteristic cohomology associated with that system of pde.

I show that any complex manifold that resembles a rank two compact Hermitian symmetric space (other than a quadric hypersurface) to order two at a general point must be an open subset of such a space.

We investigate the fundamental group of Griffiths' space, and the first singular homology group of this space and of the Hawaiian Earring by using (countable) reduced tame words. We prove that two such words represent the same element in the corresponding group if and only if they can be carried to the same tame word b…

We calculate the singular homology and Čech cohomology groups of the Harmonic archipelago. As a corollary, we prove that this space is not homotopy equivalent to the Griffiths space. This is interesting in view of Eda's proof that the first singular homology groups of these spaces are isomorphic.

The dual variety X* for a smooth n-dimensional variety X of the projective space P^N is the set of tangent hyperplanes to X. In the general case, the variety X* is a hypersurface in the dual space (P^N)*. If dim X* < N - 1, then the variety X is called dually degenerate. The authors refine these definitions for a varie…

We study the variational problem for $N$-parallel curves on a Finslerian surface by means of Exterior Differential Systems using Griffiths' method. We obtain the conditions when these curves are extremals of a length functional and write the explicit form of Euler-Lagrange equations for this type of variational problem…

We prove a Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for the determinantal loci of a morphism between two holomorphic vector bundles $E$ and $F$ over a complex manifold under the condition that $E^*\ox F$ is Griffiths $k$-positive. We apply this result to find some homotopy groups of the Brill-Noether loci for a generic curve.
