Let Mn be a compact Ka¨hler manifold with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and nonzero first Betti number. We show that the holomorphic Euler number of Mn vanishes, which gives a new obstruction for compact complex manifolds admitting Ka¨hler metrics with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature. A cr…
We develop a parabolic pluripotential theory on compact K{ä}hler manifolds, defining and studying weak solutions to degenerate parabolic complex Monge-Amp{è}re equations. We provide a parabolic analogue of the celebrated Bedford-Taylor theory and apply it to the study of the K{ä}hler-Ricci flow on varieties with log te…
The paper connects Kähler-Ricci shrinkers to Fano fibrations in algebraic geometry.
problem Understanding the relationship between Kähler-Ricci shrinkers and Fano fibrations.
method Using birational algebraic geometry, the paper proves properties of Kähler-Ricci shrinkers and formulates conjectures relating them to Fano fibrations.
result The existence of Kähler-Ricci shrinkers is conjectured to be related to K-stability of polarized Fano fibrations.
We develop a structure theory for non-collapsed Ricci shrinkers without any curvature condition. As applications, we obtain some curvature estimates of the Ricci shrinkers depending only on the non-collapsing constant.
We establish a stability result for elliptic and parabolic complex Monge-Amp{è}re equations on compact K{ä}hler manifolds, which applies in particular to the K{ä}hler-Ricci flow. Dedicated to Jean-Pierre Demailly on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
We show that for a complete Ricci shrinker there exists a sequence of points tending to infinity whose norms of the Ricci tensor grow at most linearly.
We show that recent work of Ni and Wilking yields the result that a noncompact nonflat Ricci shrinker has at most quadratic scalar curvature decay. The examples of noncompact Kähler--Ricci shrinkers by Feldman, Ilmanen, and Knopf exhibit that this result is sharp.
Eigenvalue bounds for Schrödinger operators on Ricci shrinkers and related manifolds.

result Lower bounds for the lowest eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators on Ricci shrinkers and related manifolds, with equality conditions characterized.
In dimension 4, we show that a nontrivial flat cone cannot be approximated by smooth Ricci shrinkers with bounded scalar curvature and Harnack inequality, under the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff topology. As applications, we obtain uniform positive lower bounds of scalar curvature and potential functions on Ricci shrinker…
In this paper we prove some spectral properties of the drifted Laplacian of self-shrinkers properly immersed in gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Then we use these results to prove some geometric properties of self-shrinkers. For example, we describe a collection of domains in the ambient space that cannot contain sel…
In this paper, we systematically study the heat kernel of the Ricci flows induced by Ricci shrinkers. We develop several estimates which are much sharper than their counterparts in general closed Ricci flows. Many classical results, including the optimal Logarithmic Sobolev constant estimate, the Sobolev constant estim…
In this paper, we study the structure of the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of Ricci shrinkers. We define a regular-singular decomposition following the work of Cheeger-Colding for manifolds with a uniform Ricci curvature lower bound, and prove that the regular part of any Ricci shrinker limit space is co…
In this paper we prove that for a complete, connected and oriented Käler affine manifold (M,G) of dimension n, if it is Kähler affine Ricci flat or the Ka¨hler affine scalar curvature S≡0, (n≤5), then the universal covering manifold M of M is isometric to the Euclidean n-space $…

method Adapting and refining recent arguments on CMC hypersurfaces and polynomially weighted Sobolev spaces, with techniques for non-compact shrinkers.
result Identifies a condition ensuring the Morse index of asymptotically conical shrinkers is bounded below by the f-index of their asymptotic cone.
For any complete noncompact Ka¨hler manifold with nonnegative and bounded holomorphic bisectional curvature,we provide the necessary and sufficient condition for non-ancient solution to the Ricci flow in this paper.
By establishing two general quadratic inequalities, we obtain some inequalities related to Ricci curvatures for Lagrangian submanifolds of Ka¨hler QCH-manifolds, which generalize some results for Lagrangian submanifolds of complex space forms.
We consider the volume-normalized Ricci flow close to compact shrinking Ricci solitons. We show that if a compact Ricci soliton (M,g) is a local maximum of Perelman's shrinker entropy, any normalized Ricci flow starting close to it exists for all time and converges towards a Ricci soliton. If g is not a local maxim…
In this paper, we study volume growth, Liouville theorem and the local gradient estimate for f-harmonic functions, and volume comparison property of unit balls in complete noncompact gradient Ricci shrinkers. We also study integral properties of f-harmonic functions and harmonic functions on such manifolds.
In this paper we consider a perturbation of the Ricci solitons equation proposed in \cite{jpb1} and studied in \cite{CaMa} and we classify noncompact gradient shrinkers with bounded nonnegative sectional curvature.
We derive a precise estimate on the volume growth of the level set of a potential function on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. As applications, we obtain the volume growth rate of a complete noncompact self-shrinker and a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. We also prove the equivalence of weighted volume finit…
