We prove a central limit theorem for the length of closed geodesics in any compact orientable hyperbolic surface. In the special case of a hyperbolic pair of pants, this settles a conjecture of Chas-Li-Maskit.

Derives gradient estimate for a specific nonlinear parabolic equation on Finsler manifolds.

In this paper we prove a new matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for Kähler-Ricci flow. The form of this new Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate is obtained by the interpolation consideration originated in \cite{Ch1}. This new inequality is shown to be connected with Perelman's entropy formula through a family of differential equalit…

I answer an open question left by Gui-Song Li in "On self-intersections of immersed surfaces" (AMS Proceedings, Volume 126, 1998, pp.3721-3726.) The intersection graph $M(i)$ of a generic surface $i:F \to S^3$ is the set of values which are either singularities or intersections. It is a multigraph whose edges are trans…

This paper proves Liouville theorems for conformally invariant fully nonlinear equations.

The paper extends Perelman's theorems on Ricci flow entropy.

We proved a matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton type gradient estimates for the positive solutin of the heat equation on complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. As a consequence we obtain a comparison theorem for the distance function under this curvature assumption.

Lu conjecture proven for minimal 2-spheres and surfaces under certain conditions.

In a recent preprint, Chi Li proved that aymptotically conical complex manifolds with regular tangent cone at infinity admit holomorphic compactifications (his result easily extends to the quasiregular case). In this short note, we show that if the open manifold is Calabi-Yau, then Chi Li's compactification is projecti…

We prove some half-space theorems for minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil_3 and the Lie group Sol_3 endowed with their left-invariant Riemannian metrics. If S is a properly immersed minimal surface in Nil_3 that lies on one side of some entire minimal graph G, then S is the image of G by a vertical translation…

Extends Llarull's theorem to noncompact manifolds with boundary.

Extends Gromov's theorem with amenable covers.

We first proved a compactness theorem of the Kähler metrics, which confirms a prediction of Chen. Then we prove several eigenvalue estimates along the Calabi flow. Combining the compactness theorem and these eigenvalue estimates, we generalize the method developed by Chen-Li-Wang to prove the small energy theorems of t…

Establishes a Li-Yau type inequality for curves in any codimension.

Let (M,I,J,K) be a hyperkahler manifold of real dimension 4n, and L a non-trivial holomorphic line bundle on (M,I). Using the quaternionic Dolbeault complex, we prove the following vanishing theorem for holomorphic cohomology of L. If the Chern class c_1(L) lies in the closure $\hat K$ of the dual Kahler cone, then $H^…

The paper derives new gradient and Hessian estimates for nonlinear parabolic equations.

Estimates for stable minimal hypersurfaces in Euclidean space.

We localize the entropy functionals of G. Perelman and generalize his no-local-collapsing theorem and pseudo-locality theorem. Our generalization is technically inspired by further development of Li-Yau estimate along the Ricci flow. It can be used to show the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of the Kähler Ricci flow on ea…

The paper proves infinitely many free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in compact manifolds.

In the present paper, by using estimates for the generalized Ricci curvature, we shall give some gap theorems for Ricci-harmonic solitons showing some necessary and sufficient conditions for the solitons to be harmonic-Einstein. Our results may be regarded as a generalization of recent works by H. Li, and M. Fernandez-…

Generalizing the result of Li and Tam for the hyperbolic spaces, we prove an existence theorem on the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps with $C^1$ boundary conditions at infinity between asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds.

The main result is a short effective proof of Tao Li's theorem that a closed non Haken hyperbolic 3-manifold N has at most finitely many irreducible Heegaard splittings.

The paper proves criticality criteria and spectral splitting theorems for manifolds with Ricci bounds.

The study establishes comparison theorems for weighted Finsler manifolds and spacetimes.

New proof of splitting theorem and finite ends of minimal hypersurfaces in nonnegative curvature manifolds.

This paper contains some vanishing theorems for $L^2$ harmonic forms on complete Riemannian manifolds with a weighted Poincaré inequality and a certain lower bound of the curvature. The results are in the spirit of Li-Wang and Lam, but without assumptions of sign and growth rate of the weight function, so they can be a…

In the previous work [35], the second and third authors established a Bochner type formula on Alexandrov spaces. The purpose of this paper is to give some applications of the Bochner type formula. Firstly, we extend the sharp lower bound estimates of spectral gap, due to Chen-Wang [9, 10] and Bakry-Qian [6], from smoot…

We prove an extension of a theorem of Barta then we make few geometric applications. We extend Cheng's lower eigenvalue estimates of normal geodesic balls. We generalize Cheng-Li-Yau eigenvalue estimates of minimal submanifolds of the space forms. We prove an stability theorem for minimal hypersurfaces of the Euclidean…

We establish a new criterion for a compatible almost complex structure on a symplectic four-manifold to be integrable and hence Kähler. Our main theorem shows that the existence of three linearly independent closed J-anti-invariant two-forms implies the integrability of the almost complex structure. This proves the con…

Strict convexity is essential for compact minimal surfaces in curved spaces.

In this paper, by using monotonicity formulas for vector bundle-valued $p$-forms satisfying the conservation law, we first obtain general $L^2$ global rigidity theorems for locally conformally flat (LCF) manifolds with constant scalar curvature, under curvature pinching conditions. Secondly, we prove vanishing results …

Local gradient estimates for eigenfunctions on conformal solitons improve Liouville theorems.

In this paper, we mainly prove a theorem with a corollary establishing two characterizations of the Calabi composition of hyperbolic hyperspheres, where the second characterization (i.e., the corollary) has been given via a dual correspondence theorem earlier but now we would like to use a very direct method. Note that…

The study proves that certain stable minimal hypersurfaces must be cylindrical.

The Whitney embedding theorem gives an upper bound on the smallest embedding dimension of a manifold. If a data set lies on a manifold, a random projection into this reduced dimension will retain the manifold structure. Here we present an algorithm to find a projection that distorts the data as little as possible.

Proves effective linear volume growth for 3-manifolds with positive scalar curvature.

Let M be a compact Sasakian manifold. We show that M admits a CR-embedding into a Sasakian manifold diffeomorphic to a sphere, and this embedding is compatible with the respective Reeb fields. We argue that a stronger embedding theorem cannot be obtained. We use an extension theorem for Kaehler geometry: given a compac…

In \cite{LiWang2001complete1,LiWang2001complete2}, Li-Wang proved a splitting theorem for an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $Ric\geqslant -(n-1)$ and the bottom of spectrum $λ_0(M)=\frac{(n-1)^2}{4}$. For an n-dimensional compact manifold $M$ with $Ric\geqslant-(n-1)$ with the volume entropy $h(M)=n-1$, Ledrapp…

In this paper, by applying a linear trace Li-Yau-Hamilton inequality for a positive (1,1)-form solution of the CR Hodge-Laplace heat equation and monotonicity of the heat equation deformation, we obtain an optimal gap theorem for a complete strictly pseudocovex CR manifold with nonnegative pseudohermitian bisectional c…
