Study on exact Lagrangian submanifolds in unit ball with Legendrian boundary.

We study manifolds satisfying a weighed Poincare inequality, which was first introduced by Li-Wang. We generalized one of their results by relaxing the Ricci curvature bound condition only being satisfied outside a compact set and established a finitely many ends result. We proved a vanishing result for $L^2$ harmonic …

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…

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…

We study dynamic optimal portfolio allocation for monotone mean--variance preferences in a general semimartingale model. Armed with new results in this area we revisit the work of Cui, Li, Wang and Zhu (2012, MAFI) and fully characterize the circumstances under which one can set aside a non-negative cash flow while sim…

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

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, we consider immersed two-sided minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite total curvature. We prove that the sum of the Morse index and the nullity of the Jacobi operator is bounded from below by a linear function of the number of ends and the first Betti number of the hypersurface. When $n=4$, …

In this paper we develop new methods for studying the convergence problem for the heat flow on negatively curved spaces and prove that any quasiconformal map of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, $n\geq 3$, can be extended to the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space such that the heat flow starting with this extension converge…

We construct a canonical Hausdorff complex analytic moduli space of Fano manifolds with Kähler-Ricci solitons. This naturally enlarges the moduli space of Fano manifolds with Kähler-Einstein metrics, which was constructed by Odaka and Li-Wang-Xu. We discover a moment map picture for Kähler-Ricci solitons, and give comp…

Let $(Σ,g)$ be a closed Riemannian surface, $\textbf{G}=\{σ_1,\cdots,σ_N\}$ be an isometric group acting on it. Denote a positive integer $\ell=\inf_{x\inΣ}I(x)$, where $I(x)$ is the number of all distinct points of the set $\{σ_1(x),\cdots,σ_N(x)\}$. A sufficient condition for existence of solutions to the mean field …

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian surface without boundary, $W^{1,2}(M)$ be the usual Sobolev space, $J: W^{1,2}(M)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be the functional defined by $J(u)=\frac{1}{2}\int_M|\nabla u|^2dv_g+8π\int_M udv_g-8π\log\int_Mhe^udv_g,$ where $h$ is a positive smooth function on $M$. In an inspiring work (…

We first give a local gradient estimat…

We also give a geometric interpretation of a fourth result of Morita. One motivation of this work is to facilitate the application of …

Study proves structure results for homogeneous spaces supporting specific equations.

We prove a rigidity result in the sphere which allows us to generalize a result about smooth convex hypersurfaces in the sphere by Do Carmo-Warner to convex $C^2$-hypersurfaces. We apply these results to prove $C^{1,β}$-convergence of inverse F-curvature flows in the sphere to an equator in \mathbb{S}^{n+1} for embedde…

New rigidity results for specific hypersurfaces in spacetimes.

This article studies the nonabelian localization results of Beasley and Witten, and considers the analogue of these results when the gauge group is U(1). It compares these results with results of Manoliu on abelian Chern-Simons theory, showing that the dependence on the coupling constant is the same.

We obtain two types of results on positive scalar curvature metrics for compact spin manifolds that are even dimensional. The first type of result are obstructions to the existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on such manifolds, expressed in terms of end-periodic eta invariants that were defined by Mrowka-Ruber…

We extend their result to noncompact groups and manifolds. This leads to a result for cocompact actions, and a result for non-cocompact actions for reduction at zero. The r…

In this paper we show a quantitative rigidity result for the minimizer of the Willmore functional among all projective planes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 4$.
