Sharp inequalities on curved spaces with bounded curvature.

The paper proves a Moser-Trudinger inequality on metric spaces with curvature-dimension conditions.

New inequality criterion for a mean field equation on spheres.

We derive the sharp Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequalities on the standard $n$-sphere and CR $(2n+1)$- sphere as the limit of the sharp fractional Sobolev inequalities for all $n\ge 1$. On the $2$-sphere and $4$-sphere, this was established recently by S.-Y. Chang and F. Wang. Our proof uses an alternative and elementary …

We prove the conjecture of Tian on the strong form of the Moser-Trudinger inequality for Kahler-Einstein manifolds with positive first Chern class, when there are no holomorphic vector fields, and, more generally, when the setting is invariant under a maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group.

The paper proves a Moser-Trudinger inequality for zero-mean functions in 2D.

A classical result of Aubin states that the constant in Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality on $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ can be imporved for furnctions with zero first order moments of the area element. We generalize it to higher order moments case. These new inequalities bear similarity to a sequence of Lebedev-Milin type inequa…

Sharp heat kernel and Green's function estimates on Euclidean volume growth manifolds.

We verify a conjecture of Gillet-Soulé. We prove that the determinant of the Laplacian on a line bundle over $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ is always bounded from above. This can also be viewed as a multi-particle generalization of the Moser-Trudinger Inequality. Furthermore, we conjecture that this functional achieves its maximum …

New inequality on sphere generalizes circle inequality.

In the first part of the paper we investigate some geometric features of Moser-Trudinger inequalities on complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds. By exploring rearrangement arguments, isoperimetric estimates, and gluing local uniform estimates via Gromov's covering lemma, we provide a Coulhon, Saloff-Coste and Varopo…

Through the study of some elliptic and parabolic fully nonlinear PDEs, we establish conformal versions of quermassintegral inequality, the Sobolev inequality and the Moser-Trudinger inequality for the geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor on locally conformally flat manifolds.

We prove Aubin's "Hypothese fondamentale" concerning the existence of Moser-Trudinger type inequalities on any integral compact Kähler manifold X. In the case of the anti-canonical class on a Fano manifold the constants in the inequalities are shown to only depend on the dimension of X (but there are counterexamples to…

Uniform proof of Kähler-Einstein metrics with arbitrary polarizations.

Study on finite entropy and energy in Kähler geometry.

When revisiting the Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal $p$-Laplacian eigenvalue of a bounded open set in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth boundary, we simply rename it as the $p$-Faber-Krahn inequality and interestingly find that this inequality may be improved but also characterized through Maz'ya's capacity method, th…

This note proves sharp affine Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities which are stronger than all known sharp Euclidean Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities and imply the affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities. The logarithmic version of affine $L^{p}-$Sobolev inequalities is verified. Moreover, An alternative proof of the affine Mo…

The paper extends entropy concepts to Monge-Ampère measures with prescribed singularities.

We prove that the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on a Fano manifold is equivalent to the properness of the energy functionals defined by Bando, Chen, Ding, Mabuchi and Tian on the set of Kahler metrics with positive Ricci curvature. We also prove that these energy functionals are bounded from below on this set i…

Classifies singular solutions to Liouville equation with constant Q-curvature metrics.

We study the blow-up behaviour of minimizing sequences for the singular Moser-Trudinger functional on compact surfaces. Assuming non-existence of minimum points, we give an estimate for the infimum value of the functional. This result can be applied to give sharp Onofri-type inequalities on the sphere in the presence o…

Mabuchi introduced multiplier Hermitian structures on compact Kahler manifolds and defined metrics similar to Kahler-Einstein metrics under these structures. In this note we generalize the inequality of Moser-Trudinger type on Kahler-Einstein manifolds to this case.

Let $Ω$ be an annulus. We prove that the mean field equation $-Δψ=\frac{e\sp{-βψ}}{\int\sbΩe\sp{-βψ}} $ admits a solution with zero boundary for $β\in (-16π,-8π)$. This is a supercritical case for the Moser-Trudinger inequality.

In this paper, we show that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics is closely related to the properness of corresponding energy functionals. Under the condition that admitting no nontrivial Hamiltonian holomorphic vector field, we prove that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metric implies a Moser-Trudinger type i…

Researchers find Kähler-Einstein metrics near isolated log terminal singularities.

In this article and in its sequel we propose the study of certain discretizations of geometric evolution equations as an approach to the study of the existence problem of some elliptic partial differential equations of a geometric nature as well as a means to obtain interesting dynamics on certain infinite-dimensional …

Analyzes Kähler-Einstein metrics on families of Fano varieties.

Extends Toda system existence results to negative functions.

The main purpose of this paper is to prove a sharp Sobolev inequality in an exterior of a convex bounded domain. There are two ingredients in the proof: One is the observation of some new isoperimetric inequalities with partial free boundary, and the other is an integral inequality (due to Duff [9]) for any nonnegative…

We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted versions to more singular situations. Applications to Monge-Ampère equations of mean fi…

We prove a conjecture saying that complex projective space has maximal volume (degree) among all toric Kaehler-Einstein manifolds of dimension n. The proof is inspired by our recent work on sharp Moser-Trudinger and Brezis-Merle type inequalities for the complex Monge-Ampere operator, but is essentially self-contained.

In this paper, we apply the Tian-Yau-Zelditch expansion of the Bergman kernel on polarized Kähler metrics to approximate plurisubharmonic functions and compute the $α$-invariant of $CP^2#2\bar{CP^2}$, which is exactly 1/3. In addition we prove Tian's conjecture on the generalized Moser-Trudinger inequality in a special…

This manuscript served as lecture notes for a mini-course in the 2016 Southern California Geometric Analysis Seminar Winter School. The goal is to give a quick introduction to Kahler geometry by describing the recent resolution of Tian's three influential properness conjectures in joint work with T. Darvas. These resul…

We define the "sum of squares of the wavelengths" of a Riemannian surface (M,g) to be the regularized trace of the inverse of the Laplacian. We normalize by scaling and adding a constant, to obtain a "mass", which is scale invariant and vanishes at the round sphere. This is an anlaog for closed surfaces of the ADM mass…

Both analytic and geometric forms of an optimal monotone principle for $L^p$-integral of the Green function of a simply-connected planar domain $Ω$ with rectifiable simple curve as boundary are established through a sharp one-dimensional power integral estimate of Riemann-Stieltjes type and the Huber analytic and geome…

We prove sharp inequalities for determinants of Toeplitz operators and twisted Laplace operators on the two-sphere, generalizing the Moser-Trudinger-Onofri inequality. In particular a sharp version of conjectures of Gillet-Soule and Fang motivated by Arakelov geometry is obtained; applications to SU(2)-invariant determ…

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result, translated to the realm of convex geometry, thus confirms Ehrhart's volume conjecture fo…

New approach to prescribing Gaussian curvature on spheres with conical singularities.

In this paper we study asymptotic behavior of $n$-superharmonic functions at isolated singularity using the Wolff potential and $n$-capacity estimates in nonlinear potential theory. Our results are inspired by and extend those of Arsove-Huber and Taliaferro in 2 dimensions. To study $n$-superharmonic functions we use a…

We characterize the global maximizers of a certain non-local functional defined on the space of all positively curved metrics on an ample line bundle L over a Kahler manifold X. This functional is an adjoint version, introduced by Berndtsson, of Donaldson's L-functional and generalizes the Ding-Tian functional whose cr…

Well-known conjectures of Tian predict that existence of canonical Kahler metrics should be equivalent to various notions of properness of Mabuchi's K-energy functional. In some instances this has been verified, especially under restrictive assumptions on the automorphism group. We provide counterexamples to the origin…
