Let $(M,ω)$ be a Kahler manifold. An integrable function on M is called $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic if it is subharmonic on all q-dimensional complex subvarieties. We prove that a smooth $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function is q-convex. A continuous $ω^q$-plurisubharmonic function admits a local approximation by smooth, $ω^q$-pl…

In this paper, we show that the extremal length functions on Teichmüller space are log-plurisubharmonic. As a corollary, we obtain an alternative proof of L.Liu and W.Su's results on the plurisubharmonicity of extremal length functions. We also obtain alternative proofs of S.Krushkal's results that a function defined b…

In this paper, we study global properties of continuous plurisubharmonic functions on complete noncompact Kähler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature and their applications to the structure of such manifolds. We prove that continuous plurisubharmonic functions with reasonable growth rate on such manifolds c…

Study on residual Monge-Ampère mass for symmetric plurisubharmonic functions.

In this article, we solve the strong openness conjecture on the multiplier ideal sheaves for the plurisubharmonic functions posed by Demailly. We prove two conjectures about the growth of the volumes of the sublevel sets of plurisubharmonic functions related to the complex singularity exponents and quasi-plurisubharmon…

Smoothly bounded domains have special functions that are plurisubharmonic.

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. Let u be an (upper semi-continuous) J-plurisubharmonic functi…

Energy functional on Teichmüller space is plurisubharmonic but not strictly so.

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $θ$ a smooth closed $(1,1)$-real form representing a big cohomology class $α\in H^{1,1}(X,\R)$. The purpose of this note is to show, using pluripotential and viscosity techniques, that any $θ$-plurisubharmonic function $\f$ can be approximated from above by a decreasing sequence…

We consider the (n-1)-plurisubharmonic flow, suggested by Tosatti-Weinkove, and prove a formula for its maximal time of existence. This includes estimates that will be useful in further investigating the flow.

Paper extends Ohsawa-Takegoshi theorem to more general domains, proving removable singularities for plurisubharmonic functions.

We prove the existence of plurisubharmonic functions with prescribed logarithmic singularities on complex 3-folds equipped with a nef class of positive volume. We prove the same result for rational classes on Moishezon n-folds.

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties. Moreover, they exist in abundance whereas the corresponding pluriharmonics are gen…

Strict plurisubharmonicity proven for Teichmüller energy on Hitchin representations.

We prove a linear trace Li-Yau-Hamilton inequality for the Kaehler-Ricci flow. We then use this sharp differential inequality to study the Liouville properties of the plurisubharmonic functions on complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature.

Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide variety of geometric situations, including, for example, Lagrangian plurisubhamon…

Solves a specific Dirichlet problem on Hermitian manifolds.

We prove a Liouville theorem for the plurisubharmonic functions on complete Kaelher manifolds. As the applications, we prove a splitting theorem for complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative biscetional curvature in terms of the linear growth harmonic functions and a optomal gap theorem for such manifolds.

Defines plurisubharmonic metrics on hybrid spaces and proves their canonical extensions.

Recently the authors showed that there is a robust potential theory attached to any calibrated manifold (X,φ). In particular, on X there exist φ-plurisubharmonic functions, φ-convex domains, φ-convex boundaries, etc., all inter-related and having a number of good properties. In this paper we show that, in a strong sens…

New stability thresholds detect K-stability in Fano manifolds.

We show that a positive Borel measure of positive finite total mass, on compact Hermitian manifolds, admits a Holder continuous quasi-plurisubharmonic solution to the Monge-Ampere equation if and only if it is dominated locally by Monge-Ampere measures of Holder continuous plurisubharmonic functions.

Study on finite entropy and energy in Kähler geometry.

We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in abundance whereas the corresponding pluriharmonics are generally quite scarce. A…

Let $Ω$ be a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We introduce the Mabuchi space of strongly plurisubharmonic functions in $Ω$. We study metric properties of this space using Mabuchi geodesics and establish regularity properties of the latter, especially in the ball. As an application we study the existence of local Kähler-Ei…

Study confirms geodesic connectivity and rooftop envelopes in complex Monge-Ampère equation domains.

A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with a triple of complex structures $I, J, K$ satisfying the quaternionic relations. We define a quaternionic analogue of plurisubharmonic functions on hypercomplex manifolds, and interpret these functions geometrically as potentials of HKT (hyperkähler with torsion) metri…

We establish plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of Poisson and Lelong functionals on almost complex manifolds. That is, we generalize the corresponding results for complex manifolds and almost complex manifolds of complex dimension two. We also provide some applications to the regularization of J-plurisubharmonic func…

This is an essay on potential theory for geometric plurisubharmonic functions. It begins with a given closed subset G of the Grassmann bundle $G(p,TX)$ of tangent $p$-planes to a riemannian manifold $X$. This determines a nonlinear partial differential equation which is convex but never uniformly elliptic (p < dim X). …

We introduce a wide subclass ${\cal F}(X,ω)$ of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions in a compact Kähler manifold, on which the complex Monge-Ampère operator is well-defined and the convergence theorem is valid. We also prove that ${\cal F}(X,ω)$ is a convex cone and includes all quasi-plurisubharmonic functions which are …

We make a systematic study of (quasi-)plurisubharmonic envelopes on compact Kähler manifolds, as well as on domains of $\mathbb{C}^n$, by using and extending an approximation process due to Berman [Ber13]. We show that the quasi-psh envelope of a viscosity super-solution is a pluripotential super-solution of a given co…

Pseudo-holomorphic curves on almost complex manifolds have been much more intensely studied than their "dual" objects, the plurisubharmonic functions. These functions are defined classically by requiring that the restriction to each pseudo-holomorphic curve is subharmonic. In this paper subharmonic functions are define…
