result Locally flat structures on VMRTs without 1-flatness assumption.
We show that if the variety of minimal rational tangents (VMRT) of a uniruled projective manifold at a general point is projectively equivalent to that of a symplectic or an odd-symplectic Grassmannian, the germ of a general minimal rational curve is biholomorphic to the germ of a general line in a presymplectic Grassm…
In this short article, we establish a rigidity theorem for pairs of hyperquadrics in a weaker sense, i.e., we impose a condition that minimal rational curves are preserved, which is stronger than inheriting a sub-VMRT structure, a notion raised by Mok & Zhang (2014). This problem has its source in a theorem of Tsai (19…

We study a pair (\mathcal{S}_0,\mathcal{S}) of irreducible Hermitian Symmetric Spaces of compact type (cHSS) in this paper, with the first aim being classifying all the admissible pairs (\mathcal{S}_0,\mathcal{S})). This notion is a natural generalization of the pairs of sub-diagram type originated by Jaehyun Hong and …
