Paper proves Whitney stratified spaces can be given a conically smooth structure.

In this note we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a conical pseudomanifold $M$ in terms of $C^\infty$-rings of smooth functions on $M$. For a finitely generated smooth structure $C^\infty (M)$ we introduce the notion of the Nash tangent bundle, the Zariski tangent bundle, the tangent bundle of $M$, and the …

Study finds limits for conical Kähler-Einstein metrics on unstable surfaces.

The paper proves weaker conditions for global smoothings of special Lagrangian submanifolds with conical singularities.

We introduce the conical Kähler-Ricci flow modified by a holomorphic vector field. We construct a long-time solution of the modified conical Kähler-Ricci flow as the limit of a sequence of smooth Kähler-Ricci flows.

Based on C. Li and Y. Rubinstein's upper bisectional curvature bound estimate for the conic Kähler metric, we can construct a smoothing sequence for the conic metric with uniformly upper bisectional curvature bound. For the conic metric along a simple normal crossing divisor with triple or higher multiple points we may…

Smoothness proven for conical Calabi-Yau potentials on Fano cones.

Anomaly term vanishes for smooth conical spaces, non-trivial for cones over tori.

We apply Tian's method in Kahler-Einstein problem to prove that a conic K\''ahler metric with lower Ricci curvature bound can be approximated by smooth K\''ahler metrics with the same lower Ricci curvature bound. Furthermore, conic singularities here can be along a simple normal crossing divisor.

In this note, we show that the conical Kähler-Ricci flows introduced in \cite{CYW} exist for all time $t\in [0,\infty)$ in the weak sense. As a key ingredient of the proof, we show that a conical Kähler-Ricci flow is actually the limit of a sequence of smooth Kähler-Ricci flows.

Proves Verdier duality for sheaves on stratified spaces.

Study shows flow convergence to smooth K-Ricci outside a divisor with cusp singularity.

We study coassociative 4-folds N in R^7 which are asymptotically conical to a cone C with rate lambda<1. If lambda is in the interval [-2,1) and generic, we show that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of N which are also asymptotically conical to C with rate lambda is a smooth manifold, and we calculate it…

Study describes ALF instantons with conical singularities.

The existence of \emph{weak conical Kähler-Einstein} metrics along smooth hypersurfaces with angle between $0$ and $2π$ is obtained by studying a smooth continuity method and a \emph{local Moser's iteration} technique. In the case of negative and zero Ricci curvature, the $C^0$ estimate is unobstructed; while in the ca…

Study on how incomplete smooth metrics degenerate from asymptotically conical Ricci-flat Kähler metrics.

We show that conically smooth stratified spaces embed fully faithfully into $\infty$-categories. This articulates a stratified generalization of the homotopy hypothesis proposed by Grothendieck. As such, each $\infty$-category defines a stack on conically smooth stratified spaces, and we identify the descent conditions…

Paper shows regularizing flow for conical Kähler-Ricci equations.

In this paper we introduce the "interpolation-degneration" strategy to study Kahler-Einstein metrics on a smooth Fano manifold with cone singularities along a smooth divisor that is proportional to the anti-canonical divisor. By "interpolation" we show the angles in $(0, 2π]$ that admit a conical Kahler-Einstein metric…

The paper proves smoothness of mean curvature flow for generic initial data in 3D and 4D.

Polyhomogeneous expansions for Calabi-Yau metrics near singularities.

We partially confirm a conjecture of Donaldson relating the greatest Ricci lower bound $R(X)$ to the existence of conical Kahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold $X$. In particular, if $D\in |-K_X|$ is a smooth simple divisor and the Mabuchi $K$-energy is bounded below, then there exists a unique conical Kahler-Eins…

We investigate the functional determinant of the laplacian on piece-wise flat two-dimensional surfaces, with conical singularities in the interior and/or corners on the boundary. Our results extend earlier investigations of the determinants on smooth surfaces with smooth boundaries. The differences to the smooth case a…

In this note we discuss the problem of resolving conically singular cscK varieties to construct smooth cscK manifolds, showing a glueing result for (some) crepant resolutions of cscK varieties with discrete automorphism groups.

Proves positive mass theorem for AF spin manifolds with conical singularities.

In this paper, we discuss diameter bound and Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of a twisted conical Kähler-Ricci flow on the total spaces of some holomorphic submersions. We also observe that, starting from a model conical Kähler metric with possibly unbounded scalar curvature, the conical Kähler-Ricci flow will instantly h…

The continuity method is used to deform the cone angle of a weak conical Kähler-Einstein metric with cone singularities along a smooth anti-canonical divisor on a smooth Fano manifold. This leads to an alternative proof of Donaldson's Openness Theorem on deforming cone angle \cite{Don} by combining it with the regulari…

Given a coassociative 4-fold N with a conical singularity in a varphi-closed 7-manifold M (a manifold endowed with a distinguished closed 3-form varphi), we construct a smooth family, {N'(t): t\in(0,tau)} for some tau>0, of (smooth, nonsingular,) compact coassociative 4-folds in M which converge to N in the sense of cu…

We show compactness in the locally smooth topology for certain natural families of asymptotically conical self-expanding solutions of mean curvature flow. Specifically, we show such compactness for the set of all two-dimensional self-expanders of a fixed topological type and, in all dimensions, for the set of self-expa…

We solve for the SO(3)-invariant Kahler-Einstein metric on $\mathbb{P}^2$ with cone singularities along a smooth conic curve using numerical approach. The numerical results show the sharp range of angles ($(π/2,2π]$) for the solvability of equations, and the right limit metric space ($P(1,1,4)$). These results exactly …

Study self shrinkers with medium entropy in 4D space.

In the category of metrics with conical singularities along a smooth divisor with angle in $(0, 2π)$, we show that locally defined weak solutions ($C^{1,1}-$solutions) to the Kähler-Einstein equations actually possess maximum regularity, which means the metrics are actually Hölder continuous in the singular polar coord…

The purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness of conical Kähler-Einstein metrics, under the condition that the twisted $Ding$-functional is proper. This is a generalization of the author's previous work, and we shall first investigate the uniqueness of twisted Kähler-Einstein metrics, and then use these smooth p…

The paper discusses polynomial convergence to conical Kähler-Einstein metrics.

In this paper we define a new convergence called "asymptotically conic convergence" in which a smooth family of Riemannian metrics on a fixed compact manifold degenerate to a metric with isolated conic singularity. Our results are: convergence of the spectrum of the geometric Laplacians and uniform convergence of the c…

Estimates ends of Ricci shrinkers, focusing on smooth and singular cases.

Given an associative 3-fold in R^7 which is asymptotically conical with generic rate less than 1, we show that its moduli space of deformations is locally homeomorphic to the kernel of a smooth map between smooth manifolds. Moreover, the virtual dimension of the moduli space is computed and shown to be non-negative for…

Study on spherical conical metrics and their reducibility on compact Riemann surfaces.

In this paper, we prove that on a compact manifold with isolated conical singularity the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator $-4Δ+R$ consists of discrete eigenvalues with finite multiplicities, if the scalar curvature $R$ satisfies a certain condition near the singularity. Moreover, we obtain an asymptotic behavior fo…

New example of non-Kähler soliton with Kähler-like behavior at infinity.

Extends existence results for scalar curvature on conical manifolds.

We prove a regularity result for Monge-Ampère equations degenerate along smooth divisor on Kaehler manifolds in Donaldson's spaces of $β$-weighted functions. We apply this result to study the curvature of Kaehler metrics with conical singularities along divisors and give a geometric sufficient condition on the divisor …

In this article we study the deformation theory of conically singular Cayley submanifolds. In particular, we prove a result on the expected dimension of a moduli space of Cayley deformations of a conically singular Cayley submanifold. Moreover, when the Cayley submanifold is a two-dimensional complex submanifold of a C…
