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 …

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…

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.

Backwards uniqueness proved for flows with asymptotically conical singularities.

We present a method to desingularize a compact G_2 manifold with isolated conical singularities by cutting out a neighbourhood of each singular point and glueing in an asymptotically conical G_2 manifold. Controlling the error on the overlap glueing region enables us to use a result of Joyce to conclude that the result…

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.

This paper is dedicated to the study of deformations of coassociative 4-folds in a G_2 manifold which have conical singularities. We stratify the types of deformations allowed into three problems. The main result for each problem states that the moduli space is locally homeomorphic to the kernel of a smooth map between…

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…

This paper explores the geometric and topological properties of Poncelet porism for triangles.

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…

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…

Classifies 4D toric Hermitian ALF metrics with conical singularities.

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.

In this paper, we are interested in conical structures of manifolds with respect to the Ricci flow and, in particular, we study them from the point of view of Perelman's functionals. In a first part, we study Perelman's $λ$ and $ν$ functionals of cones and characterize their finiteness in terms of the $λ$-functional of…

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…

We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter rectangles. For discrete planar quadrilateral nets, circular nets, $Q^*$-nets and conical…

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 investigate the possibility of desingularizing a positively curved metric cone by an expanding gradient Ricci soliton with positive curvature operator. This amounts to study the deformation of such geometric structures. As a consequence, we prove that the moduli space of conical positively curved gradient Ricci expa…

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 …
