We prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak Kahler-Ricci flow on projective varieties with log terminal singularities. It is also shown that the weak Kahler-Ricci flow can be uniquely continued through divisorial contractions and flips if they exist. We then propose an analytic version of the Minimal Model Progra…
In this note we propose to show that the Kähler-Ricci flow fits naturally within the context of the Minimal Model Program for projective varieties. In particular we show that the flow detects, in finite time, the contraction theorem of any extremal ray and we analyze the singularities of the metric in the case of divis…
We introduce a new effective stability named "divisorial stability" for Fano manifolds which is weaker than K-stability and is stronger than slope stability along divisors. We show that we can test divisorial stability via the volume function. As a corollary, we prove that the first coordinate of the barycenter of the …
We prove that among all Kollár components obtained by plt blow ups of a klt singularity o∈(X,D), there is at most one that is (log-)K-semistable. We achieve this by showing that if such a Kollár component exists, it uniquely minimizes the normalized volume function introduced in [Li15a] among all divisorial valu…
We discuss a technique to construct Ricci-flat hermitian metrics on complements of (some) anticanonical divisors of almost homogeneous manifolds and discuss when this metric is complete and Kähler. This construction has a strong interplay with invariance groups of the same dimension as the manifold acting with an open …

We compute a closed formula for the class of the closure of the locus of curves in Mg that admit an abelian differential of signature κ=(k1,...,kg−2).
We investigate the notion of symplectic divisorial compactification for symplectic 4-manifolds with either convex or concave type boundary. This is motivated by the notion of compactifying divisors for open algebraic surfaces. We give a sufficient and necessary criterion, which is simple and also works in higher dimens…
The paper explores positivity and irreducibility in Hurwitz spaces related to differentials of the second kind.
problem Positivity and irreducibility in Hurwitz spaces of certain covers of the projective line.
method Analyzes strata of differentials of the second kind with fixed multiplicities of zeros and poles, and applies this to show positivity and irreducibility in Hurwitz spaces.
result The Hurwitz spaces of degree d, genus g covers of P1 with pure branching at all but possibly one branch point are irreducible under certain conditions.
For any Q-Gorenstein klt singularity (X,o), we introduce a normalized volume function vol that is defined on the space of real valuations centered at o and consider the problem of minimizing vol. We prove that the normalized volume has a uniform positive lower bound by pro…
Let V be a regular neighborhood of a negative chain of 2-spheres (i.e. exceptional divisor of a cyclic quotient singularity), and let Bp,q be a rational homology ball which is smoothly embedded in V. Assume that the embedding is simple, i.e. the corresponding rational blow-up can be obtained by just a sequen…
This is a continuation to the paper [arXiv:1511.08164] in which a problem of minimizing normalized volumes over Q-Gorenstein klt singularities was proposed. Here we consider its relation with K-semistability, which is an important concept in the study of Kähler-Einstein metrics on Fano varieties. In particul…
In an online contract selection problem there is a seller which offers a set of contracts to sequentially arriving buyers whose types are drawn from an unknown distribution. If there exists a profitable contract for the buyer in the offered set, i.e., a contract with payoff higher than the payoff of not accepting any c…
We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also prove a related structure theorem for locally compact contractive local groups whic…
This paper presents some partial answers to the following question. QUESTION. If a normal space X is the union of an increasing sequence of open sets U(1), U(2), U(3) ... such that each U(n) contracts to a point in X, must X be contractible? The main results of the paper are: THEOREM 1. If a normal space X is the union…
This paper investigates Pareto optimal (PO, for short) insurance contracts in a behavioral finance framework, in which the insured evaluates contracts by the rank-dependent utility (RDU) theory and the insurer by the expected value premium principle. The incentive compatibility constraint is taken into account, so the …
