We introduce different Finsler metrics on the space of smooth Kähler potentials that will induce a natural geometry on various finite energy classes Eχ~(X,ω). Motivated by questions raised by R. Berman, V. Guedj and Y. Rubinstein, we characterize the underlying topology of these spaces in terms of c…
In this paper, we establish compactness for various geometric curvature energies including integral Menger curvature, and tangent-point repulsive potentials, defined a priori on the class of compact, embedded m-dimensional Lipschitz submanifolds in Rn. It turns out that due to a smoothing effect any seq…
We consdier in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maos into sphere with bi-tension fields bounded in Lp for some p>1. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of Hessian energies by the sum of Hessian energies over finitely many nontrivial biharmonic maps on $\mathbb…
We consider a class of time dependent finite energy multi-soliton solutions of the U(N) integrable chiral model in (2+1) dimensions. The corresponding extended solutions of the associated linear problem have a pole with arbitrary multiplicity in the complex plane of the spectral parameter. Restrictions of these exten…
We give a unified statement and proof of a class of wellknown mean value inequalities for nonnegative functions with a nonlinear bound on the Laplacian. We generalize these to domains with boundary, requiring a (possibly nonlinear) bound on the normal derivative at the boundary. These inequalities give rise to an energ…
We investigate knot-theoretic properties of geometrically defined curvature energies such as integral Menger curvature. Elementary radii-functions, such as the circumradius of three points, generate a family of knot energies guaranteeing self-avoidance and a varying degree of higher regularity of finite energy curves. …
We prove that constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) manifolds with transcendental cohomology class are K-semistable, naturally generalising the situation for polarised manifolds. Relying on a very recent result by R. Berman, T. Darvas and C. Lu regarding properness of the K-energy, it moreover follows that cscK manif…
We study finite energy classes of quasiplurisubharmonic (qpsh) functions in the setting of toric compact K{ä}hler manifolds. We characterize toric qpsh functions and give necessary and sufficient conditions for them to have finite (weighted) energy, both in terms of the associated convex function in R n , and through t…
We investigate probability measures with finite pluricomplex energy. We give criteria insuring that a given measure has finite energy and test these on various examples. We show that this notion is a biholomorphic but not a bimeromorphic invariant.
We show that the set of harmonic maps from the 2-dimensional stratified spheres with uniformly bounded energies contains only finitely many homotopy classes. We apply this result to construct infinitely many harmonic map flows and mean curvature flows of 2-sphere in the connected sum of two closed 3-dimensional manifol…
We prove existence and a.e. regularity of an area minimizing soap film with a bound on energy spanning a given Jordan curve in R^3. The energy of a film is defined to be the sum of its surface area and the length of its singular branched set. The class of surfaces over which area is minimized includes images of disks, …
Given a compact Riemannian manifold (Mn,g) and a fixed cohomology class, [α∗]∈Hk(M), we consider the existence of a minimizer α∈[α∗] of the generalized minimal surface energy ∫M1+∣α∣2dVg. When k=1, we prove the existence of unique minimizers for every cohomology class [α∗]. Next…
Let (X,L) be a polarized projective complex manifold. We show, by a simple toric one-dimensional example, that Mabuchi's K-energy functional on the geodesically complete space of bounded positive (1,1)-forms in the first Chern class of L, endowed with the Mabuchi metric, is not strictly convex modulo automorphisms. How…

problem The study of harmonic heat flow for almost complex structures compatible with a Riemannian metric.
method Definition and analysis of the harmonic heat flow, proving existence and convergence under small energy conditions.
result The flow converges to a Kähler structure if the initial energy is small, but there are finite time singularities for small enough initial energy.
In this paper, we study the blow-up phenomena on the αk-harmonic map sequences with bounded uniformly αk-energy, denoted by $\{u_{α_k}: α_k>1 \quad \mbox{and} \quad α_k\searrow 1\}$, from a compact Riemann surface into a compact Riemannian manifold. If the Ricci curvature of the target manifold is of a positive l…
In this article we study the regularity of stationary points of the knot energies Eα introduced by O'Hara in the range α∈(2,3). In a first step we prove that Eα is C1 on the set of all regular embedded closed curves belonging to H(α+1)/2,2 and calculate its derivative. After that we use the structure…
We develop a definitive physical-space scattering theory for the scalar wave equation on Kerr exterior backgrounds in the general subextremal case |a|<M. In particular, we prove results corresponding to "existence and uniqueness of scattering states" and "asymptotic completeness" and we show moreover that the resulting…
The limit of energies of a sequence of harmonic maps as their annular domains approach the boundary of moduli space depends upon the boundary point approached. The infinite energy case is associated with limits of images containing ruled surfaces. The finite energy case yields a limit of images, under a suitable topolo…
