In this paper, we investigate the moduli of continuity for viscosity solutions of a wide class of nonsingular quasilinear evolution equations and also for the level set mean curvature flow, which is an example of singular degenerate equations. We prove that the modulus of continuity is a viscosity subsolution of some o…

Study continuity of phi-invariant for degenerating graphs.

Study special Lagrangian moduli spaces with boundary.

We investigate a semi-continuity property for stability conditions for sheaves that is important for the problem of variation of the moduli spaces as the stability condition changes. We place this in the context of a notion of stability previously considered by the authors, called multi-Gieseker-stability, that general…

In this paper we continue our study on the moduli spaces of flat G-bundles, for any semi-simple Lie group G, over a Riemann surface by using heat kernel and Reidemeister torsion.

Paper relates new compactification to classical moduli space.

The paper explores metrics on tree moduli spaces and a new topological group.

The 'moduli continuity method' permits an explicit algebraisation of the Gromov-Hausdorff compactification of Kähler-Einstein metrics on Fano manifolds in some fundamental examples. In this paper, we apply such method in the 'log setting' to describe explicitly some compact moduli spaces of K-polystable log Fano pairs.…

We extend the Weil-Petersson metric to a projective variety with continuous local potentials.

Study of infinite type surfaces' mapping class groups via hyperbolic structures.

We prove a very general Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence on arbitrary compact Hermitian manifolds. This correspondence refers to moduli spaces of "universal holomorphic oriented pairs". Most of the classical moduli problems in complex geometry (e. g. holomorphic bundles with reductive structure groups, holomorphic pair…

Study on regularity of exceptional actions and moduli of continuity for circle diffeomorphisms.

In this paper we study the relationship between three compactifications of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a fixed Hermitian vector bundle over a projective algebraic manifold of arbitrary dimension. Via the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem, this space is analytically isomorphic to the moduli spa…

The paper studies moduli spaces of non-smooth metric structures with non-negative Ricci curvature.

Let S be an orientable, finite type surface with negative Euler characteristic. The augmented moduli space of convex real projective structures on S was first defined and topologized by the first author. In this article, we give an explicit description of this topology using explicit coordinates. More precisely, given …

We study the dynamics of the Teichmuller flow in the moduli space of Abelian differentials (and more generally, its restriction to any connected component of a stratum). We show that the (Masur-Veech) absolutely continuous invariant probability measure is exponentially mixing for the class of Holder observables. A geom…

We establish the estimates of modulus of continuity for viscosity solutions of nonlinear evolution equations on manifolds, extending previous work of B. Andrews and J. Clutterbuck for regular solutions on manifolds \cite{AC3} and the first author's recent work for viscosity solutions in Euclidean spaces \cite{me1}.

We classify the connected components of the space of representations of the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface of genus $\geq 2$ in $Sp(4,{\mathbf R})$. We prove that this is equivalent to classifying the connected components of the moduli space of representations (which consists of conjugacy classes of red…

In this note, we prove that there is a canonical continuous Hermitian metric on the CM line bundle over the proper moduli space $\bar{\mathcal{M}}$ of smoothable Kahler-Einstein Fano varieties. The curvature of this metric is the Weil-Petersson current, which exists as a positive (1,1)-current on $\bar{\mathcal{M}}$ an…

Proves conditions for Fourier transforms in rank 1 symmetric spaces.

We continue the study of linear families of contact forms on 3-manifolds begun in our paper `Contact geometry and complex surfaces'. The present paper introduces Teichmuller and moduli spaces for so-called taut contact circles. By constructing a developing map for taut contact circles, we show that these geometrically …

We consider moduli spaces of cyclic configurations of $N$ lines in a $2n$-dimensional symplectic vector space, such that every set of $n$ consecutive lines generates a Lagrangian subspace. We study geometric and combinatorial problems related to these moduli spaces, and prove that they are isomorphic to quotients of sp…

Geometric correspondence links flow metrics to reparameterizations.

This work is a continuation of the former paper in which principal bundles are given by compact spin toric manifolds and compact connected semisimple Lie groups. In this paper, ambient manifolds are assumed to be compact toric manifolds and Lie groups are compact connected. The main result is that locally smooth manifo…

In this paper we continue our study on the canonical metrics on the Teichmüller and the moduli space of Riemman surfaces. We first prove the equivalence of the Bergman metric and the Carathéodory metric to the Kähler-Einstein metric, solving another old conjecture of Yau. We then prove that the Ricci curvature of the p…

Sharp Lipschitz bounds and gradient estimates for fully nonlinear parabolic equations.

This is the extended version of the paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, I: Moduli spaces", which discusses the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the compactification problem for moduli spaces of compact SLs in Calabi-Yau manifolds. The conif…

Geometric Invariant Theory applied to Kähler manifolds yields analytic models for vector bundles.

The paper proves prevalent existence and partially determines moduli space of area-minimizing surfaces with fractal singular sets.

We define a moduli space of translation structures on the open topological disk with a basepoint and endow it with a locally-compact metrizable topology. We call this the immersive topology, because it is defined using the concept of immersions: continuous maps between subsets of translation surfaces that respect the b…

In this paper we investigate the properties of series of vacua in the string theory landscape. In particular, we study minima to the flux potential in type IIB compactifications on the mirror quintic. Using geometric transitions, we embed its one dimensional complex structure moduli space in that of another Calabi-Yau …

We study the modularity of the genus zero open Gromov-Witten potentials and its generating matrix factorizations for elliptic orbifolds. These objects constructed by Lagrangian Floer theory are a priori well-defined only around the large volume limit. It follows from modularity that they can be analytically continued o…

Let S be a nonexceptional oriented surface of finite type. We construct an uncountable family of probability measures on the space of area on holomorphic quadratic differentials over the moduli space for S containing the usual Lebesgue measure. These measures are invariant under the Teichmueller geodesic flow, and they…

We discuss the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the compactification problem for moduli spaces of compact SLs in Calabi-Yau manifolds. This category allows for the simultaneous presence of conical singularities and of non-compact, asymptotic…

We extend Teichmueller dynamics to a flow on the total space of a flat bundle of deformation spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a fixed surface S in a Lie group G. The resulting dynamical system is a continuous version of the action of the mapping class group of S on the deformation space. We observe…

Study of Quillen metric on Riemann surfaces with cusps and compactification.

A recent paper (arxiv.org:1810.00025) studied properties of a compactification of the moduli space of irreducible Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a hermitian bundle over a projective algebraic manifold. In this follow-up note, we show that the Yang-Mills flow at infinity on the space of semistable integrable connec…

New conjectures link SU(r) Vafa-Witten invariants to Ramanujan's continued fractions.

In this paper we raise the question whether every closed Riemannian manifold has a spine of minimal area, and we answer it affirmatively in the surface case. On constant curvature surfaces we introduce the spine systole, a continuous real function on moduli space that measures the minimal length of a spine in each surf…
