Establishes Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for nef and big classes.

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Kähler manifold of dimension $n$, and $θ$ be a closed smooth real $(1,1)$-form representing a big and nef cohomology class. We introduce a metric $d_p, p\geq 1$, on the finite energy space $\mathcal{E}^p(X,θ)$, making it a complete geodesic metric space.

Paper proves Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics for stable Kähler bundles.

Paper defines new stability and metrics for complex spaces.

We classify compact Kähler manifolds with semi-positive holomorphic bisectional and big tangent bundles. We also classify compact complex surfaces with semi-positive tangent bundles and compact complex $3$-folds of the form $P(T^*X)$ whose tangent bundles are nef. Moreover, we show that if $X$ is a Fano manifold such t…

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\{θ\}$ be a big cohomology class. We prove several results about the singularity type of full mass currents, answering a number of open questions in the field. First, we show that the Lelong numbers and multiplier ideal sheaves of $θ$-plurisubharmonic functions with full mass a…

We prove the qualitative part of Demailly's conjecture on transcendental Morse inequalities for differences of two nef classes satisfying a numerical relative positivity condition on an arbitrary compact Kähler (and even more general) manifold. The result improves on an earlier one by J. Xiao whose constant $4n$ featur…

We study the behaviour of families of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on a projective Calabi-Yau manifold when the Kahler classes degenerate to the boundary of the ample cone. We prove that if the limit class is big and nef the Ricci-flat metrics converge smoothly on compact sets outside a subvariety to a limit incomplete Ri…

In the previous paper, the author defined equivariant Floer cohomology for a complete intersection in a toric variety and showed that it is isomorphic to the small quantum D-module after a mirror transformation when the first Chern class c_1(M) of the tangent bundle is nef. In this paper, even when c_1(M) is not nef, w…

The Miyaoka-Yau inequality is proven for certain singular varieties with big canonical or anticanonical divisors.

In this paper we extend the notion of Futaki invariant to big and nef classes in such a way that it defines a continuous function on the \K\ cone up to the boundary. We apply this concept to prove that reduced normal crossing singularities are sufficient to check $K$-semistability. A similar improvement on Donaldson's …

Let $(X, D)$ be a logarithmic pair, and let $h$ be a singular metric on the tangent bundle, smooth on the open part of $X$. We give sufficient conditions on the curvature of $h$ for the logarithmic and the standard cotangent bundles to be big. As an application, we give a metric proof of the bigness of logarithmic cota…

Two types of nonvanishing results are presented for compact Kähler varieties.

We generalize the maximal time existence of Kähler-Ricci flow in Tian-Zhang and Song-Tian to conical case. Furthermore, if the twisted canonical bundle $K_{M}+(1-β)[D]$ is big or big and nef, we can expect more on the limit behaviors of such conical Kähler-Ricci flow. Moreover, the results still hold for simple normal …

The paper extends Nakamaye's theorem to non-closed forms on complex manifolds.

Study compact Kähler manifolds with pseudo-effective tangent bundles.

We prove a $C^{1,1}$ estimate for solutions of complex Monge-Ampère equations on compact Kähler manifolds with possibly nonempty boundary, in a degenerate cohomology class. This strengthens previous estimates of Phong-Sturm. As applications we deduce the local $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesic rays in the space of Kähle…

Let X be a compact complex manifold equipped with a smooth (but not necessarily positive) closed form theta of one-one type. By a well-known envelope construction this data determines a canonical theta-psh function u which is not two times differentiable, in general. We introduce a family of regularizations of u, param…

The paper proves inequalities for orbifold second Chern classes in Fujiki's class.

New proof of $L^\infty$ estimates for Monge-Ampère and Hessian equations on nef classes.

Study on Kähler manifolds with non-positive mixed curvature and its implications.

Let $X$ be a smooth variety and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. If $π^{alg}_{1}(X)$ is large, we show that the Seshadri constant $ε(p^{*}L)$ can be made arbitrarily large by passing to a finite étale cover $p:X'\rightarrow X$. This result answers affirmatively a conjecture of J.-M. Hwang. Moreover, we prove an …

We show the optimal $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics in nef and big cohomology class on Kähler manifolds away from the non-Kähler locus, assuming sufficiently regular initial data. As a special case, we prove the $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics of Kähler metrics on compact Kähler varieties away from the singular loc…

We prove the existence of plurisubharmonic functions with prescribed logarithmic singularities on complex 3-folds equipped with a nef class of positive volume. We prove the same result for rational classes on Moishezon n-folds.

In this note we revisit and extend few classical and recent results on the definition and use of the Futaki invariant in connection with the existence problem for Kaehler constant scalar curvature metrics on polarized algebraic manifolds, especially in the case of resolution of singularities. The general inspiration be…

We prove that the non-Kahler locus of a nef and big class on a compact complex manifold bimeromorphic to a Kahler manifold equals its null locus. In particular this gives an analytic proof of a theorem of Nakamaye and Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustata-Nakamaye-Popa. As an application, we show that finite time non-collapsing singu…

The paper establishes inequalities for Chern classes and numbers on polarized manifolds and nef vector bundles.

Fix a K3 lattice $Λ$ of rank two and $L\inΛ$ a big and nef divisor that is positive enough. We prove that the generic $Λ$-polarised K3 surface has an integral nodal rational curve in the linear system $|L|$, in particular strengthening previous work of the first named author. The technique is by degeneration, and also …

The paper proves conditions for minimal compact Kähler manifolds with vanishing second Chern class.

Various Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities have appeared and played important roles in convex geometry, matrix theory and complex algebraic geometry. It has been noticed for some time that they share some striking analogies and have intimate relationships. The purpose of this article is to shed new light on this by c…

Study confirms conjecture on Hermitian manifolds with bounded mass.

The paper studies fundamental groups of compact Kahler varieties with nef anti-canonical bundles.

It is proved by Kawamata that the canonical bundle of a projective manifold is semi-ample if it is big and nef. We give an analytic proof using the Ricci flow, degeneration of Riemannian manifolds and $L^2$-theory. Combined with our earlier results, we construct unique singular Kahler-Einstein metrics with a global Rie…

Paper proves structure of compact Kähler 3-folds with specific bundles.

On a compact Kähler manifold, we introduce a notion of almost nonpositivity for the holomorphic sectional curvature, which by definition is weaker than the existence of a Kähler metric with semi-negative holomorphic sectional curvature. We prove that a compact Kähler manifold of almost nonpositive holomorphic sectional…

Taubes established fundamental properties of $J-$holomorphic subvarieties in dimension 4 in \cite{T1}. In this paper, we further investigate properties of reducible $J-$holomorphic subvarieties. We offer an upper bound of the total genus of a subvariety when the class of the subvariety is $J-$nef. For a spherical class…

Explains differences and similarities of strictly nef and ample vector bundles.

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…

Estimates Lelong numbers of Monge-Ampère products for Kähler manifolds.

In this paper, we show that if the tangent bundle of a smooth projective variety is strictly nef, then it is isomorphic to a projective space; if a projective variety $X^n$ $(n>4)$ has strictly nef $Λ^2 TX$, then it is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$ or quadric $\mathbb{Q}^n$. We also prove that on elliptic curves, strict…

Miyaoka-Yau inequality proven for smooth minimal models.

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…
