In this article we have studied some properties of subharmonic functions in a strongly symmetric Riemannian manifold with a pole.

By a theorem of Greene and Wu, a noncompact connected Riemannian manifold admits a smooth strictly subharmonic exhaustion function. Demailly provided an elementary proof of this fact. A further simplification of Demailly's proof and some (mostly known) applications are described. Applications include the fact that the …

Harmonic maps pull convex functions on metric spaces to subharmonic ones.

This paper is a sequel to \cite{Choi} in Math. Ann. In that paper we studied the subharmonicity of Kähler-Einstein metrics on strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension greater than or equal to $3$. In this paper, we study the variations Kähler-Einstein metrics on bounded strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension $2$.…

We derive a local Gaussian upper bound for the $f$-heat kernel on complete smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature, which generalizes the classic Li-Yau estimate. As applications, we obtain a sharp $L_f^1$-Liouville theorem for $f$-subharmonic functions and an $L_f^1$-u…

We establish dimension-independent estimates related to heat operators e^{tL} on manifolds. We first develop a very general contractivity result for Markov kernels which can be applied to diffusion semigroups. Second, we develop estimates on the norm behavior of harmonic and non-negative subharmonic functions. We apply…

We are analysing the convexity and continuity properties of the Mabuchi functional along weak geodesics. The key technical point in our paper is the global approximation of weak geodesics obtained via a well-chosen family of Monge-Ampère equations.

Study on existence and properties of continuous solutions to complex Hessian equations.

We study the problem of removable singularities for degenerate elliptic equations. Let F be a fully nonlinear second-order partial differential subequation of degenerate elliptic type on a manifold X. We study the question: Which closed subsets E in X have the property that every F-subharmonic function (subsolution) on…

Pseudo-holomorphic curves on almost complex manifolds have been much more intensely studied than their "dual" objects, the plurisubharmonic functions. These functions are defined classically by requiring that the restriction to each pseudo-holomorphic curve is subharmonic. In this paper subharmonic functions are define…

We consider a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space $(M^n,g,e^{-f} dv)$ and the associated drifting Laplacian. We find sufficient conditions on the geometry of the space so that every nonnegative $f$-subharmonic function with bounded weighted $L^1$ norm is constant.

In this paper, we prove a mean value formula for bounded subharmonic Hermitian matrix valued function on a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. As its application, we obtain a Liouville type theorem for the complex Monge-Ampère equation on product manifolds.

We shall define the relative $\dbar$-complex and study the curvature properties of the associated vector bundles. As an application, we shall prove that Yamaguchi's theory on subharmonicity of the Green operator can be seen as a curvature property of the quotient bundle. A short survey of other recent applications will…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the convexity of Mabuchi's functional to the conic setting. We first established a frame to study conic cscK metrics, and then the conic Mabuchi functional was introduced in such a way that conic cscK metrics are its critical points. Finally we proved the convexity of the coni…

Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Kähler manifold of dimension $n$ and fix $1\leq m\leq n$. We prove that the total mass of the complex Hessian measure of $ω$-$m$-subharmonic functions is non-decreasing with respect to the singularity type. We then solve complex Hessian equations with prescribed singularity, and prove a Hodge i…

We prove that, in general, given a $p$-harmonic map $F:M\to N$ and a convex function $H:N\to\mathbb{R}$, the composition $H\circ F$ is not $p$-subharmonic. By assuming some rotational symmetry on manifolds and functions, we reduce the problem to an ordinary differential inequality. The key of the proof is an asymptotic…

The main point of this paper is to prove the following useful result: If the almost everywhere 2-jet of a locally quasi-convex function u satisfies a degenerate elliptic constraint F, then u is F-subharmonic, i.e., u is a viscosity F-subsolution. This AE Theorem makes otherwise difficult results transparent. Some insta…

Extremal length is an important conformal invariant on Riemann surface. It is closely related to the geometry of Teichmuller metric on Teichmuller space. By identifying extremal length functions with energy of harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces to $\mathbb{R}$-trees, we study the second variation of extremal length fu…

In this paper, we study the singular sets of $F$-subharmonic functions $u: B_{2}(0^{n})\rightarrow\mathbf{R}$, where $F$ is a subequation. The singular set $\mathcal{S}(u)\subset B_{2}(0^{n})$ has a stratification $\mathcal{S}^{0}(u)\subset\mathcal{S}^{1}(u)\subset\cdots\subset\mathcal{S}^{k}(u)\subset\cdots\subset\mat…
