The paper proves rational connectedness for certain Kähler manifolds.

New characterizations of partial positivity using Hörmander's $L^2$-estimate.

The paper extends Schwarz's lemma to RC-positivity and complex manifolds.

In this paper, we prove that if a compact Kähler manifold $X$ has a smooth Hermitian metric $ω$ such that $(T_X,ω)$ is uniformly RC-positive, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. Conversely, we show that, if a projective manifold $X$ is rationally connected, then the tautological line bundle $\mathscr{O}_{T…

In this paper, we introduce a concept of RC-positivity for Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles and prove that, if $E$ is an RC-positive vector bundle over a compact complex manifold $X$, then for any vector bundle $A$, there exists a positive integer $c_A=c(A,E)$ such that $$H^0(X,\mathrm{Sym}^{\otimes \ell}E^*\otimes…

In this paper, we show that every harmonic map from a compact Kähler manifold with uniformly RC-positive curvature to a Riemannian manifold with non-positive complex sectional curvature is constant. In particular, there is no non-constant harmonic map from a compact Kähler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional c…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two compact complex manifolds. We show that if the tautological line bundle $\mathscr{O}_{T_M^*}(1)$ is not pseudo-effective and $\mathscr{O}_{T_N^*}(1)$ is nef, then there is no non-constant holomorphic map from $M$ to $N$. In particular, we prove that any holomorphic map from a compact complex mani…

Let $X$ be a ruled surface over a curve of genus $g$. We prove that $X$ has a scalar-flat Hermitian metric if and only if $g\geq 2$ and $m(X)>2-2g$ where $m(X)$ is an intrinsic number depends on the complex structure of $X$.

This paper refines homotopy theory for cubical sets and uniform spaces.

Uniformizes surfaces with boundaries, focusing on triple junctions.

New method detects communities in complex hypergraphs, matching theoretical limits.

The method to derive uniform bounds with Gaussian and Rademacher complexities is extended to the case where the sample average is replaced by a nonlinear statistic. Tight bounds are obtained for U-statistics, smoothened L-statistics and error functionals of l2-regularized algorithms.

We prove that Riemannian metrics with a uniform weak norm can be smoothed to having arbitrarily high regularity. This generalizes all previous smoothing results. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of Gromov's almost flat manifold theorem. A uniform Betti number estimate is also obtained.

Diffusion approximation provides weak approximation for stochastic gradient descent algorithms in a finite time horizon. In this paper, we introduce new tools motivated by the backward error analysis of numerical stochastic differential equations into the theoretical framework of diffusion approximation, extending the …

Spectral algorithm recovers community structure in sparse hypergraphs.

We show that any $d$-Ahlfors regular subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ supporting a weak $(1,d)$-Poincaré inequality with respect to surface measure is uniformly rectifiable.

Characterizes Anosov representations and strongly convex cocompact groups with eigenvalue gaps.

In this paper we study constant scalar curvature equation (CSCK), a nonlinear fourth order elliptic equation, and its weak solutions on Kähler manifolds. We first define a notion of weak solution of CSCK for an $L^\infty$ Kähler metric. The main result is to show that such a weak solution (with uniform $L^\infty$ bound…

Tight geodesics were introduced by Masur-Minsky in [17]. They and their hierarchies have been a powerful tool in the study of the curve complex, mapping class groups, Teichmüller spaces, and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In the same paper, they showed that there are at least one and at most finitely many tight geodesics betw…

In this paper, we pose several conjectures on structures and images of maximal rationally connected fibrations of smooth projective varieties admitting semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Toward these conjectures, we prove that the canonical bundle of images of such fibrations is not big. Our proof gives a g…

Uniform bounds for neural network convergence without strong convexity assumptions.

Study sets limits for detecting a subhypergraph in uniform hypergraphs.

We generalize Roe's index theorem for graded generalized Dirac operators on amenable manifolds to multigraded elliptic uniform pseudodifferential operators. This generalization will follow as a corollary from a local index theorem that is valid on any manifold of bounded geometry. This local formula incorporates the un…

Suppose a sequence $M_j$ of Alexandrov spaces collapses to a space $X$ with only weak singularities. Yamaguchi constructed a map $f_j:M_j\to X$ called an almost Lipschitz submersion for large $j$. We prove that if $M_j$ has a uniform positive lower bound for the volumes of spaces of directions, which is sufficiently la…

In this paper, we introduce a new energy density function $\mathscr Y$ on the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}(T_M)\>M$ for a smooth map $f:(M,h)\>(N,g)$ between Riemannian manifolds $\mathscr Y=g_{ij}f^i_αf^j_β\frac{W^αW^β}{\sum h_{γδ} W^γW^δ}.$ We get new Hessian estimates to this energy density and obtain various new…

The existence of \emph{weak conical Kähler-Einstein} metrics along smooth hypersurfaces with angle between $0$ and $2π$ is obtained by studying a smooth continuity method and a \emph{local Moser's iteration} technique. In the case of negative and zero Ricci curvature, the $C^0$ estimate is unobstructed; while in the ca…

The curve graphs are not locally finite. In this paper, we show that the curve graphs satisfy a property which is equivalent to graphs being uniformly locally finite via Masur--Minsky's subsurface projections. As a direct application of this study, we show that there exist computable bounds for Bowditch's slices on tig…

Method approximates Lipschitz domains with smoother shapes.

We consider Blackwell approachability, a very powerful and geometric tool in game theory, used for example to design strategies of the uninformed player in repeated games with incomplete information. We extend this theory to "generalized quitting games" , a class of repeated stochastic games in which each player may ha…

Let $X$ be an infinite Riemann surface equipped with its conformal hyperbolic metric such that the action of the covering group $π_1(X)$ on $\tilde{X}$ is of the first kind-i.e., the surface $X$ is equal to its convex core. We first prove that any geodesic lamination on $X$ is nowhere dense. Given a fixed geodesic pant…

We establish the weak continuity of the Gauss-Coddazi-Ricci system for isometric embedding with respect to the uniform $L^p$-bounded solution sequence for $p>2$, which implies that the weak limit of the isometric embeddings of the manifold is still an isometric embedding. More generally, we establish a compensated comp…

Uniform deviation bounds limit the difference between a model's expected loss and its loss on an empirical sample uniformly for all models in a learning problem. As such, they are a critical component to empirical risk minimization. In this paper, we provide a novel framework to obtain uniform deviation bounds for loss…

Develops weak formulation for spacelike flows in pseudo-Euclidean space.

An approximation theorem for minimal surfaces by complete minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is obtained. This Mergelyan type result can be extended to the family of complete minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature, that is to say, having finite total curvature on proper regions of fin…

Random sampling has become a critical tool in solving massive matrix problems. For linear regression, a small, manageable set of data rows can be randomly selected to approximate a tall, skinny data matrix, improving processing time significantly. For theoretical performance guarantees, each row must be sampled with pr…

Uniform convergence of metrics on surfaces with bounded curvature measures proved.

Fix a translation surface $X$, and consider the measures on $X$ coming from averaging the uniform measures on all the saddle connections of length at most $R$. Then as $R\to\infty$, the weak limit of these measures exists and is equal to the Lebesgue measure on $X$. We also show that any weak limit of a subsequence of …

Paper proposes a weak approximation of reflection coupling for non-convex optimization.

The small-ball method was introduced as a way of obtaining a high probability, isomorphic lower bound on the quadratic empirical process, under weak assumptions on the indexing class. The key assumption was that class members satisfy a uniform small-ball estimate: that $Pr(|f| \geq κ\|f\|_{L_2}) \geq δ$ for given const…

We show uniqueness of classical solutions of the normalised two-dimensional Hamilton-Ricci flow on closed, smooth manifolds for smooth data among solutions satisfying (essentially) only a uniform bound for the Liouville energy and a natural space-time $L^2$-bound for the time derivative of the solution. The result is s…

Paper shows no finite time singularities for smooth conformal heat flow of harmonic maps.

Understanding statistical inference under possibly non-sparse high-dimensional models has gained much interest recently. For a given component of the regression coefficient, we show that the difficulty of the problem depends on the sparsity of the corresponding row of the precision matrix of the covariates, not the spa…

The problem of learning from label proportions (LLP) involves training classifiers with weak labels on bags of instances, rather than strong labels on individual instances. The weak labels only contain the label proportion of each bag. The LLP problem is important for many practical applications that only allow label p…
