Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Kähler manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below

We show that non-collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits of polarized Kahler manifolds, with Ricci curvature bounded below, are normal projective varieties, and the metric singularities of the limit space are precisely given by a countable union of analytic subvarieties. This extends a fundamental result of Donaldson-Sun, in which 2-sided Ricci curvature bounds were assumed. As a basic ingredient we show that, under lower Ricci curvature bounds, almost Euclidean balls in Kahler manifolds admit good holomorphic coordinates. Further applications are integral bounds for the scalar curvature on balls, and a rigidity theorem for Kahler manifolds with almost Euclidean volume growth.

Twisted Kähler-Einstein metrics

We prove an existence result for twisted Kähler-Einstein metrics, assuming an appropriate twisted K-stability condition. An improvement over earlier results is that certain non-negative twisting forms are allowed.

Uniqueness of some Calabi-Yau metrics on $\mathbf{C}^n$

We consider the Calabi-Yau metrics on $\mathbf{C}^n$ constructed recently by Yang Li, Conlon-Rochon, and the author, that have tangent cone $\mathbf{C}\times A_1$ at infinity for the $(n-1)$-dimensional Stenzel cone $A_1$. We show that up to scaling and isometry this Calabi-Yau metric on $\mathbf{C}^n$ is unique. We also discuss possible generalizations to other manifolds and tangent cones.

Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Kähler manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, II

We study non-collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Kähler manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. Our main result is that each tangent cone is homeomorphic to a normal affine variety. This extends a result of Donaldson-Sun, who considered non-collapsed limits of polarized Kähler manifolds with two-sided Ricci curvature bounds.

Degenerations of $\mathbf{C}^n$ and Calabi-Yau metrics

We construct infinitely many complete Calabi-Yau metrics on $\mathbf{C}^n$ for $n \geq 3$, with maximal volume growth, and singular tangent cones at infinity. In addition we construct Calabi-Yau metrics in neighborhoods of certain isolated singularities whose tangent cones have singular cross section, generalizing work of Hein-Naber.

The Kähler-Ricci flow and optimal degenerations

We prove that on Fano manifolds, the Kähler-Ricci flow produces a "most destabilising" degeneration, with respect to a new stability notion related to the H-functional. This answers questions of Chen-Sun-Wang and He. We give two applications of this result. Firstly, we give a purely algebro-geometric formula for the supremum of Perelman's μ-functional on Fano manifolds, resolving a conjecture of Tian-Zhang-Zhang-Zhu as a special case. Secondly, we use this to prove that if a Fano manifold admits a Kähler-Ricci soliton, then the Kähler-Ricci flow converges to it modulo the action of automorphisms, with any initial metric. This extends work of Tian-Zhu and Tian-Zhang-Zhang-Zhu, where either the manifold was assumed to admit a Kähler-Einstein metric, or the initial metric of the flow was assumed to be invariant under a maximal compact group of automorphism.

A Local Existence Result for Poincaré-Einstein metrics

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M, g_M)$ of dimension $n \geq 3$, we prove the existence of a conformally compact Einstein metric $g_{+}$ defined on a collar neighborhood $M \times (0,1]$ whose conformal infinity is $[g_M]$.

Gauduchon metrics with prescribed volume form

We prove that on any compact complex manifold one can find Gauduchon metrics with prescribed volume form. This is equivalent to prescribing the Chern-Ricci curvature of the metrics, and thus solves a conjecture of Gauduchon from 1984.

Sasaki-Einstein metrics and K-stability

We show that a polarized affine variety admits a Ricci flat Kähler cone metric, if and only if it is K-stable. This generalizes Chen-Donaldson-Sun's solution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture to Kähler cones, or equivalently, Sasakian manifolds. As an application we show that the five-sphere admits infinitely many families of Sasaki-Einstein metrics.

The partial $C^0$-estimate along the continuity method

We prove that the partial $C^0$-estimate holds for metrics along Aubin's continuity method for finding Kähler-Einstein metrics, confirming a special case of a conjecture due to Tian. We use the method developed in recent work of Chen-Donaldson-Sun on the analogous problem for conical Kähler-Einstein metrics.

Extremal metrics on blowups along submanifolds

We give conditions under which the blowup of an extremal Kähler manifold along a submanifold of codimension greater than two admits an extremal metric. This generalizes work of Arezzo-Pacard-Singer, who considered blowups in points.

On a constant rank theorem for nonlinear elliptic PDEs

We give a new proof of Bian-Guan's constant rank theorem for nonlinear elliptic equations. Our approach is to use a linear expression of the eigenvalues of the Hessian instead of quotients of elementary symmetric functions.

Kähler-Einstein metrics along the smooth continuity method

We show that if a Fano manifold $M$ is K-stable with respect to special degenerations equivariant under a compact group of automorphisms, then $M$ admits a Kähler-Einstein metric. This is a strengthening of the solution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for Fano manifolds by Chen-Donaldson-Sun, and can be used to obtain new examples of Kähler-Einstein manifolds. We also give analogous results for twisted Kähler-Einstein metrics and Kahler-Ricci solitons.

Fully non-linear elliptic equations on compact Hermitian manifolds

We derive a priori estimates for solutions of a general class of fully non-linear equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. Our method is based on ideas that have been used for different specific equations, such as the complex Monge-Ampère, Hessian and inverse Hessian equations. As an application we solve a class of Hessian quotient equations on Kähler manifolds assuming the existence of a suitable subsolution. The method also applies to analogous equations on compact Riemannian manifolds.

Convergence of the $J$-flow on toric manifolds

We show that on a Kahler manifold whether the J-flow converges or not is independent of the chosen background metric in its Kahler class. On toric manifolds we give a numerical characterization of when the J-flow converges, verifying a conjecture of Lejmi and the second author in this case. We also strengthen existing results on more general inverse $σ_{k}$ equations on Kahler manifolds.

Extremal Kähler metrics

This paper is a survey of some recent progress on the study of Calabi's extremal Kähler metrics. We first discuss the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture relating the existence of extremal metrics to an algebro-geometric stability notion and we give some example settings where this conjecture has been established. We then turn to the question of what one expects when no extremal metric exists.

The J-flow and stability

We study the J-flow from the point of view of an algebro-geometric stability condition. In terms of this we give a lower bound for the natural associated energy functional, and we show that the blowup behavior found by Fang-Lai is reflected by the optimal destabilizer. Finally we prove a general existence result on complex tori.
