Spectrum of SYK model III: Large deviations and concentration of measures

In \cite{FTD1}, we proved the almost sure convergence of eigenvalues of the SYK model, which can be viewed as a type of \emph{law of large numbers} in probability theory; in \cite{FTD2}, we proved that the linear statistic of eigenvalues satisfies the \emph{central limit theorem}. In this article, we continue to study another important theorem in probability theory\,-- the \emph{concentration of measure theorem}, especially for the Gaussian SYK model. We will prove a \emph{large deviation principle} (LDP) for the normalized empirical measure of eigenvalues when $q_n=2$, in which case the eigenvalues can be expressed in term of these of Gaussian random antisymmetric matrices. Such LDP result has its own independent interest in random matrix theory. For general $q_n\geq 3$, we can not prove the LDP, we will prove a concentration of measure theorem by estimating the Lipschitz norm of the Gaussian SYK model.

Spectrum of SYK model II: Central limit theorem

In our previous paper \cite{FTD1}, we derived the almost sure convergence of the global density of eigenvalues of random matrices of the SYK model. In this paper, we will prove the central limit theorem for the linear statistic of eigenvalues and compute its variance.

Relative volume comparison of Ricci Flow and its applications

In this paper, we derive a relative volume comparison estimate along Ricci flow and apply it to studying the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of Kähler-Ricci flow on a minimal manifold. This new estimate generalizes Perelman's no local collapsing estimate and can be regarded as an analogue of the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison for Ricci flow.

Uniqueness of the Mean Field Equation and Rigidity of Hawking Mass

In this paper, we prove that the even solution of the mean field equation $Δu=λ(1-e^u) $ on $S^2$ must be axially symmetric when $4<λ\leq 8$. In particular, zero is the only even solution for $λ=6$. This implies the rigidity of Hawking mass for stable constant mean curvature(CMC) sphere with even symmetry.

The symplectic approach of gauged linear $σ$-model

Witten's Gauged Linear $σ$-Model (GLSM) unifies the Gromov-Witten theory and the Landau-Ginzburg theory, and provides a global perspective on mirror symmetry. In this article, we summarize a mathematically rigorous construction of the GLSM in the geometric phase using methods from symplectic geometry.

Correction to Section 19.2 of Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture

This note corrects a mistake in the original book in the evolution equations of total curvature for the curve-shrinking flow in an ambient Ricci Flow. The resulting upper bound for the evolution of total curvature is an exponential bound in time. The change involves the multiplicative constant. Here we show that it depends on the initial total curvature and the initial length, rather than just on the initial total curvature as was asserted before. This change does not affect the application of these results to prove finite-time extinction when the third homotopy group of the manifold is non-trivial.

Compactness results for triholomorphic maps

We consider triholomorphic maps from an almost hyper-Hermitian manifold $\mathcal{M}^{4m}$ into a hyperKähler manifold $\mathcal{N}^{4n}$. This means that $u \in W^{1,2}$ satisfies a quaternionic del-bar equation. We work under the assumption that $u$ is locally strongly approximable in $W^{1,2}$ by smooth maps: then such maps are almost stationary harmonic (when $\mathcal{M}$ is hyperKähler as well, then stationary harmonic). We show that in this more general situation the classical $ε$-regularity result still holds. We then address compactness issues for a weakly converging sequence $u_\ell \rightharpoonup u_\infty$ of strongly approximable triholomorphic maps $u_\ell:\mathcal{M} \to \mathcal{N}$ with uniformly bounded Dirichlet energies. The blow up analysis leads, as in the usual stationary setting, to the existence of a rectifiable blow-up set $Σ$ of codimension $2$, away from which the sequence converges strongly. The defect measure $Θ(x) {\mathcal{H}}^{4m-2} \llcorner Σ$ encodes the loss of energy in the limit; we prove that for a.e. point on $Σ$ the value of $Θ$ is given by the sum of energies of a (finite) number of smooth non-constant holomorphic bubbles (here the holomorphicity is understood w.r.t. a complex structure on $\mathcal{N}$ that depends on the chosen point on $Σ$). In the case that $\mathcal{M}$ is hyperKähler this result was established by C. Y. Wang (2003) with a different proof; we rely on Lorentz space estimates. By means of a calibration and a homological argument we further prove that for each portion of $Σ\setminus \text{Sing}_{u_\infty}$ contained in a Lipschitz graph we find a unique alm. compl. st. on $\mathcal{M}$ that makes the portion pseudoholomorphic and smooth, with $Θ$ constant; moreover the bubbles originating at points of such a smooth piece are holomorphic for a common complex structure.

Convergence of Kähler-Ricci flow on lower dimensional algebraic manifolds of general type

In this paper, we prove that the $L^4$-norm of Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded along a Kähler-Ricci flow on any minimal algebraic manifold. As an application, we show that on any minimal algebraic manifold $M$ of general type and with dimension $n\le 3$, any solution of the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow converges to the unique singular Kähler-Einstein metric on the canonical model of $M$ in the Cheeger-Gromov topology.

Properness of log $F$-functionals

In this paper, we apply the method developed in [Ti97] and [TZ00] to proving the properness of log $F$-functional on any conic Kähler-Einstein manifolds. As an application, we give an alternative proof for the openness of the continuity method through conic Kähler-Einstein metrics.

Analysis of gauged Witten equation

The gauged Witten equation was essentially introduced by Witten in his formulation of gauged linear $σ$-model (GLSM). GLSM is a physics theory which explains the so-called Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence. This is the first paper in a series towards a mathematical construction of GLSM. In this paper we study some analytical properties of the gauged Witten equation for a Lagrange multiplier type superpotential. It contains the asymptotic property of finite energy solutions, the linear Fredholm property, the uniform $C^0$-bound, and the compactness of the moduli space of solutions over a fixed smooth $r$-spin curve with uniform energy bound.

A continuity method to construct canonical metrics

We introduce a new continuity method which provides an alternative way of carrying out the Analytic Minimal Model Program introduced by G. Tian and J. Song and G. Tian. This equation -- unlike the Ricci flow -- has the advantage of having Ricci curvature bounded from below along the deformation, so that the compactness theory of Cheeger-Colding-Tian for Kaehler manifolds and the partial $C^0$-estimate, can be applied.

Correlation functions of gauged linear $σ$-model

This is the second paper in a series following arXiv:1405.6352, on the construction of a mathematical theory of the gauged linear $σ$-model (GLSM). In this paper, assuming the existence of virtual moduli cycles and their certain properties, we define the correlation function of GLSM for a fixed smooth rigidified $r$-spin curve.

A compactness result for Fano manifolds and Kähler Ricci flows

We obtain a compactness result for Fano manifolds and Kähler Ricci flows. Comparing to the more general Riemannian versions by Anderson and Hamilton, in this Fano case, the curvature assumption is much weaker and is preserved by the Kähler Ricci flows. One assumption is the boundedness of the Ricci potential and the other is the smallness of Perelman's entropy. As one application, we obtain a new local regularity criteria and structure result for Kähler Ricci flows. The proof is based on a Hölder estimate for the gradient of harmonic functions, which may be of independent interest.
