We study surfaces of constant positive Gauss curvature in Euclidean 3-space via the harmonicity of the Gauss map. Using the loop group representation, we solve the regular and the singular geometric Cauchy problems for these surfaces, and…

We prove the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for parabolic bundles over compact nonK\"{a}hler surfaces with simple normal crossing divisor or compact nonK\"{a}hler manifolds of any dimension with smooth divisor.

We discuss the bi-Lipschitz geometry of an isolated singular point of a complex surface which particular emphasis on when it is metrically conical.

We show that the singularities of spacelike maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space generically consist of cuspidal edges, swallowtails and cuspidal cross caps. The same result holds for spacelike mean curvature one surfaces in de…

We use the recently established existence and regularity of area and energy minimizing discs in metric spaces to obtain canonical parametrizations of metric surfaces. Our approach yields a new and conceptually simple proof of a well-known…

We construct a surface with log terminal singularities and ample canonical class that has $K_X^2=1/48 983$ and a log canonical pair $(X,B)$ with a nonempty reduced divisor $B$ and ample $K_X+B$ that has $(K_X+B)^2 = 1/462$. Both examples…

In joint work with Chen and Weber, the author has elsewhere shown that CP2#2(-CP2) admits an Einstein metric. The present paper gives a new and rather different proof of this fact. Our results include new existence theorems for extremal…

In this short note, we prove that on a compact K\"ahler variety $X$ with log terminal singularities and $c_1(X)=0$, any singular Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric has orbifold singularities in restriction to the orbifold locus of $X$.

We explore the connection between the rank of a polynomial and the singularities of its vanishing locus. We first describe the singularity of generic polynomials of fixed rank. We then focus on cubic surfaces. Cubic surfaces with isolated…

In this paper we study the problem, posed by Troyanov, of prescribing the Gaussian curvature under a conformal change of the metric on surfaces with conical singularities. Such geometrical problem can be reduced to the solvability of a…

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…

We proved the convergence of a sequence of 2 dimensional comapct Kahler-Einstein orbifolds with rational quotient singularities and with some uniform bounds on the volumes and on the Euler characteristics of our orbifods to a…

In this paper, we establish a geometric correspondence between constant curvature one metrics with two conical singularities on $S^{2}$ and isometric immersions into Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. Specifically, we explicitly construct…

We apply Nadel's method of multiplier ideal sheaves to show that every complex del Pezzo surface of degree at most six whose automorphism group acts without fixed points has a K\"ahler-Einstein metric. In particular, all del Pezzo surfaces…

It is well known that the Grauert-Riemenschneider canonical sheaf $\mathcal{K}_X$ of holomorphic square-integrable $n$-forms is a central tool in $L^2$-theory for the $\overline\partial$-operator on a singular complex space $X$ of pure…

We show that any toric K\"ahler cone with smooth compact cross-section admits a family of Calabi-Yau cone metrics with conical singularities along its toric divisors. The family is parametrized by the Reeb cone and the angles are given…

Robert Bryant (Theorie des varietes minimales et applications, 1988, 154: 321-347) proved that an isolated singularity of a conformal metric of positive constant curvature on a Riemann surface is a conical one. Using Complex Analysis, we…

We show that there are high-dimensional smooth compact manifolds which admit pairs of Einstein metrics for which the scalar curvatures have opposite signs. These are counter-examples to a conjecture considered by Besse. The proof hinges on…

The problem of prescribing Gaussian curvature on Riemann surface with conical singularity is considered. Let $(\Sigma,\beta)$ be a closed Riemann surface with a divisor $\beta$, and $K_\lambda=K+\lambda$, where…

We consider log del Pezzo surfaces coming with a non-trivial torus action. Such a surface is 1/k-log canonical if it allows a resolution of singularities with discrepanies all greater or equal to 1/k-1. We provide a concrete classification…
