It is shown that the geodesic rays constructed as limits of Bergman geodesics from a test configuration are always of class $C^{1,\alpha}, 0<\alpha<1$. An essential step is to establish that the rays can be extended as solutions of a…

For smooth test configurations, there always exist C^{1,1} geodesic rays in Kahler metric space parallel to the algebraic ray. The $\yen$ invariant agrees with Futaki invariant, at least under nice assumptions. Explicit examples in Toric…

Starting with the data of a curve of singularity types, we use the Legendre transform to construct weak geodesic rays in the space of locally bounded metrics on an ample line bundle L over a compact manifold. Using this we associate weak…

This article contains a detailed study, in the toric case, of the test configuration geodesic rays defined by Phong-Sturm. We show that the `Bergman approximations' of Phong-Sturm converge in C^1 to the geodesic ray and that the geodesic…

From the work of Phong and Sturm in 2007, for a polarised projective manifold and an ample test configuration, one can associate the geodesic ray of plurisubharmonic metrics on the polarising line bundle using the solution of the…

We prove a $C^{1,1}$ estimate for solutions of complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on compact K\"ahler manifolds with possibly nonempty boundary, in a degenerate cohomology class. This strengthens previous estimates of Phong-Sturm. As…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold, $L\to X$ an ample line bundle over $X$, and ${\cal H}$ the space of all positively curved metrics on $L$. We show that a pair $(h_0,T)$ consisting of a point $h_0\in {\cal H}$ and a test configuration…

Let M be a smooth complex projective variety and let L be a line bundle on it. Rays-positive manifolds, namely pairs (M,L) such that L is numerically effective and L\cdotR > 0 for all extremal rays R on M, are studied. Several illustrative…

We show the optimal $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics in nef and big cohomology class on K\"ahler manifolds away from the non-K\"ahler locus, assuming sufficiently regular initial data. As a special case, we prove the $C^{1,1}$ regularity…

The Dirichlet problem for a Monge-Ampere equation corresponding to a nonnegative, possible degenerate cohomology class on a Kaehler manifold with boundary is studied. C^{1,\alpha} estimates away from a divisor are obtained, by combining…

Given a K\"ahler manifold $X$ with an ample line bundle $L$, we consider the metric space of $L^1$ geodesic rays associated to the first Chern class $c_1(L)$. We characterize rays that can be approximated by ample test configurations. At…

In this note we investigate the regularity of geodesics in the space of convex and plurisubharmonic functions. In the real setting we prove (optimal) local C^{1,1} regularity. We construct examples which prove that the global C^{1,1}…

In this paper we continue our earlier work about topological first passage percolation and answer certain questions asked in our previous paper. Notably, we prove that apart from trivialities, in the generic configuration there exists…

Illuminating the surface of a convex body with parallel beams of light in a given direction generates a shadow region. We prove sharp regularity results for the boundary of this shadow in every direction of illumination. Moreover,…

We establish an in-in formalism for geodesic deviation as an alternative to Synge calculus, based on a covariant calculus of differential forms in tangent bundle. This derives the exact Lagrangian and equations governing the finite geodesic…

We begin by characterizing metabelian distributions in terms of principal bundle structures. Then, we prove that in sub-Riemannian manifolds with metabelian distributions of rank $r$, the projection of strictly singular trajectories to some…

We prove that any finite energy geodesic ray with a finite Mabuchi slope is maximal in the sense of Berman-Boucksom-Jonsson, and reduce the proof of the uniform Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for constant scalar curvature K\"{a}hler metrics…

We prove that any two Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold can be connected by a geodesic segment of C^{1,1} regularity. This follows from an a priori interior real Hessian bound for solutions of the nondegenerate complex…

We prove the existence of C^{\infty} local solutions to a class of mixed type Monge-Ampere equations in the plane. More precisely, the equation changes type to finite order across two smooth curves intersecting transversely at a point.…
