On an affine flat manifold with coordinates x^j and convex local potential function f, we call the affine Kahler metric f_{ij} dx^i dx^j semi-flat Calabi-Yau if it satisfies det f_{ij} = 1. Recently Gross-Wilson have constructed many such…

This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…

We introduce the coupled Ricci-Calabi functional and the coupled H-functional which measure how far from a coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metric in the sense of Hultgren-Witt Nystr\"om. We first give corresponding moment weight type inequalities…

We discuss the extent to which numerical techniques for computing approximations to Ricci-flat metrics can be used to investigate hierarchies of curvature scales on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Control of such hierarchies is integral to the…

We consider the energy and bienergy functionals as variational problems on the set of Riemannian metrics and present a study of the biharmonic stress-energy tensor. This approach is then applied to characterise weak conformality of the…

In this paper, we consider the Donaldson gauge functional and the twisted Aubin functionals on almost K\"ahler manifolds. As in K\"ahler geometry, we generalize the inequality between Aubin functionals.

We give an explicit local classification of conformally equivalent but oppositely oriented Kaehler metrics on a 4-manifold which are toric with respect to a common 2-torus action. In the generic case, these structures have an intriguing…

This is an account of some aspects of the geometry of K\"ahler affine metrics based on considering them as smooth metric measure spaces and applying the comparison geometry of Bakry-Emery Ricci tensors. Such techniques yield a version for…

In this paper, we generalize Chen-Tian energy functionals to K\"ahler-Ricci solitons and prove that the properness of these functionals is equivalent to the existence of K\"ahler-Ricci solitons. We also discuss the equivalence of the lower…

Over the space of K\"ahler metrics associated to a fixed K\"ahler class, we first prove the lower bound of the energy functional $\tilde E^\beta$, then we provide the criterions of the geodesics rays to detect the lower bound of $\tilde…

The moduli spaces of Calabi--Yau (CY) manifolds are the special K\"ahler manifolds. The special K\"ahler geometry determines the low-energy effective theory which arises in Superstring theory after the compactification on a CY manifold. For…

This is a survey of our recent work on degenerations of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on compact Calabi-Yau manifolds with Kahler classes approaching the boundary of the Kahler cone.

Given a compact polarized K\"ahler manifold $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{CP}^N$, the space of Bergman metrics on $X$, parameterized by $\mathrm{SL}(N+1,\mathbb{C})$, corresponds to a dense set in the space of K\"ahler potentials in the K\"ahler…

Let P be an hyperplane in R^N, and denote by dH the Hausdorff distance. We show that for all positive radius r < 1 there is an epsilon > 0, such that if K is a Reifenberg-flat set in B(0; 1), a ball in R^N, that contains the origin, with…

Drawing on results of Derdzi\'nski's from the 80's, we classify conformally K\"ahler, $U(2)$-invariant, Einstein metrics on the total space of $\mathcal{O}(-m)$, for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$. This yields infinitely many $1$-parameter families…
