We study blow-up sequences of Ricci shrinkers without global curvature assumptions based at points $q$ at which the scalar curvature satisfies a Type I bound, proving that their $\mathbb{F}$-limits split a line. In the four-dimensional case…

We prove a warped product splitting theorem for manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below in the spirit of [Croke-Kleiner, \emph{Duke Math.\;J}.\;(1992)], but instead of asking that one boundary component is compact and mean-convex,…

We consider the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{CP}^n$ blown-up at one point starting with any $U(n)$-invariant K\"ahler metric. It is known that the K\"ahler-Ricci flow must develop Type I singularities. We show that if the total volume does not go…

In this short note, we show that given a special K\"ahler-Einstein degeneration with bounded geometry, for any noncentral fiber, there exists a K\"ahler-Ricci flow which converges to the K\"ahler-Einstein metric of the central fiber. As an…

We study the formation of finite time singularities of the Kahler-Ricci flow in relation to high codimensional birational surgery in algebraic geometry. We show that the Kahler-Ricci flow on an n-dimensionl Kahler manifold contracts a…

We prove that on Fano manifolds, the K\"ahler-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…

For each partition of the positive integer $n= \ell +\sum_{j=1}^\ell d_j$, where $\ell\ge 1$ and $d_j \ge 0$ are integers, we construct a continuous $(\ell-1)$-parameter family of explicit complete gradient steady K\"ahler--Ricci solitons…

We prove the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow with some small initial curvature conditions. As applications, we discuss the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow when the complex structure varies on a K\"ahler-Einstein manifold.

In this paper we study $n$-dimensional Ricci flows $(M^n,g(t))_{t\in [0,T)},$ where $T< \infty$ is a potentially singular time, and for which the spatial $L^p$ norm, $p>\frac n 2$, of the scalar curvature is uniformly bounded on $[0,T).$ In…

We present a version of the Lorentzian splitting theorem under a weakened Ricci curvature condition. The proof makes use of basic properties of achronal limits [19], [20], together with the geometric maximum principle for $C^0$ spacelike…

This is a survey of some of the recent developments on the geometric and analytic aspects of the Anomaly flow. It is a flow of $(2,2)$-forms on a $3$-fold which was originally motivated by string theory and the need to preserve the…

The existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a compact K\"ahler manifold has been the subject of intensive study over the last few decades, following Yau's solution to Calabi's conjecture. The Ricci flow, introduced by Richard Hamilton has…
