We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow $(X, \omega(t))_{t \in [0,T)}$ on a compact manifold where the time of singularity, $T$, is finite. We assume the existence of a holomorphic map from the K\"ahler manifold $X$ to some analytic variety $Y$…

We obtain connectivity of annuli for a volume doubling metric measure Dirichlet space which satisfies a Poincar\'e inequality, a capacity estimate and a fast volume growth condition. This type of connectivity was introduced by Grigor'yan…

We prove a local index formula in conformal geometry by computing the Connes-Chern character for the conformal Dirac (twisted) spectral triple recently constructed by Connes-Moscovici. Following an observation of Moscovici, the computation…

We study the Dirichlet problem for a class of curvature equations arising from conformal geometry on Riemannian manifolds $(M^n, g)$ with boundary where $n \geq 3$. We prove there exists a unique solution using the continuity method which…

Let $B_2(p)$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth geodesic ball with Ricci curvature $\geq-(n-1)\kappa^2$ for some $\kappa\geq0$. We establish the Sobolev inequality and the uniform Neumann-Poincar\'e inequality on each minimal graph over $B_1(p)$…

In this paper, we systematically study the heat kernel of the Ricci flows induced by Ricci shrinkers. We develop several estimates which are much sharper than their counterparts in general closed Ricci flows. Many classical results,…

We construct geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measure along which all the measures have an upper bound on their density that is determined by the densities of the endpoints of the geodesic. Using these geodesics we show…

The aim of this paper is two-fold: First, we obtain a better understanding of the intrinsic distance of diffusion processes. Precisely, (i) for all $n\ge1$, the diffusion matrix $A$ is weak upper semicontinuous on $\Omega$ if and only if…

In this article we study stability and compactness w.r.t. measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of smooth metric measure spaces with integral Ricci curvature bounds. More precisely, we prove that a sequence of $n$-dimensional Riemannian…

We develop the theory of tamed spaces which are Dirichlet spaces with distribution-valued lower bounds on the Ricci curvature and investigate these from an Eulerian point of view. To this end we analyze in detail singular perturbations of…

Based on the framework of Koch-Lamm and tensor heat kernel estimates, we obtain a uniform proof of the short-time existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence for Ricci flows starting from a complete Riemannian metric with bounded…

We consider laminar, fully-developed, Poiseuille flows of liquid in the Cassie state through diabatic, parallel-plate microchannels symmetrically textured with isoflux ridges. Through the use of matched asymptotic expansions we analytically…

We contribute to an original problem studied by Hamilton and others, in order to understand the behaviour of maximal solutions of the Ricci flow both in compact and non-compact complete orientable Riemannian manifolds of finite volume. The…

We study the gradient-flow structure of a non-Newtonian thin film equation with power-law rheology. The equation is quasilinear, of fourth order and doubly-degenerate parabolic. By adding a singular potential to the natural Dirichlet…

In this paper, we obtain several new intrinsic and extrinsic differential sphere theorems via Ricci flow. For intrinsic case, we show that a closed simply connected $n(\ge 4)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ is diffeomorphic to $S^n$ if…

In this paper, we prove a general maximum principle for the time dependent Lichnerowicz heat equation on symmetric tensors coupled with the Ricci flow on complete Riemannian manifolds. As an application we construct complete manifolds with…

In this paper, we prove a rigidity theorem for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds whose conformal infinity is a flat Euclidean space. The proof relies on analyzing the propagation of curvature tensors over the level sets of an adapted boundary…

We find a volume form on moduli space of double punctured Riemann surfaces whose integral satisfies the Painlev\'e I recursion relations of the genus expansion of the specific heat of 2D gravity. This allows us to express the asymptotic…

In this note, we prove a uniform distance distortion estimate for Ricci flows with uniformly bounded scalar curvature, independent of the lower bound of the initial $\mu$-entropy. Our basic principle tells that once correctly renormalized,…

We construct a strongly local symmetric Dirichlet form on the configuration space $\Upsilon$ whose symmetrising (thus also invariant) measure is $\mathsf{sine}_\beta$, which is the law of the sine $\beta$ ensemble for every $\beta>0$. For…
