In this paper, we show that the \alpha_{m,2}-invariant of a smooth cubic surface with Eckardt points is strictly bigger than 2/3. This can be used to simplify Tian's original proof of the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on such…

Motivated by the torus stability problem, in this work we study K\"ahler metrics with almost non-negative scalar curvature on complex torus. We prove that after passing to a subsequence, non-collapsing sequence of K\"ahler metrics with…

We prove that the quasi-Einstein metrics found by L\"u, Page and Pope on $\mathbb{C}P^{1}$-bundles over Fano K\"ahler-Einstein bases are conformally K\"ahler and that the K\"ahler class of the conformal metric is a multiple of the first…

We point out how some recent developments in the theory of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics can be used to clarify the existence issue for such metrics in the special case of geometrically ruled complex surfaces.

We study the existence of conformal metrics on non-compact Riemannian manifolds with non-compact boundary, which are complete as metric spaces and have negative constant scalar curvature in the interior and negative constant mean curvature…

For projective varieties with definite first Chern class we have one type of canonical metric which is called K\"ahler-Einstein metric. But for varieties with an intermidiate Kodaira dimension we can have several different types of…

Let $M$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $N$ be a subvariety with codimension greater than or equal to 2. We show that there are no complete K\"ahler--Einstein metrics on $M-N$. As an application, let $E$ be an exceptional divisor of $M$.…

We consider complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. The main results are: 1. When the manifold has nonnegative bisectional curvature, we show that $\lim\limits_{r\to\infty}\frac{r^{2}}{vol(B(p, r))}\int_{B(p, r)}S$…

We consider conformal metrics of constant curvature 1 on a Riemann surface, with finitely many prescribed conic singularities and prescribed angles at these singularities. Especially interesting case which was studied by C. L. Chai, C. S…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…

In these notes we give an exposition of a result of G. Tian, which says that a Fano surfaces admits a Kahler-Einstein metric precisely when the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields is reductive.

This paper considers the existence of conformally compact Einstein metrics on 4-manifolds. A reasonably complete understanding is obtained for the existence of such metrics with prescribed conformal infinity, when the conformal infinity is…

In 1987, the $\alpha$-invariant theorem gave a fundamental criterion for existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on smooth Fano manifolds. In 2012, Odaka-Sano extended the framework to $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties in terms of K-stability, and…

Well-known conjectures of Tian predict that existence of canonical Kahler metrics should be equivalent to various notions of properness of Mabuchi's K-energy functional. In some instances this has been verified, especially under restrictive…

Let $(\mathscr{C}, \omega_{\mathscr{C}})$ be a Ricci-flat, simply connected, conical K\"ahler manifold. We establish a Liouville theorem for constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metrics on $\mathscr{C}$. The theorem asserts that any…

We develop a variational calculus for a certain free energy functional on the space of all probability measures on a Kahler manifold X. This functional can be seen as a generalization of Mabuchi's K-energy functional and its twisted…

This paper is the first step in a systematic project to study examples of K\"ahler manifolds with positive holomorphic sectional curvature ($H > 0$). Previously Hitchin proved that any compact K\"ahler surface with $H>0$ must be rational…
