These notes contain a survey of some aspects of the theory of graded differential algebras and of noncommutative differential calculi as well as of some applications connected with physics. They also give a description of several new…
We study the behavior of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact manifolds developing finite-time singularities, in particular, when the flow contracts exceptional divisors or collapses the Fano fibers of a holomorphic fiber bundle. We present a…
We establish geometric regularity for Type I blow-up limits of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow based at any sequence of Ricci vertices. As a consequence, the limiting flow is continuous in time in both Gromov-Hausdorff and Gromov-$W_1$ distance. In…
These lecture notes are an expanded write-up of my short lecture series "Noncommutative Resolutions" given to the MSRI Graduate Student Workshop "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" during June 2012. The notes include five chapters, an…
These notes are a record of lectures given in the Workshop on Connections Between Algebra and Geometry at the University of Regina, May 29--June 1, 2012. The lectures were meant as an introduction to current research problems related to fat…
In this paper, we prove that on a Fano manifold $M$ which admits a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton $(\om,X)$, if the initial K\"ahler metric $\om_{\vphi_0}$ is close to $\om$ in some weak sense, then the weak K\"ahler-Ricci flow exists globally and…
We develop a framework inspired by Lauret's "bracket flow" to study the generalized Ricci flow, as introduced by Streets, on discrete quotients of Lie groups. As a first application, we establish global existence on solvmanifolds in…
In this paper, we derive a relative volume comparison estimate along Ricci flow and apply it to studying the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a minimal manifold. This new estimate generalizes Perelman's no local…
In this work, we study the K\"{a}hler-Ricci flow on rational homogeneous varieties exploring the interplay between projective algebraic geometry and representation theory which underlies the classical Borel-Weil theorem. By using elements…

If a normalized K\"{a}hler-Ricci flow $g(t),t\in[0,\infty),$ on a compact K\"{a}hler $n$-manifold, $n\geq 3$, of positive first Chern class satisfies $g(t)\in 2\pi c_{1}(M)$ and has $L^{n}$ curvature operator uniformly bounded, then the…
We present 18 Introductory Lectures on K-Theory covering its basic three branches, namely topological, analytic (K-Homology) and Higher Algebraic K-Theory, 6 lectures on each branch. The skeleton of these notes was provided by the author's…
We study the long-time behavior of the Kahler-Ricci flow on compact Kahler manifolds. We give an almost complete classification of the singularity type of the flow at infinity, depending only on the underlying complex structure. If the…
These are notes for a course on contact manifolds and torus actions delivered at the summer school on Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamiltonian Systems at Centre de Recerca Matem\`atica in Barcelona in July 2001. To be published by…
It is observed that for complex surfaces, the positivity of the Ricci curvature is preserved by the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, under the additional assumption that the sum of the two lowest eigenvalues of the traceless curvature operator is…
Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ and a closed, positive $(1,1)$-current $T$ on $X$, we find sufficient conditions for $T$ to induce a metric structure $(X,d_T)$ which is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of compact K\"ahler manifolds either…
We compute first variation formulas for the complex components of the Bakry-Emery-Ricci endomorphism along K\"ahler structures. Our formulas show that the principal parts of the variations are quite standard complex differential operators…

We study the Kahler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds. We show that if the curvature is bounded along the flow and if the manifold is K-polystable and asymptotically Chow semistable, then the flow converges exponentially fast to a…
We use the momentum construction of Calabi to study the conical K\"ahler-Ricci flow on Hirzebruch surfaces with cone angle along the exceptional curve, and show that either the flow Gromov-Hausdorff converges to the Riemann sphere or a…
