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…

For sub-Riemannian manifolds with a chosen complement, we first establish the derivative formula and integration by parts formula on path space with respect to a natural gradient operator. By using these formulae, we then show that upper…

In this paper, we study harmonic and caloric functions of polynomial growth on a complete non-compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. On one hand, when the scalar curvature satisfies at least quadratic decay, we prove that the space of…

In this note, we prove Cheng-Yau type local gradient estimate for harmonic functions on Alexandrov spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below. We adopt a refined version of Moser's iteration which is based on Zhang-Zhu's Bochner type…

We describe the local structure of Riemannian manifolds with harmonic curvature which admit a maximum number, in a well-defined sense, of local warped-product decompositions, and at the same time their Ricci tensor has, at some point, only…

Let $(M^n, g, e^{-f}dv)$ be a smooth metric measure space of dimensional $n$. Suppose that $v$ is a positive weighted $p$-eigenfunctions associated to the eigenvalues $\lambda_{1,p}$ on $M$, namely $$ e^{f}div(e^{-f}|\nabla v|^{p-2}\nabla…

We give a definition of convergence of differential of Lipschitz functions with respect to measured Gromov-Hausdorff topology. As their applications, we give a characterization of harmonic functions with polynomial growth on asymptotic…

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 prove a Liouville property for any $f$-harmonic function with polynomial growth on a complete noncompact smooth metric measure space $(M,g,e^{-f}dv)$ when the Bakry-\'Emery Ricci curvature is nonnegative and its diameter of geodesic…

By seeing whether a Liouville type theorem holds for positive, bounded, and/or finite energy $p$-harmonic and $p$-quasiharmonic functions, we classify proper metric spaces equipped with a locally doubling measure supporting a local…

We develop a harmonic gauge on the space of Riemannian metrics and study its role in the variational and flow-theoretic structure of geometric analysis. We prove that the harmonic gauge eliminates divergence-type terms in the first…

There are two primary goals to this paper. In the first part of the paper we study smooth metric measure spaces (M^n,g,e^{-f}dv_g) and give several ways of characterizing bounds -Kg\leq \Ric+\nabla^2f\leq Kg on the Ricci curvature of the…

We prove that a Ricci curvature based method of triangulation of compact Riemannian manifolds, due to Grove and Petersen, extends to the context of weighted Riemannian manifolds and more general metric measure spaces. In both cases the role…

In this paper we prove mean curvature comparisons and volume comparisons on a smooth metric measure space when the integral radial Bakry-\'Emery Ricci tensor and the potential function or its gradient are bounded. As applications, we prove…

Suppose $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold having dimension $n$, nonnegative Ricci curvature, maximal volume growth and unique tangent cone at infinity. In this case, the tangent cone at infinity $C(X)$ is an Euclidean cone over the…

This paper studies complete non-compact smooth metric measure space $(M^n,g,\mathrm{e}^{-f}\mathrm{d}v)$ with positive first spectrum $\lambda_1(\Delta_f)$ or satisfying a weighted Poincar\'e inequality with weight function $\rho$. We…

We obtain a compactness result for various classes of Riemannian metrics in dimension four; in particular our method applies to anti-self-dual metrics, Kahler metrics with constant scalar curvature, and metrics with harmonic curvature. With…

In this paper we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for metric measure spaces (X,d,m) which is stable under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and rules out Finsler geometries. It can be given in terms of…

The goal of this paper is twofold: we study metric measure spaces $(X,d,m)$ with variable lower bounds for the Ricci curvature and we study pathwise coupling of Brownian motions. Given any lower semicontinuous function $k:X\to \mathbb R$ we…

We present a new machine learning library for computing metrics of string compactification spaces. We benchmark the performance on Monte-Carlo sampled integrals against previous numerical approximations and find that our neural networks are…
