Let X be a smooth projective Berkovich space over a complete discrete valuation field K of residue characteristic zero, endowed with an ample line bundle L. We introduce a general notion of (possibly singular) semipositive (or…
Given a smooth complex toric variety we will compare real Lagerberg forms and currents on its tropicalization with invariant complex forms and currents on the toric variety. Our main result is a correspondence theorem which identifies the…
We introduce a notion of admissible Hermitian metrics on parabolic bundles and define positivity properties for the same. We develop Chern-Weil theory for parabolic bundles and prove that our metric notions coincide with the already…
We define a theory of real $(p,q)$-forms and currents on Berkovich spaces which is parallel to the theory of differential forms on complex spaces. It is based on Lagerberg's theory of superforms in tropical geometry and on the consideration…
We give new characterizations of plurisubharmonic functions and Griffiths positivity of holomorphic vector bundles with singular Finsler metrics. As applications, we present a different method to prove plurisubharmonic variation of…
We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…
Zhang introduced semipositive metrics on a line bundle of a proper variety. In this paper, we generalize such metrics for a line bundle $L$ of a paracompact strictly $K$-analytic space $X$ over any non-archimedean field $K$. We prove…
Recently the authors showed that there is a robust potential theory attached to any calibrated manifold (X,\phi). In particular, on X there exist \phi-plurisubharmonic functions, \phi-convex domains, \phi-convex boundaries, etc., all…
It is well known that positivity properties of the curvature of a vector bundle have implications on the algebro-geometric properties of the bundle, such as numerical positivity, vanishing of higher cohomology leading to existence of global…
This is an expository article. In the first part we recall the definition and a few results concerning singular Hermitian metrics on torsion-free coherent sheaves. They offer the perfect platform for the study of properties of direct images…
We consider positivity properties of vector bundles over conic neighbourhoods of sections of submersions over $1$-convex manifolds.
Deng-Ning-Wang-Zhou showed that a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle is Griffiths semi-positive if it satisfies the optimal $L^2$-extension condition. As a generalization, we present a quantitative characterization of Griffiths positivity…
In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…
Our main goal in this article is to establish a quantitative version of the positivity properties of twisted relative pluricanonical bundles and their direct images. The notion of "singular Hermitian metric" on vector bundles (together with…
We present a method for constructing global holomorphic peak functions from local holomorphic support functions for broad classes of unbounded domains. As an application, we establish a method for showing the positivity and completeness of…
This article studies the harmonicity of vector fields on Riemannian manifolds, viewed as maps into the tangent bundle equipped with a family of Riemannian metrics. Geometric and topological rigidity conditions are obtained, especially for…
Let T be a positive plurisubharmonic current of bidimension (p,p) and let $\delta>0$. Assume that the Lelong number of T satisfies $\nu(T,a)\geq \delta$ on a dense subset of supp(T) (rectifiable currents satisfy this condition). Then…
This survey contains a selection of topics unified by the concept of positive semi-definiteness (of matrices or kernels), reflecting natural constraints imposed on discrete data (graphs or networks) or continuous objects (probability or…
We introduce the formalism of positive super currents on \mathbb{R}^{n}, in strong analogy with the theory of positive currents in \mathbb{C}^{n}. We consider intersection of currents and Lelong numbers, and as an application we show that…
This is a survey of results, both classical and recent, on behaviour of plurisubharmonic functions near their $-\infty$-points, together with the related topics for positive closed currents.
