In this paper we study the dimension reduction limits of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations over product Riemannian manifolds $\mathcal{O}_\epsilon \cong \mathcal{M} \times \epsilon\mathcal{F}$, such that $\dim\,(\mathcal{M})=n$ and…

We study the renormalized volume of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein (AHE in short) manifolds $(M,g)$ when the conformal boundary $\pl M$ has dimension $n$ even. Its definition depends on the choice of metric $h_0$ on $\partial M$ in the…

For a fixed $k\in\{1,\dots,d\}$ consider random vectors $X_0,\dots, X_{k}\in\mathbb R^d$ with an arbitrary spherically symmetric joint density function. Let $A$ be any non-singular $d\times d$ matrix. We show that the $k$-dimensional volume…

In this paper, we build connections between K\"ahler-Ricci shrinkers, i.e., complete (possibly non-compact) shrinking gradient K\"ahler-Ricci solitons, and algebraic geometry. In particular, we (1). prove that a K\"ahler-Ricci shrinker is…

We characterize the global maximizers of a certain non-local functional defined on the space of all positively curved metrics on an ample line bundle L over a Kahler manifold X. This functional is an adjoint version, introduced by…

In [MT2] the Vafa-Witten theory of complex projective surfaces is lifted to oriented $\mathbb C^*$-equivariant cohomology theories. Here we study the K-theoretic refinement. It gives rational functions in $t^{1/2}$ invariant under…

Let Y^n denote the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence M^n_i-> Y^n of v-noncollapsed riemannian manifolds with Ric_i\geq-(n-1). The singular set S of Y has a stratification S^0\subset S^1\subset\...\subset S, where y\in S^k if no tangent…

Let K/Q be a field extension of finite degree and let P(t) be a polynomial over Q that splits into linear factors over Q. We show that any smooth model of the affine variety defined by the equation N_{K/Q} (k) = P(t) satisfies the Hasse…

We show that for a K-unstable Fano variety, any divisorial valuation computing its stability threshold induces a non-trivial special test configuration preserving the stability threshold. When such a divisorial valuation exists, we show…

H. Guggenheimer generalized the planar volume product problem for locally convex curves $C$ enclosing the origin $k \ge 2$ times. He conjectured that the minimal volume product $V(C)V(C^*)$ for these curves is attained if the curve consists…

The low energy effective theory on a stack of D3-branes at a Calabi-Yau singularity is an $\mathcal{N} = 1$ quiver gauge theory. The AdS/CFT correspondence predicts that the strong coupling dynamics of the gauge theory is described by…

We study Riemannian geometry of canonical Kahler-Einstein currents on projective Calabi-Yau varieties and canonical models of general type with crepant singularities. We prove that the metric completion of the regular part of such a…

A new class of compact K\"ahler manifolds, called special, is defined, which are the ones having no surjective meromorphic map to an orbifold of general type. The special manifolds are in many respect higher-dimensional generalisations of…

We show that the Einstein-Hilbert functional, as a functional on the space of Reeb vector fields, detects the vanishing Sasaki-Futaki invariant. In particular, this provides an obstruction to the existence of a constant scalar curvature…

In this paper, we extend Tosatti's method to study the lower boundedness of modified $K$-energy on a Fano manifold and apply this result to study the relative $K$-stability of the deformation space of a K\"ahler Ricci soliton.

This article considers the existence and regularity of Kahler-Einstein metrics on a compact Kahler manifold $M$ with edge singularities with cone angle $2\pi\beta$ along a smooth divisor $D$. We prove existence of such metrics with…

We establish sharp inequalities for two-dimensional systolic invariants of metrics with positive scalar curvature: the $2$-systole and the spherical $2$-systole of compact K\"ahler manifolds, and the stable $2$-systole of Riemannian metrics…

We investigate the asymptotic expansion and the renormalized volume of minimal submanifolds, $Y^m$ of arbitrary codimension in Poincare-Einstein manifolds, $M^{n+1}$. In particular, we derive formulae for the first and second variations of…
