In this expository paper we review on the existence problem of Einstein-Maxwell K\"ahler metrics, and make several remarks. Firstly, we consider a slightly more general set-up than Einstein-Maxwell K\"ahler metrics, and give extensions of…
We show that if a Fano manifold $M$ is K-stable with respect to special degenerations equivariant under a compact group of automorphisms, then $M$ admits a K\"ahler-Einstein metric. This is a strengthening of the solution of the…
In the present paper and the companion paper [8] a probabilistic (statistical mechanical) approach to the study of canonical metrics and measures on a complex algebraic variety X is introduced. On any such variety with positive Kodaira…
A necessary condition that a St\"ackel-Killing tensor of valence 2 be the contracted product of a Killing-Yano tensor of valence 2 with itself is re-derived for a Riemannian manifold. This condition is applied to the generalized Euclidean…
In this article, we study the blowup phenomena of compressible Euler equations with non-vacuum initial data. Our new results, which cover a general class of testing functions, present new initial value blowup conditions. The corresponding…
We exhibit families of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on K3 surfaces which collapse to an interval, with Tian-Yau and Taub-NUT metrics occurring as bubbles. There is a corresponding continuous surjective map from the K3 surface to the interval,…
We extend the Faltings modular heights of abelian varieties to general arithmetic varieties and show direct relations with the Kahler-Einstein geometry, the Minimal Model Program, heights of Bost and Zhang, and give some applications. Along…
The gravitational anomalies are investigated for generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT metrics which admit hidden symmetries analogous to the Runge-Lenz vector of the Kepler-type problem. In order to evaluate the axial anomalies, the index of the…
The semi-classical stability of several AdS NUT instantons is studied. Throughout, the notion of stability is that of stability at the one-loop level of Euclidean Quantum Gravity. Instabilities manifest themselves as negative eigenmodes of…
In this paper is to extend the Cheeger-Colding Theory to the class of conic Kahler-Einstein metrics. This extension provides a technical tool for [LTW] in which we prove a version of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for Fano varieties with…
A second-order PDE is derived from Euler's equaitons under certain assumptions. It is shown that this PDE admits shock and rarefaction waves, and that a single point gradient blow-up admits a unique similarity extension after blow-up that…
The purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness of conical K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, under the condition that the twisted $Ding$-functional is proper. This is a generalization of the author's previous work, and we shall first…
We extend an argument of Stoppa to make some prgress towards a proof that K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds are "b-stable". We point out some algebro-geometric questions, involving finite generation, that arise.
Hidden symmetries of generalized Kaluza-Klein-type metrics are studied using van Holten's systematic analysis \cite{vH} based on Killing tensors. Applied to generalized Taub-NUT metrics, Kepler-type symmetries with associated…
We present a new blow-up method that allows for establishing the first general formula to compute the perimeter measure with respect to the spherical Hausdorff measure in noncommutative nilpotent groups. This result leads us to an…
In this paper we study the symmetries of the dual Taub-NUT metrics. Generic and non-generic symmetries of dual Taub-NUT metrics are investigated. The existence of the Runge-Lenz type symmetry is analyzed for dual Taub-NUT metrics. We find…
We introduce and study a surface defect in four dimensional gauge theories supporting nested instantons with respect to the parabolic reduction of the gauge group at the defect. This is engineered from a D3/D7-branes system on a non compact…
The notion of coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics was introduced recently by Hultgren-WittNystr\"om. In this paper we discuss deformation of a coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold. In particular we obtain a necessary and…
Using the harmonic superspace formalism, we find the metric of a certain 8-dimensional manifold. This manifold is not compact and represents an 8-dimensional generalization of the Taub-NUT manifold. Our conjecture is that the metric that we…
In this paper we revisit a singular bulk potential in the Landau-de Gennes free energy that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in the framework of the Q-tensor order parameter. This singular potential, called Ball-Majumdar…
