We introduce a natural map from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a complex manifold to the corresponding one on the infinitesimal deformations of this complex manifold. By use of this map, we generalize an extension…

The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere $S^2$ endowed with $S^1$-invariant metrics, we consider the…

We consider the set of extremal points of the generalized unit ball induced by gradient total variation seminorms for vector-valued functions on bounded Euclidean domains. These are central to the understanding of sparse solutions and…

Suppose that a polarised K\"ahler manifold $(X,L)$ admits an extremal metric $\omega$. We prove that there exists a sequence of K\"ahler metrics $\{ \omega_k \}_k$, converging to $\omega$ as $k \to \infty$, each of which satisfies the…

The conformal Killing equations for the most general (non-plane wave) conformally flat pure radiation field are solved to find the conformal Killing vectors. As expected fifteen independent conformal Killing vectors exist, but in general…

We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…

We study Hermitian metrics with constant second scalar curvature on compact manifolds. We first consider a Yamabe-type problem for the second Bismut scalar curvature under a natural topological condition, and then analyze elliptic equations…

Let $E= A - iB$ be a Hermite-Biehler entire function of exponential type $\tau/2$ where $A$ and $B$ are real entire, and consider $d\mu(x) = dx/|E(x)|^2$. We show that the sign of the product $A B$ is an extremal signature for the space of…

We believe that Euler constant is not just the "renormalized" value of the Riemann zeta function in 1. In a sense that we shall clarify it is in fact the normal and natural value of zeta of 1. In this paper we first propose a limit…

We consider fractional isoperimetric problems of calculus of variations with double integrals via the recent modified Riemann-Liouville approach. A necessary optimality condition of Euler-Lagrange type, in the form of a multitime fractional…

We initiate quantitative studies of complexity in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories with a view that they provide the simplest setting to find a gravity dual to complexity. Our work pursues a geometric understanding of complexity…

The classical Arnold-Liouville theorem describes the geometry of an integrable Hamiltonian system near a regular level set of the moment map. Our results describe it near a nondegenerate singular level set: a tubular neighborhood of a…

We show that on every manifold, every conformal class of semi-Riemannian metrics contains a metric $g$ such that each $k$-th-order covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor of $g$ has bounded absolute value $a_k$. This result is new also…

We show that given an initial vorticity which is bounded and $m$-fold rotationally symmetric for $m \ge 3$, there is a unique global solution to the 2D Euler equation on the whole plane. That is, in the well-known $L^1 \cap L^\infty$ theory…

Motivated by the supersymmetric extension of Liouville theory in the recent physics literature, we couple the standard Liouville functional with a spinor field term. The resulting functional is conformally invariant. We study geometric and…

This is a survey paper of our current research on the theory of partial differential equations in conformal geometry. Our intention is to describe some of our current works in a rather brief and expository fashion. We are not giving a…

We show that any conformal vector field on a compact lcK manifold is Killing with respect to the Gauduchon metric. Furthermore, we prove that any conformal vector field on a compact lcK manifold whose K\"ahler cover is neither flat, nor…

On a given compact complex manifold or orbifold $(M,J)$, we study the existence of Hermitian metrics $\tilde g$ in the conformal classes of K\"ahler metrics on $(M,J)$, such that the Ricci tensor of $\tilde g$ is of type $(1,1)$ with…

Whereas in a coordinate-dependent setting the Euler-Lagrange equations establish necessary conditions for solving variational problems in which both the integrands of functionals and the resulting paths are assumed to be sufficiently…
