We introduce new probabilistic and variational constructions of (twisted) K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on complex projective algebraic varieties, drawing inspiration from Onsager's statistical mechanical model of turbulence in two-dimensional…
We first provide an alternative proof of the classical Weitzneb\"ock formula for Einstein four-manifolds using Berger curvature decomposition, motivated by which we establish a unified framework for a Weitzenb\"ock formula for a large class…
We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
For $\phi$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $$ \int_X e^{-\phi}. $$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along continuous geodesics in the space of positively…
Peng Wu recently announced a beautiful characterization of conformally Kaehler, Einstein metrics of positive scalar curvature on compact oriented 4-manifolds via the condition det (W^+) > 0. In this note, we buttress his claim by providing…
We study a variational problem on a smooth manifold with a decomposition of the tangent bundle into $k>2$ subbundles (distributions), namely, we consider the integrated sum of their mixed scalar curvatures as a functional of adapted…
We prove the existence of a Hermitian-Einstein metric on holomorphic vector bundles with a Hermitian metric satisfying the analytic stability condition, under some assumption for the underlying K\"ahler manifolds. We also study the…
We study the Kahler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds. We show that if the curvature is bounded along the flow and if the manifold is K-polystable and asymptotically Chow semistable, then the flow converges exponentially fast to a…
In our previous paper math.DG/0010008, we develop some new techniques in attacking the convergence problems for the K\"ahler Ricci flow. The one of main ideas is to find a set of new functionals on curvature tensors such that the Ricci flow…
This paper is devoted to the study of a problem arising from a geometric context, namely the conformal deformation of a Riemannian metric to a scalar flat one having constant mean curvature on the boundary. By means of blow-up analysis…
We give a simple geometric description of all formal deformation quantizations on a K\"ahler manifold $M$ which enjoy the following property of separation of variables into holomorphic and antiholomorphic ones. For each open subset…
We prove existence of twisted K\"ahler-Einstein metrics in big cohomology classes, using a divisorial stability condition. In particular, when $-K_X$ is big, we obtain a uniform Yau-Tian-Donaldson existence theorem for K\"ahler-Einstein…
In this paper we prove that the K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics for a degeneration family of K\"{a}hler manifolds with ample canonical bundles Gromov-Hausdorff converge to the complete K\"{a}hler-Einstein metric on the smooth part of the…
We prove certain weak or idealized existence results for minimizers of the natural quadratic curvature functionals on the space of metrics on 4-manifolds. Overall, we try to exhibit the relations with the picture in 3-dimensions provided by…
Using the stress energy tensor, we establish some monotonicity formulae for vector bundle-valued p-forms satisfying the conservation law, provided that the base Riemannian (resp. K\"ahler) manifolds poss some real (resp. complex)…
We present and study a family of metrics on the space of compact subsets of $R^N$ (that we call ``shapes''). These metrics are ``geometric'', that is, they are independent of rotation and translation; and these metrics enjoy many…
We study Einstein deformations of negative K\"ahler Einstein metrics. We relate the second order Einstein deformation theory of negative K\"ahler-Einstein metrics to the complex geometry of the underlying K\"ahler manifold. After suitable…
We look for four dimensional Einstein-Weyl spaces equipped with a regular Bianchi metric. Using the explicit 4-parameters expression of the distance obtained in a previous work for non-conformally-Einstein Einstein-Weyl structures, we show…

Biconformal deformations take place in the presence of a conformal foliation, deforming by different factors tangent to and orthogonal to the foliation. Four-manifolds endowed with a conformal foliation by surfaces present a natural context…
