In this paper, we study the existence of a complete holomorphic vector fields on a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold admitting a negatively curved complete K\"ahler-Einstein metric and a discrete sequence of automorphisms. Using the…
In this paper, we characterize weakly pseudoconvex domains of finite type in $\mathbb C^n$ in terms of the boundary behavior of automorphism orbits by using the scaling method.
The authors study the method of scaling in the context of the study of automorphism groups of complex domains in multiple dimensions. Various types of scaling techniques are compared and contrasted. Applications are given in a number of…
This paper is a sequel to \cite{Choi} in Math. Ann. In that paper we studied the subharmonicity of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on strongly pseudoconvex domains of dimension greater than or equal to $3$. In this paper, we study the variations…
Suppose that u is the potential function of a complete K\"ahler-Einstein metric on a bounded strictly convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We prove that u itself is strictly convex.
We study how the existence of a negatively pinched K\"ahler metric on a domain in complex Euclidean space restricts the geometry of its boundary. In particular, we show that if a convex domain admits a complete K\"ahler metric, with pinched…
A new class of affine scaling matrices for the interior point Newton-type methods is considered to solve the nonlinear systems with simple bounds. We review the essential properties of a scaling matrix and consider several well-known…
This is an account of some aspects of the geometry of K\"ahler affine metrics based on considering them as smooth metric measure spaces and applying the comparison geometry of Bakry-Emery Ricci tensors. Such techniques yield a version for…
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first aim is to characterize $h$-extendibility of smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb C^{n+1}$ by their noncompact automorphism groups. Our second goal is to show that if the…
We study some special almost complex structures on strictly pseudoconvex domains. They appear naturally as limits under a nonisotroping scaling procedure and play a role of model objects in the geometry of almost complex manifolds with…
We study the semicontinuity of automorphism groups for perturbations of domains in complex space or in complex manifolds. We provide a new approach to the study of such results for domains having minimal boundary smoothness. The emphasis in…
Sampling of sharp posteriors in high dimensions is a challenging problem, especially when gradients of the likelihood are unavailable. In low to moderate dimensions, affine-invariant methods, a class of ensemble-based gradient-free methods,…
In discrete convex analysis, the scaling and proximity properties for the class of L$^\natural$-convex functions were established more than a decade ago and have been used to design efficient minimization algorithms. For the larger class of…
We survey results arising from the study of domains in C^n with non-compact automorphism group. Beginning with a well-known characterization of the unit ball, we develop ideas toward a consideration of weakly pseudoconvex (and even…
The recent literature on first order methods for smooth optimization shows that significant improvements on the practical convergence behaviour can be achieved with variable stepsize and scaling for the gradient, making this class of…
In this paper, we study constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metrics on complete non-compact K\"ahler--Einstein manifolds. We give sufficient conditions under which a cscK perturbation of a K\"ahler--Einstein metric must remain…
We extend Tsuji's iterative construction of complete K\"ahler--Einstein metrics with negative scalar curvature to noncompact K\"ahler manifolds with bounded geometry, using Berndtsson's method from the compact setting. Consequently, given a…
We study the complete Kahler-Einstein metric in tube domains. We obtain estimates of this metric and its holomorphic bisectional curvatures near the weakly pseudoconvex boundary points.
We investigate a class of composite nonconvex functions, where the outer function is the sum of univariate extended-real-valued convex functions and the inner function is the limit of difference-of-convex functions. A notable feature of…
We prove that admissible functions for Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective space $P_{m}C$, of complex dimension $m$, invariant by a convenient automorphisms group, are lower bounded by a function going to minus infinity on the…
