The classical Liouville theorem states that a bounded harmonic function on all of $\RR^n$ must be constant. In the early 1970s, S.T. Yau vastly generalized this, showing that it holds for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.…
The new results concerning the continuity of holomorphically contractible systems treated as set functions with respect to non-monotonic sequences of sets are given. In particular, continuity properties of Kobayashi and Carath\'eodory…
In this paper we study the extent to which conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metrics may be characterized intrinsically. Building on the work of the first author, we prove that decay of sectional curvature to -1 and decay of…
We study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor. We prove an existence theorem for a wide class of symmetric functions on manifolds with positive Ricci…
Given a pseudoconvex domain D in C^N, N>1, we prove that there is a holomorphic function f on D such that the lengths of paths p: [0,1]--> D along which Re f is bounded above, with p(0) fixed, grow arbitrarily fast as p(1)--> bD. A…
Let (M^n,g) be a n-dimensional complete, non-compact and connected Riemannian manifold, with Ricci tensor Ricc_g and sectional curvature Sec_g. Assume Ricc_g\geq (1-n)B^2, and either p>2 and Sec_g(x)=o(dist^2(x,a)) when dist^2(x,a)\to\infty…
A long-term project is to construct a complete Calabi-Yau metric on the complement of the anticanonical divisor in a compact K\"ahler manifold $\oM$. We focus on the case where this smooth divisor has multiplicity 2 and is itself a compact…
We develop the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau threefolds, by which we mean 3-dimensional complex manifolds with a nowhere-vanishing holomorphic 3-form, on manifolds with boundary. The boundary data is a closed, real 3-form on the…
Let $G\curvearrowright M$ be an isometric action of a Lie Group on a complete orientable Riemannian manifold. We disintegrate absolutely continuous measures with respect to the volume measure of $M$ along the principal orbits of…
We prove that a locally compact space with an upper curvature bound is a topological manifold if and only if all of its spaces of directions are homotopy equivalent and not contractible. We discuss applications to homology manifolds, limits…
We prove that a holomorphic line bundle on a projective manifold is pseudo-effective if and only if its degree on any member of a covering family of curves is non-negative. This is a consequence of a duality statement between the cone of…
In this paper, we study MRC fibrations of compact K\"ahler manifolds with partially semi-positive curvature. We first prove that a compact K\"ahler manifold is rationally connected if its tangent bundle is BC-$p$ positive for all $1\leq…
In this paper, we generalize Huber's finite point conformal compactification theorem to a higher dimensional manifold, which is conformally compact with $L^\frac{n}{2}$ integrable Ricci curvatures.
We prove that subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some asymptotically small sets on spheres, are bounded from above everywhere. It follows that subharmonic functions of…
We show that a compact Kahler manifold with nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature has nef canonical bundle. If the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative then it follows that the canonical bundle is ample, confirming a conjecture…
We prove that if a compact smooth polarized complex manifold admits in the corresponding Hodge K\"ahler class a conformally K\"ahler, Einstein--Maxwell metric, or more generally, a K\"ahler metric of constant $(\xi, a, p)$-scalar curvature,…
In this paper, we are able to prove an analogy of the Calabi-Yau theorem for complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature which are aspherical at infinity. The key tool is an existence result for arbitrarily large bounded…
Analytic self-maps of the unit disc whose hyperbolic derivative is uniformly bounded by a constant smaller than one, are called contractive. We describe these maps in terms of their Aleksandrov-Clark measures and in terms of their…
Let $X$ be the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of pointed complete K\"ahler manifolds $(M^n_i, p_i)$ satisfying $Ric(M_i)\geq -(n-1)$ and the volume is noncollapsed. We prove that, there exists a Lie group isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}$,…
In this paper, we study several types of geometric problems related to the Ricci curvature on noncompact complex manifolds, such as the existence of K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics on complete K\"{a}hler manifolds with negative Ricci curvature,…
