We show that if a compact complex manifold admits a K\"ahler metric whose holomorphic sectional curvature is everywhere non positive and strictly negative in at least one point, then its canonical bundle is positive.

A compact K\"ahler manifold is shown to be simply-connected if its `symmetric cotangent algebra' is trivial. Conjecturally, such a manifold should even be rationally connected. The relative version is also shown: a proper surjective…

The concept of RC-positivity and uniform RC-positivity is introduced by Xiaokui Yang to solve a conjecture of Yau on projectivity and rational connectedness of a compact K\"ahler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Some…

Given a proper, open, holomorphic map of K\"ahler manifolds, whose general fibers are Calabi-Yau manifolds, the volume forms for the Ricci-flat metrics induce a hermitian metric on the relative canonical bundle over the regular locus of the…

In this paper, we show that every harmonic map from a compact K\"ahler manifold with uniformly RC-positive curvature to a Riemannian manifold with non-positive complex sectional curvature is constant. In particular, there is no non-constant…

It was conjectured by Bott-Grove-Halperin that a compact simply connected Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonnegative sectional curvature is rationally elliptic. We confirm this conjecture under the stronger assumption that $M$ has entire…

Let $E\to X$ be a vector bundle of rank $r$ over a compact complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$. It is known that if the line bundle $O_{P(E^*)}(1)$ over the projectivized bundle $P(E^*)$ is positive, then $E\otimes \det E$ is Nakano…
