We study regularity properties of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the complex Homogeneous Monge-Amp\`ere equation. We show that for certain boundary data on $\mathbb P^1$ the solution $\Phi$ to this Dirichlet problem is connected via…
We develop a new approach to $L^{\infty}$-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on complex manifolds. It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions. In a prequel…
We show how a symmetry reduction of the equations for incompressible hydrodynamics in three dimensions leads naturally to a Monge-Amp\`ere structure, and Burgers'-type vortices are a canonical class of solutions associated with this…
We show that the Monge-Amp\`ere density of the extremal function $V_P$ for a non-convex Pac-Man set $P\subset {\bf R}^2$ tends to a finite limit as we approach the vertex $p$ of $P$ linearly but with a value that may vary with the line. On…
We study various capacities on compact K\"{a}hler manifolds which generalize the Bedford-Taylor Monge-Amp\`ere capacity. We then use these capacities to study the existence and the regularity of solutions of complex Monge-Amp\`ere…
We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…
We prove a functional version of the additive kinematic formula as an application of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions together with a Kubota-type formula for mixed Monge-Amp\`ere measures. As an application, we give a new…
Let $E$ be a principle bundle over a compact manifold $M$ with compact structural group $G$. For any $G$-invariant polynomial $P$, The transgressive forms $TP(\omega)$ defined by Chern and Simons are shown to extend to forms $\Phi…
We solve a general class of free boundary Monge-Amp\`ere equations given by \[ \det D^2u = \lambda \dfrac{f(-u)}{g(u^\star)h(\nabla u)}\chi_{\{u<0\}} \; \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^n, \quad \nabla u (\mathbb{R}^n) = P \] where $P$ is a bounded…
We prove that a complete noncompact K\"ahler surface with positive and bounded sectional curvature is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^2$. This result confirms a special case of Yau's conjecture that a complete noncompact K\"ahler $n$-manifold…
We solve the quaternionic Monge-Amp\`ere equation on hyperK\"ahler manifolds. In this way we prove the ansatz for the conjecture raised by Alesker and Verbitsky claiming that this equation should be solvable on any hyperK\"ahler with…
Uniform $L^1$ and lower bounds are obtained for the Green's function on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Unlike in the classic theorem of Cheng-Li for Riemannian manifolds, the lower bounds do not depend directly on the Ricci curvature, but only…
In this paper, we prove the positivity of the double mixed discriminant associated with a positive linear map between spaces of third-order complex matrices, thereby settling the three-dimensional case of Finski's open problem. As an…
On a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$, we study the strong continuity of solutions with prescribed singularities of complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations with integrable Lebesgue densities. Moreover, we give sufficient conditions for the…
The goal of this short note is to relate the integrability property of the exponential $e^{-2\phi}$ of a plurisubharmonic function $\phi$ with isolated or compactly supported singularities, to a priori bounds for the Monge-Amp\`ere mass of…
In this note we introduce and study basic properties of two types of modules over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ of positive prime characteristic. The first is the category of modules of finite $F$-type. These objects include reflexive…
Let $\Cal E$ be a very ample vector bundle of rank two on a smooth complex projective threefold $X$. An inequality about the third Segre class of $\Cal E$ is provided when $K_X+\det \Cal E$ is nef but not big, and when a suitable positive…
We use presentations of the Cox rings of projectivized toric vector bundles and elements of matroid theory to compute Newton-Okounkov bodies, effective cones, and nef cones of these spaces. As an application we analyze the Fano property and…
Let $P$ be a convex body containing the origin in its interior. We study a real Monge-Amp\`ere equation with singularities along $\del P$ which is Legendre dual to a certain free boundary Monge-Amp\`ere equation. This is motivated by the…
