We study compact complex 3-manifolds admitting holomorphic Riemannian metrics. We prove a uniformization result: up to a finite unramified cover, such a manifold admits a holomorphic Riemannian metric of constant sectionnal curvature.
In this paper, we discuss a rigidity property for holomorphic disks in Teichm\"uller space. In fact, we give a refinement of Tanigawa's rigidity theorem. We will also treat the rigidity property of holomorphic disks for complex manifolds.…
Let $ K $ be a convex body in $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We denote the volume of $ K $ by $ \vert K\vert $, and the polar body of its difference body $ K - K $ by $ (K - K)^{\circ} $. We provide a new proof of the well-known estimate \[ |K||(K -…
The paper is part of an attempt of understanding non-K\"ahler threefolds. We start by looking at compact complex non-K\"ahler threefolds with algebraic dimension two and admitting locally conformally K\"ahler metrics. Under certain…
We introduce complex generalizations of the classical Legendre transform, operating on K\"ahler metrics on a compact complex manifold. These Legendre transforms give explicit local isometric symmetries for the Mabuchi metric on the space of…
In this paper, we establish some comparison theorems for the total quotient curvature. Specifically, we examine the behavior of the functional with respect to the total quotient curvature and prove that the background Einstein metric…
We give an analog of triangle comparison for Kaehler manifolds with a lower bound on the holomorphic bisectional curvature. We show that the condition passes to noncollapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits. We discuss tangent cones and singular…
We propose an approach to the existence problem for locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on compact complex manifolds by introducing and studying a functional that is different according to whether the complex dimension of the manifold is…
This article investigates the subject of rigid compact complex manifolds. First of all we investigate the different notions of rigidity (local rigidity, global rigidity, infinitesimal rigidity, etale rigidity and strong rigidity) and the…
The tensile force along a cylindrical lipid bilayer tube is proportional to the membrane's bending modulus and inversely proportional to the tube radius. We show that this relation, which is experimentally exploited to measure bending…
In this paper, we derive a gradient estimate for the linear combinations of eigenforms of the Hodge Laplacian on a closed manifold. The estimate is given in terms of the dimension, volume, diameter and curvature bound of the manifold. As an…
We show that, in toric Kaehler geometry, the sign of the Ricci curvature corresponds exactly to convexity properties of the volume functional. We also discuss analogous relationships in the more general context of quasi-homogeneous…
The purpose of this paper is to establish a partial regularity theory on certain homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equations. As consequences of this new theory, we prove the uniqueness of extremal Kaehler metrics and give an necessary…
This is the second paper of two in a series under the same title ([CRX]); both study the quantitative volume space form rigidity conjecture: a closed $n$-manifold of Ricci curvature at least $(n-1)H$, $H=\pm 1$ or $0$ is diffeomorphic to a…
The inscribed radius of a compact manifold with boundary is bounded above if its Ricci curvature and mean curvature are bounded from below. The rigidity result implies that the upper bound can be achieved only in space form. In this paper,…
Let $M$ be a complete K\"ahler manifold with nonnegative bisectional curvature. Suppose the universal cover does not split and $M$ admits a nonconstant holomorphic function with polynomial growth, we prove $M$ must be of maximal volume…
The purpose of this paper is to establish a completely new partial regularity theory on certain homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equations. Our partial regularity theory will be obtained by studying foliations by holomorphic curves and and…
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. Our method allows…
On a Kahler manifold there is a clear connection between the complex geometry and underlying Riemannian geometry. In some ways, this can be used to characterize the Kahler condition. While such a link is not so obvious in the non-Kahler…
In this paper, we present finite topological type theorems for open manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature, under almost maximal local rewinding volume. Unlike previous related research, our theorems remove the constraints of sectional…
