We analyze stability of conservative solutions of the Cauchy problem on the line for the (integrated) Hunter-Saxton (HS) equation. Generically, the solutions of the HS equation develop singularities with steep gradients while preserving…

In this paper, using Donaldson's heat flow, we show that the semi-stability of a Higgs bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold implies the existence of approximate Hermitian-Einstein structure on the Higgs bundle.

We examine various examples of horosymmetric manifolds which exhibit interesting properties with respect to canonical metrics. In particular, we determine when the blow-up of a quadric along a linear subquadric admits K\"ahler-Einstein…

Obstruction flatness of a strongly pseudoconvex hypersurface $\Sigma$ in a complex manifold refers to the property that any (local) K\"ahler-Einstein metric on the pseudoconvex side of $\Sigma$, complete up to $\Sigma$, has a potential…

In this article we construct a canonical K\"{a}hler-Einstein current on a LC (log canonical) pairs of log general type as the limit of a sequence of canonical K\"{a}hler-Einstein currents on KLT(Kawamata log terminal) pairs of log general…

We show that any compact convex simple lattice polytope is the moment polytope of a K\"ahler-Einstein orbifold, unique up to orbifold covering and homothety. We extend the Wang-Zhu Theorem \cite{WZ} giving the existence of a K\"ahler-Ricci…

Smooth metric measure spaces have been studied from the two different perspectives of Bakry-\'Emery and Chang-Gursky-Yang, both of which are closely related to work of Perelman on the Ricci flow. These perspectives include a generalization…

Considering pseudo-Riemannian $g$-natural metrics on tangent bundles, we prove that the condition of being Ricci soliton is hereditary in the sense that a Ricci soliton structure on the tangent bundle gives rise to a Ricci soliton structure…

We present a general numerical method for investigating prescribed Ricci curvature problems on toric K\"ahler manifolds. This method is applied to two generalisations of Einstein metrics, namely Ricci solitons and quasi-Einstein metrics. We…

While Einstein's theory of gravity is formulated in a smooth setting, the celebrated singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose describe many physical situations in which this smoothness must eventually break down. In positive-definite…

We show that Hermitian-Einstein metrics can be locally constructed by a map from (anti-)self-dual two-forms on Euclidean ${\mathbb R}^4$ to symmetric two-tensors introduced in "Gravitational instantons from gauge theory," H. S. Yang and M.…

Let L be an ample holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex Hermitian manifold X. Any fixed smooth Hermitian metric on L induces a Hilbert space structure on the space of global holomorphic sections with values in the k:th tensor power…

In 1980, I. Morrison proved that slope stability of a vector bundle of rank 2 over a compact Riemann surface implies Chow stability of the projectivization of the bundle with respect to certain polarizations. Using the notion of balanced…

We develop a new method for bounding the relative entropy of a random vector in terms of its Stein factors. Our approach is based on a novel representation for the score function of smoothly perturbed random variables, as well as on the de…

Let $(E,\overline{\partial}_E,\theta)$ be a stable Higgs bundle of degree $0$ on a compact connected Riemann surface. Once we fix the flat metric $h_{\det(E)}$ on the determinant of $E$, we have the harmonic metrics $h_t$ $(t>0)$ for the…

The generalized harmonic representation of Einstein's equation is manifestly hyperbolic for a large class of gauge conditions. Unfortunately most of the useful gauges developed over the past several decades by the numerical relativity…

In the probabilistic construction of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a complex projective algebraic manifold X - involving random point processes on X - a key role is played by the partition function. In this work a new quantitative bound on…

We introduce the tractor formalism from conformal geometry to the study of smooth metric measure spaces. In particular, this gives rise to a correspondence between quasi-Einstein metrics and parallel sections of certain tractor bundles. We…

This article describes a Hitchin-Kobayashi style correspondence for the Vafa-Witten equations on smooth projective surfaces. This is an equivalence between a suitable notion of stability for a pair $(\mathcal{E}, \varphi)$, where…

We prove an existence result for twisted K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, assuming an appropriate twisted K-stability condition. An improvement over earlier results is that certain non-negative twisting forms are allowed.
