The Bousso bound requires that one quarter the area of a closed codimension two spacelike surface exceeds the entropy flux across a certain lightsheet terminating on the surface. The bound can be violated by quantum effects such as Hawking…

The goal of this short note is to point out that every Fano manifold with a nef tangent bundle possesses an almost K{\"a}hler-Einstein metric, in a weak sense. The technique relies on a regularization theorem for closed positive (1,…

Let X be a Fano manifold. G.Tian proves that if X admits a Kaehler-Einstein metric, then it satisfies two different stability conditions: one involving the Futaki invariant of a special degeneration of X, the other Hilbert-Mumford-stability…

We prove a laplacian comparison theorem in the barrier sense for the function distance to the boundary of Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, area and mean curvature of the boundary bounded above. As an application we get…

We prove a criterion for K-stability of a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano spherical variety with respect to equivariant special test configurations, in terms of its moment polytope and some combinatorial data associated to the open orbit. Combined with…

In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…

We develop area and volume comparison theorems for the evolution of spacelike, acausal, causally complete hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds, where one has a lower bound on the Ricci tensor along timelike curves, and an upper bound on…

We prove finiteness of the number of smooth blow-downs on Fano manifolds and boundedness results for the geometry of non projective Fano-like manifolds. Our proofs use properness of Hilbert schemes and Mori theory.

We propose a mathematical model of quantum spacetime as an infinite-dimensional manifold locally homeomorphic to an appropriate Schwartz space. This extends and unifies both the standard function space construction of quantum mechanics and…

We investigate the universal cover of projective threefolds whose tangent bundle is a direct sum of subbundles in case the Kodaira dimension is not 1 and 2. We also prove results on Fano manifolds with splitting tangent bundles in any…

We study Q-Fano threefolds of large Fano index. In particular, we prove that the maximum of Fano index is attained for the weighted projective space P(3,4,5,7).

A formula of the renormalized volume of tubes over polalized K\"{a}hler-Einstein manifolds is given in terms of the Einstein constant and the volume of the polarization.

A covariant spin-foam formulation of quantum gravity has been recently developed, characterized by a kinematics which appears to match well the one of canonical loop quantum gravity. In particular, the geometrical observable giving the area…

In this paper, we study the deformation limit of compact Kahler manifolds. We show that the limit to be a manifold in the Fujiki class C is equivalent to the finiteness of the upper volume. We also prove the Streets-Tian conjecture for a…

We are concerned in this article with a classical question in spectral geometry dating back to McKean-Singer, Patodi and Tanno: whether or not the constancy of holomorphic sectional curvature of a complex $n$-dimensional compact K\"ahler…

In a $(1+n)$-dimensional Lorentz--Finsler manifold with $N$-Bakry--\'Emery Ricci curvature bounded below for $N\in(n,\infty]$, using the Riccati equation techniques, we established the Bishop--Gromov volume comparison for the so-called…

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…

We compute explicitly the Riemannian volume, with respect to the Fubini-Study metric, of a domain bounded by a Hermitian quadric in complex projective space. The volume is a rational function of the eigenvalues of the defining quadratic…

We study the volume of compact Riemannian manifolds which are Einstein with respect to a metric connection with (parallel) skew-torsion. We provide a result for the sign of the first variation of the volume in terms of the corresponding…

We propose new types of canonical metrics on K\"ahler manifolds, called coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics, generalizing K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. We prove existence and uniqueness results in the cases when the canonical bundle is ample and…
