We study the quasi-local masses arising in general relativity using spinors and prove their positivity property. This leads to the question of a pure quasi-local proof of the positivity of the Wang-Yau \cite{yau} quasi-local mass. More…

In this paper lower bounds are obtained for quasi-local masses in terms of charge, angular momentum, and horizon area. In particular we treat three quasi-local masses based on a Hamiltonian approach, namely the Brown-York, Liu-Yau, and…

A Theorem of Kirichenko states that the torsion 3-form of the characteristic connection of a nearly K\"ahler manifold is parallel. On the other side, any almost hermitian manifold of type $\mathrm{G}_1$ admits a unique connection with…

As part of a programme to classify quasi-Einstein metrics $(M,g,X)$ on closed manifolds and near-horizon geometries of extreme black holes, we study such spaces when the vector field $X$ is divergence-free but not identically zero. This…

For an asymptotically flat initial data, the Penrose inequality gives a lower bound of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner total mass of a spacetime in terms of the area of certain surfaces representing black holes. This is a deep and beautiful…

The "new positive energy conjecture" Horowitz and Myers (1999) probes a possible nonsupersymmetric AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider a version formulated for complete, asymptotically Poincar\'e-Einstein Riemannian metrics $(M,g)$ with…

We derive a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat manifolds with boundary whose mean curvature satisfies a sharp estimate involving the conformal Green's function. The theorem also holds if the conformal Green's function is replaced…

In this paper, we study several types of geometric problems related to the Ricci curvature on noncompact complex manifolds, such as the existence of K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics on complete K\"{a}hler manifolds with negative Ricci curvature,…

We study Laplace eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ on K\"ahler manifolds as functionals on the space of K\"ahler metrics with cohomologous K\"ahler forms. We introduce a natural notion of a $\lambda_k$-extremal K\"ahler metric and obtain necessary…

We generalize K\"ahler-Ricci solitons to the almost-K\"ahler setting as the zeros of Inoue's moment map \cite{MR4017922}, and show that their existence is an obstruction to the existence of first-Chern-Einstein almost-K\"ahler metrics on…

A long-standing conjecture in non-K\"ahler geometry states that if the Chern (or Levi-Civita) holomorphic sectional curvature of a compact Hermitian manifold is a constant $c$, then the metric must be K\"ahler when $c\neq 0$ and must be…
