Typical existence result on Ricci-flat metrics is in manifolds of finite geometry, that is, on $F=\bar F-D$ where $\bar F$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ is a smooth divisor. We view this existence problem from a different…

There is a conjecture that a complete Riemannian 3-manifold with bounded sectional curvature, and pointwise pinched nonnegative Ricci curvature, must be flat or compact. We show that this is true when the negative part (if any) of the…

In the early 1980s, S. T. Yau conjectured that any compact Riemannian three-manifold admits an infinite number of closed immersed minimal surfaces. We use min-max theory for the area functional to prove this conjecture in the positive Ricci…
