We confirm a conjecture of Hamilton: On compact manifolds the normalized Ricci flow evolves metrics with positive curvature operators to limit metrics with constant curvature.

A weakly complete space is a complex space admitting a (smooth) plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. In this paper, we classify those weakly complete complex surfaces for which such exhaustion function can be chosen real analytic: they can…

We prove that for any six points on the Riemann sphere there exist three disjoint closed (or open) discs, each of which contains exactly two of the six distinguished points. This statement shows that recently proposed method to numerically…

On any compact manifold of dimension greater than 3, we exhibit a metric whose first positive eigenvalue for the Laplacian acting on p-form is of multiplicity 2. As a corollary, we prescribe the volume and any finite part of the spectrum of…

We prove some extension results for holomorphic mappings with values in complex Hilbert manifolds

We provide a sufficient condition for open sets W and X such that a disc formula for the largest plurisubharmonic subextension of an upper semicontinuous function on a domain W to a complex manifold X holds.

First, we provide another proof that the signed count of the real $J$-holomorphic spheres (or $J$-holomorphic discs) passing through a generic real configuration of $k$ points is independent of the choice of the real configuration and the…

We study holomorphic 2-forms on projective (or compact Kaehler) threefolds not of general type and prove that in almost all cases the 2-form is created by some standard process. This means roughly that every 2-form is induced by a…

We prove that every Stein manifold X of dimension n admits [(n+1)/2] holomorphic functions with pointwise independent differentials, and this number is maximal for every n. In particular, X admits a holomorphic function without critical…

In this paper, we study the existence of a complete holomorphic vector fields on a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold admitting a negatively curved complete K\"ahler-Einstein metric and a discrete sequence of automorphisms. Using the…

In this talk, I will discuss the use of harmonic functions to study the geometry and topology of complete manifolds. In my previous joint work with Luen-fai Tam, we discovered that the number of infinities of a complete manifold can be…

Simple approaches to the proofs of the L^2 Castelnuovo-de Franchis theorem and the cup product lemma which give new versions are developed. For example, suppose u and v are two linearly independent closed holomorphic 1-forms on a bounded…

In this paper we study the structure of complex points of codimension 2 real submanifolds in complex $n$ dimensional manifolds. We show that the local structure of a complex point up to isotopy only depends on their type (either elliptic or…

We study a properly convex real projective manifold with (possibly empty) compact, strictly convex boundary, and which consists of a compact part plus finitely many convex ends. We extend a theorem of Koszul which asserts that for a compact…

On a compact K\"{a}hler manifold $X$ with a holomorphic 2-form $\a$, there is an almost complex structure associated with $\a$. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. This extends the approach,…

Let $X$ be a real algebraic variety with set of complex points $X_{\mathbb C}$ and set of real points $X_{\mathbb R}$. A complex slice of $X$ is a transverse intersection of $X_{\mathbb R}$ with a complex subvariety $V$ of $X_{\mathbb C}$.…

We consider holomorphic functions on the unit disc whose images are contained in a strip of the complex plane. Under an additional condition, such functions are constants. We also consider appropriate operator valued versions. Applications…

In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of hypersurfaces in a compact complex manifold X (passing through the right number of points), that has a simple node, a cusp or a tacnode. The hypersurfaces belong to a linear…

Let $B^n$ be the $n$-dimensional unit complex ball and let $a$ and $b$ be two distinct points in its closure. Let $f$ be a real-analytic function on the complex unit sphere $\partial B^n.$ Suppose that for any complex line $L,$ meeting the…

Suppose $G$ is a connected complex Lie group and $H$ is a closed complex subgroup such that $X := G/H$ is Kaehler and the codimension of the top non-vanishing homology group of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ is less than or equal to…
