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,…

Conjugate gradient (CG) methods are widely acknowledged as efficient for minimizing continuously differentiable functions in Euclidean spaces. In recent years, various CG methods have been extended to Riemannian manifold optimization, but…

We solve the Levi-flat Plateau problem in the following case. Let $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 2$, be a connected compact real-analytic codimension-two submanifold with only nondegenerate CR singularities. Suppose $M$ is a…

Convex optimization is a well-established research area with applications in almost all fields. Over the decades, multiple approaches have been proposed to solve convex programs. The development of interior-point methods allowed solving a…

Local CR-generic submanifolds of C^N are in one-to-one correspondence with their respective graphing functions, but it is well known that (despite their importance) the Cartan-Hachtroudi-Chern-Moser invariants and coframes for Levi…

This note is aimed at simplifying current literature about compactness estimates for the Kohn-Laplacian on CR manifolds. The approach consists in a tangential basic estimate in the formulation given by the first author in \cite{Kh10} which…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

The symmetry-rank of a riemannian manifold is by definition the rank of its isometry group. We determine precisely which smooth closed manifolds admit a positively curved metric with maximal symmetry-rank.

In our previous work, we introduced a special type of Hermitian metrics called {\em torsion-critical,} which are non-K\"ahler critical points of the $L^2$-norm of Chern torsion over the space of all Hermitian metrics with unit volume on a…

We define new Riemannian structures on 7-manifolds by a differential form of mixed degree which is the critical point of a (possibly constrained) variational problem over a fixed cohomology class. The unconstrained critical points…

We propose a new approach to the study of compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary or positive Ricci curvature and convex boundary. Several conjectures are formulated. Some partial results…

We construct examples of compact homogeneous Riemannian manifolds admitting an invariant Bismut connection that is Ricci flat and non-flat, proving in this way that the generalized Alekseevsky-Kimelfeld theorem does not hold. The…

We compute a recently introduced geometric invariant of stricly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifolds for certain circle invariant spherical CR structures on Seifert manifolds. We give applications to the problem of filling the CR manifold by a…

We introduced a new coordinate-free approach to study the Cauchy-Riemann (CR) maps between the real hyperquadrics in the complex projective space. The central theme is based on a notion of orthogonality on the projective space induced by…

We study Hermitian geometrically formal metrics on compact complex manifolds, focusing on Dolbeault, Bott-Chern, and Aeppli cohomologies. We establish topological and cohomological obstructions to their existence and we provide a detailed…

We prove an analogue of the Lewy extension theorem for a real dimension $2n$ smooth submanifold $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n}\times {\mathbb R}$, $n \geq 2$. A theorem of Hill and Taiani implies that if $M$ is CR and the Levi-form has a…

Comparison theorems are foundational to our understanding of the geometric features implied by various curvature constraints. This paper considers manifolds with a positive lower bound on either scalar, 2-Ricci, or Ricci curvature, and…

We prove the equivalence of several natural notions of conformal maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main contribution is in the setting of those manifolds that support a suitable regularity theory for subelliptic $p$-Laplacian…

A general class of singular real hypersurfaces, called subanalytic, is defined. For a subanalytic hypersurface M in C^n, Cauchy-Riemann (or simply CR) functions on M are defined, and certain properties of CR functions discussed. In…
