Given a compact K\"ahler manifold (X,\omega_0), according to Mabuchi, the set of K\"ahler forms cohomologous to \omega_0 has the natural structure of an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold. We address the question whether points in…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega_0)$ let $\mathcal H_{0}$ be the set of K\"ahler forms cohomologous to $\omega_0$. As observed by Mabuchi \cite{m}, this space has the structure of an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold, if…

Suppose $(X,\omega)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold. Following Mabuchi, the space of smooth K\"ahler potentials $\mathcal H$ can be endowed with a Riemannian structure, which induces an infinite dimensional path length metric space…

In this paper we address the following question regarding the regularity of geodesics in the space of K\"ahler potentials. Given a geodesic which is highly regular, and has smooth boundary value, can we expect that it is actually smooth? We…

On a compact complex affine manifold with a constant coefficient K\"ahler metric $\omega_0$, we introduce a concept: $(S,\omega_0)$-convexity and show that $(S,\omega_0)$-convexity is preserved by geodesics in the space of K\"ahler…

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold is called geodesic if its integral curves are reparametrized geodesics. We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds admitting nontrivial real-holomorphic geodesic gradient vector fields that satisfy an…

Given a compact K\"ahler manifold, we prove that all global isometries of the space of K\"ahler metrics are induced by biholomorphisms and anti-biholomorphisms of the manifold. In particular, there exist no global symmetries for Mabuchi's…

Let $V$ be a separable Hilbert space, possibly infinite dimensional. Let $\St(p,V)$ be the Stiefel manifold of orthonormal frames of $p$ vectors in $V$, and let $\Gr(p,V)$ be the Grassmann manifold of $p$ dimensional subspaces of $V$. We…

A homogeneous Riemannian space $(M= G/H,g)$ is called a geodesic orbit space (shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group $G$. We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give some…

This paper, the second of a series, deals with the function space of all smooth K\"ahler metrics in any given closed complex manifold $M$ in a fixed cohomology class. The previous result of the second author \cite{chen991} showed that the…

We show that, on a complete and possibly non-compact Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 2 without close conjugate points at infinity, the existence of a closed geodesic with local homology in maximal degree and maximal index growth…

Let M be either a simply connected pseudo-Riemannian space of constant curvature or a rank one Riemannian symmetric space (other than the octonion hyperbolic plane), and consider the space L(M) of oriented geodesics of M. The space L(M) is…

The main result is that for a connected hyperbolic complete K\"ahler manifold with bounded geometry of order two and exactly one end, either the first compactly supported cohomology with values in the structure sheaf vanishes or the…

We prove that any two Kahler potentials on a compact Kahler manifold can be connected by a geodesic segment of C^{1,1} regularity. This follows from an a priori interior real Hessian bound for solutions of the nondegenerate complex…

We study the existence of closed geodesics on compact Riemannian orbifolds, and on noncompact Riemannian manifolds in the presence of a cocompact, isometric group action. We show that every noncontractible Riemannian manifold which admits…

We prove that the loop space of a K\"ahler manifold inherits a K\"ahler structure. Then we prove that equipped with this natural metric the loop space is complete and unbounded. Additionally, we show that a geodesic on the loop space can be…

A smooth curve on a homogeneous manifold $G/H$ is called a Riemannian equigeo-desic if it is a homogeneous geodesic for any $G$-invariant Riemannian metric. The homogeneous manifold $G/H$ is called Riemannian equigeodesic, if for any $x\in…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

A homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K, g)$ is called a space with homogeneous geodesics or a $G$-g.o. space if every geodesic $\gamma (t)$ of $M$ is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of $G$, that is $\gamma(t) = \exp(tX)\cdot o$, for…

In this paper, we establish a sufficient condition for a geodesic in a Riemannian manifold to be homogeneous, i.e. an orbit of an $1$-parameter isometry group. As an application of this result, we provide a new proof of the fact that every…
