This paper investigates the twisted Calabi functional and the associated twisted Calabi flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main contributions are threefold: first, we establish the convexity of the twisted Calabi functional at its…

We show that scalar curvature lower bounds are preserved under certain weak convergence of smooth three manifolds to a smooth limit. More precisely, suppose that $M_k$ and $M$ are smooth, closed, Riemannian three manifolds. Assume that…

We give estimates for the $L^p$ norm ($2\leq p \leq +\infty$) of the restriction to a curve of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace Beltrami operator on a Riemannian surface. If the curve is a geodesic, we show that on the sphere these…

Based on a well known Sh.-T. Yau theorem we obtain that the real part of a holomorphic function on a K\"{a}hler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded from below by $-1$ is contractive with respect to the distance on the manifold and the…

We prove existence of extremal functions for some Rellich-Sobolev type inequalities involving the $L^{2}$ norm of the Laplacian as a leading term and the $L^{2}$ norm of the gradient, weighted with a Hardy potential. Moreover we exhibit a…

Motivated by the picture of mirror symmetry suggested by Strominger, Yau and Zaslow, we made a conjecture concerning the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of Calabi-Yau n-folds (with Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric) as one approaches a large complex…

We prove a splitting theorem for Riemannian n-manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below by a negative constant and containing certain area-minimising hypersurfaces (Theorem 3). Thus we generalise [25,Theorem 3] by Nunes. This splitting…

We prove a laplacian comparison theorem in the barrier sense for the function distance to the boundary of Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature, area and mean curvature of the boundary bounded above. As an application we get…

We consider a gauge-invariant Ginzburg-Landau functional (also known as Abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs model) on Hermitian line bundles over closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 3$. Assuming a logarithmic energy bound in the coupling…

In this paper we extend to non-compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary the use of two important tools in the geometric analysis of compact spaces, namely, the weak maximum principle for subharmonic functions and the integration by parts.…

Let $M$ be an $m (\ge2)$-dimensional closed orientable submanifold in an $n$-dimensional complete simply-connected Riemannian manifold $N$, where the sectional curvature of $N$ is bounded above by $\delta$. When $\delta<0$, inspired by…

We consider complete non-compact manifolds with either a sub-quadratic growth of the norm of the Riemann curvature, or a sub-quadratic growth of both the norm of the Ricci curvature and the squared inverse of the injectivity radius. We show…

This note is a summary of our work [OO] which provides an explicit and global moduli-theoretic framework for the collapsing of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics and we use it to study especially the K3 surfaces case. For instance, it allows us to…

In this paper, we study the degeneration and stability of K\"ahler structures on Calabi--Yau manifolds, namely compact K\"ahler manifolds with trivial canonical bundles, from the viewpoint of deformation theory and Hodge theory. Using the…

We prove a couple of new endpoint geodesic restriction estimates for eigenfunctions. In the case of general 3-dimensional compact manifolds, after a $TT^*$ argument, simply by using the $L^2$-boundedness of the Hilbert transform on $\R$, we…

We give two results about Harnack type inequalities. First, on compact smooth Riemannian surface without boundary, we have an estimate of the type $\sup +\inf$. The second result concerns the solutions of prescribed scalar curvature…

This is a r\'esum\'e of an extensive investigation of some examples in which one obtains the rigid limit of N=2 supergravity by means of an expansion around singular points in the moduli space of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. We make extensive use…

We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…

We identify a set of "energy" functionals on the space of metrics in a given Kaehler class on a Calabi-Yau manifold, which are bounded below and minimized uniquely on the Ricci-flat metric in that class. Using these functionals, we recast…

We give an optimal estimate for the norm of any submanifold's second fundamental form in terms of its focal radius and the lower sectional curvature bound of the ambient manifold. This is a special case of a similar theorem for intermediate…
