Abstract

In this paper, motivated by finding sharp Li-Yau type gradient estimate for positive solution of heat equations on complete Riemannian manifolds with negative Ricci curvature lower bound, we first introduce the notion of Li-Yau multiplier set and show that it can be computed by heat kernel of the manifold. Then, an optimal Li-Yau type gradient estimate is obtained on hyperbolic spaces by using recurrence relations of heat kernels on hyperbolic spaces. Finally, as an application, we obtain sharp Harnack inequalities on hyperbolic spaces.

Strong generalized holomorphic principal bundles

We introduce the notion of a strong generalized holomorphic (SGH) fiber bundle and develop connection and curvature theory for an SGH principal $G$-bundle over a regular generalized complex (GC) manifold, where $G$ is a complex Lie group. We develop a de Rham cohomology for regular GC manifolds, and a Dolbeault cohomology for SGH vector bundles. Moreover, we establish a Chern-Weil theory for SGH principal $G$-bundles under certain mild assumptions on the leaf space of the GC structure. We also present a Hodge theory along with associated dualities and vanishing theorems for SGH vector bundles. Several examples of SGH fiber bundles are given.

Llarull's theorem on odd dimensional manifolds: the noncompact case

Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be an odd dimensional ($\dim M\geq 3$) connected oriented noncompact complete spin Riemannian manifold. Let $k^{TM}$ be the associated scalar curvature. Let $f:M\to S^{\dim M}(1)$ be a smooth area decreasing map which is locally constant near infinity and of nonzero degree. Suppose $k^{TM}\geq ({\dim M})({\dim M}-1)$ on the support of ${\rm d}f$, we show that $\inf(k^{TM})<0$. This answers a question of Gromov.

Asymptotic expansion of the variation of the Quillen metric and its moment map interpretation

In Kähler geometry, the Donaldson--Fujiki moment map picture interprets the scalar curvature of a Kähler metric as a moment map on the space of compatible almost complex structures on a fixed symplectic manifold. In this paper, we generalize this picture using the framework of equivariant determinant line bundles. Given a prequantization $P=(L,h,\nabla)$ of a compact symplectic manifold $(M,ω)$, let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Aut}(P)$. For each $k\in\mathbb{N}$, we construct a $\mathcal{G}$-equivariant determinant line bundle $λ^{(k)}\rightarrow\mathcal{J}_{int}$ on the space of integrable compatible almost complex structures, equipped with the $\mathcal{G}$-invariant Quillen metric. The curvature form of $λ^{(k)}$ admits an asymptotic expansion whose coefficients yield a sequence of $\mathcal{G}$-invariant closed $2$-forms $Ω_j$ on $\mathcal{J}_{int}$ and corresponding moment maps $μ_j:\mathcal{J}_{int}\rightarrow C^\infty(M)$. Each $μ_j$ arises from the asymptotic expansion of the variation of the logarithm of the Quillen metric with respect to Kähler potentials, with the complex structure held fixed. This provides a natural generalization of the Donaldson--Fujiki moment map interpretation of scalar curvature. Moreover, we show that $μ_j$ coincide with the $Z$--critical equations introduced by Dervan--Hallam, and we state a generalization of Fujiki's fiber integral formula.
