The Kähler-Ricci mean curvature flow of a strictly area decreasing map Between Riemann Surfaces

Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a product of compact Riemann surfaces [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], i.e. [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a graph in [Formula: see text] of a strictly area dereasing map [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] evolve along the Kähler–Ricci flow, and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] evolve along the mean curvature flow. We show that [Formula: see text] remains to be a graph of a strictly area decreasing map along the Kähler–Ricci mean curvature flow and exists for all time. In the positive scalar curvature case, we prove the convergence of the flow and the curvature decay along the flow at infinity.

Ricci curvature decay and upper bound of total mass

We obtain a positive upper bound of total mass from a relative volume comparison by a weighted integral norm of Ricci curvature.

Gravitational instantons with faster than quadratic curvature decay (II)

This is our second paper in a series to study gravitational instantons, i.e. complete hyperkähler 4-manifolds with faster than quadratic curvature decay. We prove two main theorems: (i) The asymptotic rate of gravitational instantons to the standard models can be improved automatically. (ii) Any ALF-D_{k} gravitational instanton must be the Cherkis–Hitchin–Ivanov–Kapustin–Lindström–Roček metric.

On Manifolds with Lower Quadratic Curvature Decay and Volume Pinching

We give some conditions for a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with lower quadratic curvature decay to have finite topological type. Most of our curvature conditions are much weaker than the assumptions in Lott [5] and in Sha–Shen [10], hence our results can be viewed as natural generalizations of those works.
