Abstract

Let $(L,e^{-\phi})$ be a positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a compact Riemann surface $X$, and let $\omega=i\partial\overline\partial\phi$. We obtain explicit pointwise estimates for the Bergman form of the tensor power $mL$. If $\mathrm{Ric}\omega\leq\omega$ and the shortest nonconstant closed geodesic has length at least $2\pi$, then \[ K_{m\phi}\geq \frac{2m-1}{4\pi}\,\omega, \] with sharpness holding for $(\mathbb P^1,\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(2))$. We also obtain a local version, depending on an upper curvature bound and the injectivity radius, which recovers the first two terms of the Bergman expansion when the curvature is constant. Under the two-sided bound $-\omega\leq\mathrm{Ric}\omega\leq\omega$ and the same closed-geodesic hypothesis, we also prove \[ K_{m\phi}\leq \frac{m\omega}{2\pi} \left(1+\frac{54.8\log(2m)}{m-\frac{1}2}\right). \] The lower estimates use the deformation to the tangent space version of the Ohsawa--Takegoshi theorem established by He, Wang, and the author, whereas the upper bound is obtained by observing the submean inequality with quantitative isothermal coordinates that were obtained in recent work by Eilat.

On the Classification of Stein spaces with Bergman-Einstein metrics

For every $N\ge 2$, we prove that the Bergman metric on the regular locus of a finite ball quotient $\mathbb{B}^N/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{U}(N)$ is finite and fixed-point-free, is K\"ahler-Einstein if and only if $\Gamma$ is trivial. Consequently, if $\Omega$ is an $N$-dimensional normal Stein space with isolated singularities and compact, smooth, strongly pseudoconvex boundary admitting a real-algebraic CR realization, then the Bergman metric on $\Omega_{\mathrm{reg}}$ is K\"ahler-Einstein if and only if $\Omega$ is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{B}^N$. This proves an algebraic version of the Cheng-Huang-Xiao conjecture in every complex dimension $N\ge 2$.

Compact Toeplitz operators via the Berezin transform on radial weighted Bergman spaces

Let $\omega$ be a radial $\widehat{\mathcal D}$-weight and $u$ be a bounded function on the unit disk $\mathbb D$. We prove that the Toeplitz operator \(T_{\omega,u}\) is compact on \(A_\omega^2\) if and only if its Berezin transform vanishes at the boundary. Our approach is based on a polynomial frame for $A_\omega^2$ and a detailed localization analysis of the resulting infinite matrix representation of $T_{\omega,u}$. Even in the unweighted Bergman space \(A^2\), our argument is new and does not rely on the classical translation operators. We further show that this Axler--Zheng compactness characterization does not extend, in general, to products of Toeplitz operators on \(\widehat{\mathcal D}\)-weighted Bergman spaces, and hence to the corresponding Toeplitz algebra generated by bounded symbols. More precisely, we construct a radial log-subharmonic \(\widehat{\mathcal D}\)-weight \(\omega\) and bounded symbols \(u,v\) such that the product \(T_{\omega,v}T_{\omega,u}\) is noncompact, whereas its Berezin transform vanishes at the boundary.

Spaces of metrics with positive spectral scalar curvature

Let $n\geq2$ and let $M^n$ be a closed connected smooth manifold. Let $R^\gamma(M)$ be the space of smooth Riemannian metrics $g$ on $M$ for which the generalized conformal Laplace operator $-\gamma\Delta_g+\mathrm{R}_g$ is strictly positive. We prove that if $n=2$ and $\gamma>0$, or if $n\ge3$ and $0<\gamma \leq 4(n-1)/(n-2)$, the inclusion $R^0(M)\hookrightarrow R^\gamma(M)$ is a homotopy equivalence, thus generalizing, to all dimensions and in the maximal range, the results of Botvinnik--Rosenberg and Li--Mantoulidis. Then, we prove that if $n\ge3$ and $\gamma>4(n-1)/(n-2)$, the space $R^\gamma(M)$ is contractible, and hence nonempty. This solves a homotopy-theoretic strengthening of a conjecture of Gromov (Conjecture 3, Section 6.1.2,"Four Lectures on Scalar Curvature") in the maximal possible coefficient range. Concerning Gromov's conjecture we also treat the equivariant case and the case of manifolds with boundary.

Interior Curvature Estimates of Semi-convex Solutions for the scalar curvature equation with Lipschitz Right-Hand Sides

In this paper, let $u\in C^4(B_{10})$ with $D^2u\geq -KI$ define a $2$-admissible graph $M=\{(x,u(x)):x\in B_{10}\}\subset\R^{n+1}$ satisfying \[ \sigma_2(\kappa[u])=f(x). \] We prove an interior curvature estimate depending on the Lipschitz norm of the right-hand sides. The proof combines a shifted Jacobi inequality for \(b=\log(H+J_0)\), a parallel hypersurface transformation that makes the Newton tensor uniformly elliptic and local boundedness estimate then reduces the pointwise bound to a weighted $L^1$ estimate, which is completed using the Jacobi energy inequality and integration by parts.

The determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a surface with boundary and periods of holomorphic differentials on its double

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth orientable $2d$ Riemannian manifold of genus $\mathfrak{g}$ with Riemannian metric $g$ and connected boundary $\Gamma$. Let $\Lambda$ be the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on $\Gamma$ and let ${\rm det}_\zeta(\Lambda)$ be its (modified, i. e. with zero mode excluded) $\zeta$-regularized determinant. It is well-known that the quantity ${\rm det}_\zeta(\Lambda)/|\Gamma|$ (where $|\Gamma|$ is the length of $\Gamma$) is a conformal invariant. It was shown by Edward and Wu (\cite{EV}) that this invariant equals one for $\mathfrak{g}=0$; in the case $\mathfrak{g}>0$ Guillarmou and Guillop\'e \cite{Guillarmou} found two explicit expressions for this invariant through the Rouelle and (respectively) the Selberg zeta-functions of the two surfaces of negative constant curvature from the conformal class of $(M,g)$: one is of infinite volume and complete whereas another has geodesic boundary. We present an elementary counterpart of the formulae of Guillarmou and Guillop\'e using the periods of holomorphic differentials on the double $2M$ of $M$ only. Our approach is based on the properties of the Hilbert transform of $M$ \cite{B,HilbKor} and the Kontsevich-Vishik-Friedlander-Guillemin regularization of the determinants of pseudodifferenial operators \cite{KV,Ww,F}. In particular, a connection between the length spectra of (uniformized) $M$, $2M$ and the periods of holomorphic differentials on $2M$ is established.

Regularity results for elliptic equations on cones

We study global regularity of solutions to Dirichlet or Neumann elliptic problems in spherical sectors $S_{D,R}$ of radius $R>0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N, N\ge 2$, where $D$ is the bounded domain on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$ which spans the spherical sector. One of the main results shows that boundedness of the gradient of the solutions of Poisson equations holds whenever $\lambda_1(D)\ge N-1$, where $\lambda_1(D)$ is the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Laplace Beltrami operator $-\Delta_{\mathbb{S}^{N-1}}$ on the domain $D$ with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on $\partial D$. As an example of Maz'ya shows, the condition on the eigenvalue is sharp. For general spherical sectors and for $p$-Laplacian equations, $p>1$ we prove weighted global lipschitzianity of the solutions, as well as second order regularity.
