Title:On Ilmanen's multiplicity-one conjecture for mean curvature flow
Abstract:In this talk, we show that if the mean curvature of a closed smooth embedded mean curvature flow in is of type-I, then the rescaled flow at the first finite singular time converges smoothly to a self-shrinker flow with multiplicity one. This result confirms Ilmanen's multiplicity-one conjecture under the assumption that the mean curvature is of type-I. As a corollary, we show that the mean curvature at the first singular time of a closed smooth embedded mean curvature flow in is at least of type-I. This is joint work with Bing Wang.

Title:Mean curvature flow with multiplicity 2 convergence
Abstract:Mean curvature flow (MCF) has been widely studied in recent decades, and higher multiplicity convergence is an important topic in the study of MCF. In this talk, we present two examples of immortal MCF in $R^3$ and $S^n \times [-1,1]$, which converge to a plane and a sphere $S^n$ with multiplicity 2, respectively. Additionally, we will compare our example with some recent developments on the multiplicity one conjecture and the min-max theory. This is based on joint work with Ao Sun.

Title:Twisted S^1 stability and positive scalar curvature obstruction on fiber bundles
Abstract:In 2006, Rosenberg made the S^1 stability conjecture, which states that for a compact manifold, the property of admitting no positive scalar curvature (PSC) metric is always preserved when multiplying S^1. In this talk, we will first review classical results and recent developments about PSC. Then we will investigate a twisted version of the above S^1 stability conjecture, as well as more generalized problem of the interaction between PSC obstruction on fiber and the total space of a fiber bundle.

Abstract:In this talk, we will discuss the isoperimetry for asymptotically flat 3-manifolds with positive mass in large scale. We will show that for such manifolds each leaf of the canonical foliation is the unique isoperimetric surface for the volume it encloses. Our proof is based on "fill-in" argument and sharp isoperimetric inequality on asymptotically flat 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature.

Title:Classification results for Hermitian non-Kahler gravitational instantons
Abstract:We will discuss some classification results for Hermitian non-Kähler gravitational instantons. There are three main results: (1) Non-existence of certain Hermitian non-Kähler ALE gravitational instantons. (2) Complete classification for Hermitian non-Kähler ALF/AF gravitational instantons. (3) Non-existence of Hermitian non-Kähler gravitational instantons under suitable curvature decay condition, when there is more collapsing at infinity (ALG, ALH, etc.). These are achieved by a thorough analysis of the collapsing geometry at infinity and compactifications.

Title:Scalar curvature rigidity and Llraull's theorem
Abstract:Llraull's theorem yields that one cannot increase the scalar curvature and the metric of the standard sphere simultaneously. Gromov conjectures this scalar curvature rigidity for incomplete metrics on spheres with two antipital points removed, and more generally warped product metrics. In this talk, I will present our proof of Gromov's conjecture under an extra condition using Dirac operator method, and a counterexample to Gromov's original statement. I will also give a brief introduction to the mu-bubble approach to this problem in dimension four. The talk is based on joint works with Simone Cecchini, Zhizhang Xie, and Bo Zhu.

Title:Recent results on bubbling analysis for approximate Harmonic maps and H-surfaces
Abstract:Compactness type results are crucial in the exploration of variational problems in both geometry and physics, as they provide a thorough understanding of the solutions’ behavior and the spaces they inhabit. A captivating example of this is the examination of the asymptotic behavior for sequences of approximate harmonic maps. This extends to a more general context, that is, for approximate surfaces with prescribed mean curvature, which are also called H-surfaces for simplicity. In this talk, we will discuss some recent progresses on the asymptotic and qualitative behavior of these entities.

Title:On a fully nonlinear elliptic equation with differential forms
Abstract:We introduce a fully nonlinear PDE on Kahler manifolds with a differential form \Lambda. Such PDE unifies several important equations in complex geometry including Monge-Ampère equation, J-equation, and the deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills (dHYM) equation. Based on G.Chen's breakthrough on J-equation and dHYM equation, we prove analytical and algebraic criterions for the solvability of the equation, assuming certain positivity conditions on \Lambda. As an application of our results, we prove the conjecture of Collins-Jacob-Yau for the dHYM equation with small global phase. It is a joint work with Professor Hao Fang.

Abstract:In this talk, we will consider a conformal metric $g=u^{\frac{4}{n-2m}}|dx|^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 2m+1$. We show that if the higher order Q-curvature $Q^{(2m)}_g$ is positive with slow decay near infinity, the lower order Q-curvature $Q^{(2)}_g$ and $Q^{(4)}_g$ are both positive if $m$ is at least two.

Title:Rigidity of Area Non-Increasing Maps
Abstract:In this talk, we discuss the approach of Mean Curvature Flow to demonstrate that area non-increasing maps between certain positively curved closed manifolds are rigid. Specifically, this implies that an area non-increasing self-map of $CP^n$, $n \geq 2$, is either homotopically trivial or is an isometry, answering a question by Tsai-Tsui-Wang. Moreover, by coupling the Mean Curvature Flow for the graph of a map with Ricci Flows for the domain and the target, we can also study the rigidity of area non-increasing maps from closed manifolds with positive 1-isotropic curvature (PIC1) to closed Einstein manifolds, where Prof. Brendle’s PIC1 Sphere Theorem is applied. The key to studying the rigidity of area non-increasing maps under various curvature conditions lies in the application of the Strong Maximum Principle along the MCF/MCF-RF. We will focus our attention on one particular case to illustrate the SMP argument. This is a joint work with Professor Man-Chun Lee and Professor Luen-Fai Tam from CUHK.

Title:No semistability at infinity for Calabi-Yau metrics asymptotic to cones
Abstract:We proved a "no semistability at infinity" result for complete Calabi-Yau metrics asymptotic to cones, by eliminating the possible appearance of an intermediate K-semistable cone in Donaldson-Sun's 2-step degeneration theory. As a consequence, we establish a polynomial convergence rate result and a classification result for complete Calabi-Yau manifolds with Euclidean volume growth and quadratic curvature decay. This is based on joint work with Song Sun.

Title:Riemannian and Kahler flying wing steady Ricci solitons
Abstract:Steady Ricci solitons are fundamental objects inthe study of Ricci flow, as they are self-similar solutions and often arise assingularity models. Classical examples of steady solitons are the most symmetric ones, such as the 2D cigar soliton, the O(n)-invariant Bryant solitons, and Cao’s U(n)-invariant Kahler steady solitons. Recently we constructed a family of flying wing steady solitons in any real dimension n\geq 3, which confirmed a conjecture by Hamilton in n=3. In dimension 3, we showed allsteady gradient solitons are O(2)-symmetric. In the Kahler case, we also construct a family of Kahler flying wing steady gradient solitons with positive curvature for any complex dimension n\geq 2, which answers a conjecture by H.-D.Cao in the negative. This is partly collaborated with Pak-Yeung Chan and Ronan Conlon.

Title:Optimal rigidity estimates of varifolds almost minimizing the Willmore energy
Abstract:In this presentation, we talk about the stability of the Willmore functional. For an integral 2-varifold $V=\underline{v}(\Sigma,\theta)$ in $R^n$ with square integrable generalized mean curvature andfinite mass. If its Willmore energy is smaller thant $4\pi(1+\delta^2)$ and the mass is normalized to be $4\pi$, we show that $\Sigma$ is $W^{2,2}$ and bi-Lipschitz close to the round sphere in a quantitative way when $\delta<\delta_0\ll1$. For $n=3$, we show the sharp constant is $\delta_0^2=2\pi$. This is a joint work with Dr. Yuchen Bi.

Title:Relative aspherical conjecture and higher codimensional obstruction to positive scalar curvature
Abstract:Motivated by the solution of the aspherical conjecture up to dimension 5 by Chodosh-Li and Gromov, we introduce a relative version of the aspherical conjecture. More precisely, we seek to explore the impact of a codimension k submanifold X on the existence of PSC (Positive Scalar Curvature) of the ambient space Y, under the relative aspherical condition that \pi_i(Y,X)=0, 2\leq I\leq k. The formulation of the conjecture genralizes the aspherical conjecture and Rosenberg S^1 stability conjecture into a single framework, and is closely related to codim 2 obstruction results by Hanke-Pape-Schick and Cecchini-Rade-Zeidler. In codim 3 and 4, we show how 3-manifold obstructs the existence of PSC under our relative aspherical condition, the proof of which relies on a newly introduced geometric quantity called the spherical width. These results could be regarded as a relative version extension of the aspherical conjecture up to dim 5.

Title:The Gross--Siebert program and non-archimedean SYZ fibrations
Abstract:For a maximally degenerate Calabi--Yau variety, the Berkovich retraction associated with a (good) minimal dlt model is regarded as an SYZ fibration in non-archimedean geometry. In general, the integral affine structure induced on the base space of the fibration differs from the one defined for the dual intersection complex of a toric degeneration in the Gross--Siebert program. In this talk, using tropical geometry, we construct non-archimedean SYZ fibrations whose bases are integral affine manifolds appearing in the Gross--Siebert program for Calabi--Yau complete intersections of Batyrev--Borisov.

Title:A gluing construction of constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics of Poincaré type
Abstract:In this talk, we construct new examples of constant scalar curvature Kähler(cscK) metrics of Poincaré type from existing cscK ones. The construction is obtained via gluing a cscK metric on a compact Kähler manifold to a complete scalar-flat Kähler metric of Poincaré type on the complex space removing the origin. Assuming the compact Kähler manifold has no non-trivial holomorphic vector field, we prove the existence of cscK metrics of Poincaré type on this compact manifold removing finitely many points.

Title:Steady Ricci soliton with nonnegative curvature away from a compact set
Abstract:In this talk, we analysis the blow-down solutions for $n$-dimensional $(n\ge 4)$ noncompact $\kappa$-noncollapsed steady gradient Ricci solitons $(M, g)$ with $\rm{Rm}\geq 0$ and ${\rm Ric}>0$ away from a compact set of $M$. As one of main results, we classified the $(n-1)$-dimensional compact split limit ancient Ricci flows. Consequently, we prove that $(M,g)$ with $\rm{Rm}\geq 0$ must be isometric to the Bryant Ricci soliton up to scaling, if there exists a sequence of normally rescaled Ricci flows of $(M,g)$, which converges subsequently to a family of shrinking quotient cylinders. The later improves a previous result of Brendle. This is a joint work with Xiaohua Zhu.

Title:Optimal Degenerations of K-unstable Fano Threefolds
Abstract:In this talk, we will propose a question of how to explicitly determine the optimal degenerations of the K-unstable Fano manifolds as predicted by the Hamilton-Tian conjecture. We answer this question for a family of K-unstable Fano threefolds (No 2.23 in Mori-Mukai's list), which has discrete automorphism groups and the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow develops Type II singularity. Our approach is based on a new method to check weighted K-stability, which generalizes Abban-Zhuang's theory to give an estimate of the weighted delta invariant by dimension induction. Some speculative relations between the delta invariant and the H invariant will also be discussed. This is based on a joint work with Linsheng Wang.

Abstract:K-stability of log Fano cone singularities was introduced by Collins-Sz\' ekelyhidi to serve as a local analog of K-stability of Fano varieties. In the Fano case, the result of Li-Xu states that to test K-stability, it suffices to test the so-called special test configurations. In this talk, I will talk about a local version of this result for log Fano cones. Our method relies on a non-Archimedean characterization of local K-stability. This is joint work with Yuchen Liu.

Abstract:Let X be a smooth complex manifold. Assume that Y ⊂ X is a Kahler submanifold such that X \ Y is biholomorphic to C^n. We prove that (X, Y ) is biholomorphic to (P^n, P^{n−1}). We also study certain Kahler orbifold compactifications of C^n and, as an application, prove that on C^3 the flat metric is the only asymptotically conical Ricci-flat Kahler metric whose metric cone at infinity has a smooth link. As a key technical ingredient, a new formula for minimal discrepancy of isolated Fano cone singularities in terms of generalized Conley-Zehnder indices in symplectic geometry is derived.

Abstract:We consider the problem of recovering the nonlinearity in a nonlinear Schrödinger equation from scattering data, a problem for which there is a relatively large literature. We consider a new situation in which the equation does not admit standard scattering, but instead features the modified scattering behavior with logarithmic phase correction. We prove that even in this case, the modified scattering data suffices to determine the unknown nonlinearity. This is a joint work with J. Murphy (Oregon).
