On Uniqueness And Existence of Conformally Compact Einstein Metrics with Homogeneous Conformal Infinity

In this paper we show that for a generalized Berger metric $\hat{g}$ on $S^3$ close to the round metric, the conformally compact Einstein (CCE) manifold $(M, g)$ with $(S^3, [\hat{g}])$ as its conformal infinity is unique up to isometries. For the high-dimensional case, we show that if $\hat{g}$ is an $\text{SU}(k+1)$-invariant metric on $S^{2k+1}$ for $k\geq1$, the non-positively curved CCE metric on the $(2k+1)$-ball $B_1(0)$ with $(S^{2k+1}, [\hat{g}])$ as its conformal infinity is unique up to isometries. In particular, since in \cite{LiQingShi}, we proved that if the Yamabe constant of the conformal infinity $Y(S^{2k+1}, [\hat{g}])$ is close to that of the round sphere then any CCE manifold filled in must be negatively curved and simply connected, therefore if $\hat{g}$ is an $\text{SU}(k+1)$-invariant metric on $S^{2k+1}$ which is close to the round metric, the CCE metric filled in is unique up to isometries. Using the continuity method, we prove an existence result of the non-positively curved CCE metric with prescribed conformal infinity $(S^{2k+1}, [\hat{g}])$ when the metric $\hat{g}$ is $\text{SU}(k+1)$-invariant.Comment: Comments are welcome

Measuring the ratio of HWWHWW and HZZHZZ couplings through W+W−HW^+W^-H production

For a generic Higgs boson, measuring the relative sign and magnitude of its couplings with the $W$ and $Z$ bosons is essential in determining its origin. Such a test is also indispensable for the 125-GeV Higgs boson. We propose that the ratio of the $HWW$ and $HZZ$ couplings $\lambda_{WZ}$ can be directly determined through the $W^+W^-H$ production, where $H$ denotes a generic Higgs boson, owing to the tree-level interference effect. While this is impractical at the LHC due to the limited sensitivity, it can be done at future $e^+e^-$ colliders, such as a 500-GeV ILC with the beam polarization $P(e^-,e^+)=(-0.8,+0.3)$ in the $jj\ell^{\pm}bb$ and $\ell^{\pm}\ell^{\pm}\ell^{\mp}jj$ channels. The discovery potential of a general ratio and the power to discriminate it from the SM value are studied in detail. Combining the cross section of $e^+e^-\to W^+ W^- H$ with the measurements of $HZZ$ coupling at the HL-LHC, one can further improve the sensitivity of $\lambda_{WZ}$.Comment: 24 pages, 10 figures, 2 table

Virtual moduli cycles and Gromov-Witten invariants of algebraic varieties

We introduce a method of constructing the virtual cycle of any scheme associated with a tangent-obstruction complex. We apply this method to constructing the virtual moduli cycle of the moduli of stable maps from n-pointed genus g curves to any smooth projective variety. As an application, we give an algebraic definition of GW-invariants for any smooth projective variety.Comment: 68 pages, Amstex. Revised version. It appeared in J. of Amer. Math. Soc. Jan 9
