    In this paper, we give a survey of the recent develpoments of the DDVV conjecture

    On the Geometry of Classifying Spaces and Horizontal Slices

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the local properties of the moduli space of a polarized Calabi-Yau manifold. Let UU be a neighborhood of the moduli space. Then we know the universal covering space VV of UU is a smooth manifold. Suppose DD is the classifying space of a polarized Calabi-Yau manifold with the automorphism group GG. Let D1D_1 be the symmetric space associated with GG. Then we proved that the map from VV to D1D_1 induced by the period map is a pluriharmonic map. We also give a Kahler metric on VV, which is called the Hodge metric. We proved that the Ricci curvature of the Hodge metric is negative away from zero. We also proved the non-existence of the K\"ahler metric on the classifying space of a Calabi-Yau threefold which is invariant under a cocompact lattice of GG

    On the Hodge Metric of the Universal Deformation Space of Calabi-Yau Threefolds

    Full text link
    In this paper, we represent the Hodge metric in terms of the Weil-Petersson metric and its Ricci curvature on the moduli spaces of polarized Calabi-Yau threefolds

    Remarks on the Bottcher-Wenzel Inequality

    Full text link
    In 2005, B\"ottcher and Wenzel raised the conjecture that if X,YX,Y are real square matrices, then ∣∣XYβˆ’YX∣∣2≀2∣∣X∣∣2∣∣Y∣∣2||XY-YX||^2\leq 2||X||^2||Y||^2, where βˆ£βˆ£β‹…βˆ£βˆ£||\cdot|| is the Frobenius norm. Various proofs of this conjecture were found in the last few years by several authors. We here give another proof. This proof is highly conceptual and requires minimal computation. We also briefly discuss related inequalities, in particular, the classical Chern-do Camo-Kobayashi inequality.Comment: Journal reference adde

    On the Lower Order Terms of the Asymptotic Expansion of Zelditch

    Full text link
    In this paper, we computed the first three coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of Zelditch. We also proved that in general, the kk-th coefficient is a polynomial of the curvature and its derivative of weight kk.Comment: 34 page

    A Note on Special Kahler Manifolds

    Full text link
    We proved a conjecture of D. Freed that there are no non-trivial complete special Kaehler manifolds.Comment: 3 page

    Full text link
    In this paper, we proved the normal scalar curvature conjecture and the Bottcher-Wenzel conjecture

    Gradient estimates of the Yukawa coupling

    Full text link
    The paper is related to the classification of special manifolds and projective special manifolds. One of the result of this paper is that, if the Weil-Petersson metric on a projective special manifold is complete, then the Hodge metrc and the Weil-Petersson metrc are equivalent

    K Energy and K stability on Hypersurfaces

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the limiting properties of the KK energy for smooth hypersurfaces in the projective spaces. Our result generalizes the result of Ding-Tian (W. Ding and G. Tian. K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and the generalized Futaki invariant. {\em Invent Math}, 110:315-335, 1992.) in the case of hypersurfaces. In particular, we allow the center fiber of a special degeneration (a degeneration by a one-parameter group) to have multiplicity great than 1
