We study MA-positivity, a notion of positivity relevant to a vector bundle version of the complex Monge--Amp`ere equation introduced in an earlier work, and show that for rank-two holomorphic bundles over complex surfaces, MA-semi-positive solutions of the vector bundle Monge--Amp`ere (vbMA) equation are also MA-positive. For vector bundles of rank-three and higher, over complex manifolds of dimension greater than one, we show that this positivity-preservation property need not hold for an algebraic solution of the vbMA equation treated as a purely algebraic equation at a given point. Finally, we set up a continuity path for certain classes of highly symmetric rank-two vector bundles over complex three-folds and prove a restricted version of positivity preservation which is nevertheless sufficient to prove openness along this continuity path.

We give a non-Archimedean characterization of K-semistability of log Fano cone singularities, and show that it agrees with the definition originally defined by Collins--Sz'ekelyhidi. As an application, we show that to test K-semistability, it suffices to test special test configurations. We also show that special test configurations give rise to lc places of torus equivariant bounded complements.

Locality is implemented in an arbitrary category using Grothendieck topologies. We explore how different Grothendieck topologies on one category can be related, and, more general, how functors between categories can preserve them. As applications of locality, we review geometric objects such as sheaves, groupoids, functors, bibundles, and anafunctors internal to an arbitrary Grothendieck site. We give definitions such that all these objects are invariant under equivalences of Grothendieck topologies and certain functors between sites. As examples of sites, we look at categories of smooth manifolds, diffeological spaces, topological spaces, and sheaves, and we study properties of various functors between those.

In this work, we obtain estimates for the upper bound of gaps between consecutive eigenvalues for the eigenvalue problem of a class of second-order elliptic differential operators in divergent form, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a limited domain of n-dimensional Euclidean space. This class of operators includes the well-known Laplacian and the square Cheng-Yau operator. For the Laplacian case, our estimate coincides with that obtained by D. Chen, T. Zheng, and H. Yang, which is the best possible in terms of the order of the eigenvalues. For pinched Cartan-Hadamard manifolds the estimates were made in particular cases of this operator.

The main aim of this paper is to simplify and popularise the construction from the 2013 paper by Apostolov, Calderbank, and Gauduchon, which (among other things) derives the Plebanski-Demianski family of solutions of GR using ideas of complex geometry. The starting point of this construction is the observation that the Euclidean versions of these metrics should have two different commuting complex structures, as well as two commuting Killing vector fields. After some linear algebra, this leads to an ansatz for the metrics, which is half-way to their complete determination. Kerr metric is a special 2-parameter subfamily in this class, which makes these considerations directly relevant to Kerr as well. This results in a derivation of the Kerr metric that is self-contained and elementary.

This is a continuation of our previous work (Advances in Mathematics 450 (2024), Paper No. 109768). In this paper, we characterize complete metrics with finite total Q-curvature as normal metrics for all dimensional cases. Secondly, we introduce another volume entropy to provide geometric information regarding complete non-normal metrics with finite total Q-curvature. In particular, we show that if the scalar curvature is bounded from below, the volume growth of such complete metrics is controlled.

In the theory of flat chains with coefficients in a normed abelian group, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition on a group element $g$ in order for the following fundamental regularity principle to hold: if a mass-minimizing chain is, in a ball disjoint from the boundary, sufficiently weakly close to a multiplicity $g$ disk, then, in a smaller ball, it is a $C^{1,alpha}$ perturbation with multiplicity $g$ of that disk.

Given two curves bounding a region of area $A$ that evolve under curve shortening flow, we propose the principle that the regularity of one should be controllable in terms of the regularity of the other, starting from time $A/pi$. We prove several results of this form and demonstrate that no estimate can hold before that time. As an example application, we construct solutions to graphical curve shortening flow starting with initial data that is merely an $L^1$ function.
