The PI plans to investigate projects in three areas, related by the theme of the complex Monge-Ampere equation. The first project will build on the PI's work with Tosatti which gave an analogue of Yau's Theorem for compact Hermitian manifolds. The PI proposes to generalize these estimates and apply them to obtain new results on the Bott-Chern space of a complex manifold. The second project deals with the Kahler-Ricci flow - which can be regarded as the parabolic complex Monge-Ampere equation - on algebraic varieties. As part of a program to understand the analytic minimal model program, the PI and Song investigated the Kahler-Ricci flow on algebraic varieties and gave necessary conditions under which the flow contracts an exceptional divisor. The PI proposes to extend these results to deal with more general singularities and also to study the behavior of the curvature tensor along the Kahler-Ricci flow. The final project concerns the Calabi-Yau equation on symplectic manifolds. Donaldson conjectured that the complex Monge-Ampere equation solved by Yau has an analogue for symplectic 4-manifolds with compatible almost complex structures.He gave applications of his conjecture to symplectic topology. Special cases of Donaldson's conjecture were established by the PI and his co-authors. The PI will undertake an analysis of the structure of the blow-up set for the Calabi-Yau equation, with the ultimate goal of proving Donaldson's conjecture.An important problem in mathematics, and physics, is to understand the interaction between geometry and differential equations. This proposal concerns a well-known and centuries-old mathematical object called the Monge-Ampere equation. This equation arises naturally in the study of geometry and is closely related to Einstein's equations in physics. A main goal of this project is to find applications of the Monge-Ampere equation to more general and commonly occuring geometric objects where it was not previously known that a connection exists. By finding new relationships between this classical differential equation and geometry, the PI aims to further our understanding of what kind of geometric structures can exist. In addition, the Monge-Ampere equation is deeply related to geometry via an associated heat flow. It is expected that this heat flow will help us understand some old and difficult problems concerning solutions to algebraic equations. Indeed, the solutions of algebraic equations define geometric objects, and the heat flow deforms these objects and can extract information from them. The PI will investigate the precise behavior of the Monge-Ampere heat flow on such geometric objects.

PI计划调查三个领域的项目，这些项目与复杂的Monge-Ampere方程的主题有关。 第一个项目将建立在PI的工作与Tosatti这给了一个类似的丘的定理紧凑厄米流形。 PI建议推广这些估计，并将其应用于复杂流形的Bott-Chern空间上获得新的结果。 第二个项目涉及Kahler-Ricci流-它可以被视为抛物型复Monge-Ampere方程-代数簇。 作为一个程序的一部分，以了解分析最小模型程序，PI和宋调查了卡勒-里奇流代数簇，并给出必要条件下，流动合同的一个例外的除数。 PI建议将这些结果扩展到处理更一般的奇点，并研究曲率张量沿着Kahler-Ricci流的行为。 最后一个项目涉及辛流形上的卡-丘方程。 唐纳森指出，复杂的蒙赫-安培方程解决了丘有一个类似的辛4流形兼容几乎复杂的结构。他给应用他的猜想辛拓扑。唐纳森猜想的特殊情况是由PI和他的合著者建立的。 PI将对Calabi-Yau方程的爆破集的结构进行分析，最终目标是证明唐纳森猜想。数学和物理学中的一个重要问题是理解几何和微分方程之间的相互作用。 这个提议涉及一个著名的和有几个世纪历史的数学对象，称为蒙日-安培方程。 这个方程在几何学的研究中自然出现，与爱因斯坦的物理学方程密切相关。 这个项目的一个主要目标是找到应用程序的蒙日安培方程更普遍和常见的几何对象，它是以前不知道的连接存在。 通过发现这个经典微分方程和几何之间的新关系，PI旨在进一步了解什么样的几何结构可以存在。 此外，蒙日-安培方程通过相关的热流与几何形状密切相关。 我们期望，这种热流将帮助我们理解一些古老而困难的问题，解决代数方程。 事实上，代数方程的解定义了几何对象，热流使这些对象变形，并可以从中提取信息。 PI将研究这种几何物体上的Monge-Ampere热流的精确行为。
