We show that the dynamics of automorphisms on all projective complex manifolds X (of dimension 3, or of any dimension but assuming the Good Minimal Model Program or Mori’s Program) are canonically built up from the dynamics on just three types of projective complex manifolds: complex tori, weak Calabi-Yau manifolds and rationally connected manifolds. As a by-product, we confirm the conjecture of Guedj [20] for automorphisms on 3-dimensional projective manifolds, and also determine π1(X).

We state and prove a long-elusive relation between genus-one Gromov-Witten of a complete intersection and twisted Gromov Witten invariants of the ambient projective space. As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component M 0 1,k(Pn, d) of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into Pn have a well-defined euler class. In this paper, we extend this result to moduli spaces of perturbed, in a restricted way, J-holomorphic maps. This extension is used to show that these cones are the correct genus-one analogues of the vector bundles relating genuszero Gromov-Witten invariants of a complete intersection to those of the ambient projective space. A relationship for higher-genus invariants is conjectured as well.

In \cite{rigidity}, Luo introduced a $\psi_{\lambda}$ edge invariant which turns out to be a coordinate of the Teichm\"uller space of a surface with boundary. And he proved that for $\lambda \geq 0$, the image of the Teichm\"uller space under $\psi_{\lambda}$ edge invariant coordinate is an open cell. In this paper we verify his conjecture that for $\lambda<0$, the image of the Teichm\"uller space is a bounded convex polytope.
