In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral function corresponding to the lower part of the spectrum of the Kodaira Laplacian on high tensor powers of a holomorphic line bundle. This implies a full asymptotic expansion of this function on the set where the curvature of the line bundle is non-degenerate. As application we obtain the Bergman kernel asymptotics for adjoint semi-positive line bundles over complete K\"ahler manifolds, on the set where the curvature is positive. We also prove the asymptotics for big line bundles endowed with singular Hermitian metrics with strictly positive curvature current. In this case the full asymptotics holds outside the singular locus of the metric.

In the moduli space $$ \mathcal{M} $$ _{$g$}of genus-$g$Riemann surfaces, consider the locus $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ of Riemann surfaces whose Jacobians have real multiplication by the order $$ \mathcal{O} $$ in a totally real number field$F$of degree$g$. If$g$= 3, we compute the closure of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ in the Deligne–Mumford compactification of $$ \mathcal{M} $$ _{$g$}and the closure of the locus of eigenforms over $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ in the Deligne–Mumford compactification of the moduli space of holomorphic 1-forms. For higher genera, we give strong necessary conditions for a stable curve to be in the boundary of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ . Boundary strata of $$ \mathcal{R}{\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{O}}} $$ are parameterized by configurations of elements of the field$F$satisfying a strong geometry of numbers type restriction.

Let $(\hat X,T^{1,0}\hat X)$ be a compact orientable CR embeddable three dimensional strongly pseudoconvex CR manifold, where $T^{1,0}\hat X$ is a CR structure on $\hat X$. Fix a point $p\in\hat X$ and take a global contact form $\hat\theta$ so that $\hat\theta$ is asymptotically flat near $p$. Then $(\hat X,T^{1,0}\hat X,\hat\theta )$ is a pseudohermitian $3$-manifold. Let $G_p\in C^\infty(\hat X\setminus\set{p})$, $G_p > 0$, with $G_p(x)\sim\vartheta(x,p)^{-2}$ near $p$, where $\vartheta(x,y)$ denotes the natural pseudohermitian distance on $\hat X$. Consider the new pseudohermitian $3$-manifold with a blow-up of contact form $(\hat X\setminus\set{p},T^{1,0}\hat X,G^2_p\hat\theta)$ and let $\Box_{b}$ denote the corresponding Kohn Laplacian on $\hat X\setminus\set{p}$. In this paper, we prove that the weighted Kohn Laplacian $G^2_p\Box_b$ has closed range in $L^2$ with respect to the weighted volume form $G^2_p\hat\theta\wedge d\hat\theta$, and that the associated partial inverse and the Szeg\"{o} projection enjoy some regularity properties near $p$. As an application, we prove the existence of some special functions in the kernel of $\Box_{b}$ that grow at a specific rate at $p$. The existence of such functions provides an important ingredient for the proof of a positive mass theorem in 3-dimensional CR geometry by Cheng-Malchiodi-Yang \cite{CMY}.

In this paper, we prove that if a compact Kähler manifold X has a smooth Hermitian metric ω such that (T_X,ω) is uniformly RC-positive, then X is projective and rationally connected. Conversely, we show that, if a projective manifold X is rationally connected, then there exists a uniformly RC-positive complex Finsler metric on T_X .
