Let f : X .仺 Y be a holomorphic map of complex manifolds, which is proper, K丯ahler, and surjective with connected fibers, and which is smooth over Y \ Z the complement of an analytic subset Z. Let E be a Nakano semi-positive vector bundle on X. In our previous paper, we discussed the Nakano semi-positivity of Rqf(KX/Y . E) for q . 0 with respect to the so-called Hodge metric, when the map f is smooth. Here we discuss the extension of the induced metric on the tautological line bundle O(1) on the projective space bundle P(Rqf(KX/Y . E)) 乬over Y \ Z乭 as a singular Hermitian metric with semi-positive curvature 乬over Y 乭. As a particular consequence, if Y is projective, Rqf(KX/Y . E) is weakly positive over Y \ Z in the sense of Viehweg.

Motivated by the study of collapsing Calabi–Yau 3-folds with a Lefschetz K3 fibration, we construct a complete Calabi–Yau metric on C3 with maximal volume growth, which in the appropriate scale is expected to model the collapsing metric near the nodal point. This new Calabi–Yau metric has singular tangent cone at infinity C2/Z2×C, and its Riemannian geometry has certain non-standard features near the singularity of the tangent cone, which are more typical of adiabatic limit problems. The proof uses an existence result in H-J. Hein’s Ph.D. thesis to perturb an asymptotic approximate solution into an actual solution, and the main difficulty lies in correcting the slowly decaying error terms.

An n dimensional minimal submanifold $\sum$  of $R^{n+m}$ is called nonparametric if $\sum$  can be represented as the graph of a vector-valued function $f : D \subset \mathbb{ R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. This note provides a sufficient condition for the stability of such $\sum$ in terms of the norm of the differential $df$.

In this paper we prove a monotonicity formula for the integral of the mean curvature for complete and proper hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space and, as consequences, we obtain a lower bound for the integral of the mean curvature and that the integral of the mean curvature is infinity.
