For any n-dimensional smooth manifold $\Sigma$, we show that all the singularities of the mean curvature flow with any initial mean convex hypersurface in $\Sigma$ are cylindrical (of convex type) if the flow converges to a smooth hypersurface $M_\infty$ (maybe empty) at infinity. Previously this was shown (i) for n$\leq$7, and (ii) for arbitrary n up to the first singular time without the smooth condition on $M_\infty$.

Using deformations of singular twistor spaces, a generalisation of the connected sum construction appropriate for quaternionic manifolds is introduced. This is used to construct examples of quaternionic manifolds which have no quaternionic symmetries and leads to examples of quaternionic manifolds whose twistor spaces have arbitrary algebraic dimension.

We prove several formulas related to Hodge theory and the KodairaSpencerKuranishi deformation theory of Khler manifolds. As applications, we present a construction of globally convergent power series of integrable Beltrami differentials on CalabiYau manifolds and also a construction of global canonical family of holomorphic ( n , 0 ) -forms on the deformation spaces of CalabiYau manifolds. Similar constructions are also applied to the deformation spaces of compact Khler manifolds.

In this article, we define a new class of middle dimensional submanifolds of a Hyperkahler manifold which contains the class of complex Lagrangian submanifolds, and show that this larger class is invariant under the mean curvature flow. Along the flow, the complex phase map satisfies the generalized harmonic map heat equation, tt is also related to the mean curvature vector via a first order differential equation. Moreover, we proved a result on nonexistence of Type I singularity.

By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, we prove some new anomaly cancellation formulas which generalize the Han-Zhang and Han-Liu-Zhang anomaly cancellation formulas
