We establish mean curvature estimate for immersed hypersurface with nonnegative extrinsic scalar curvature in Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1}, \bar g)$ through regularity study of a degenerate fully nonlinear curvature equation in general Riemannian manifold. The estimate has a direct consequence for the Weyl isometric embedding problem of $(\mathbb S^2, g)$ in $3$-dimensional warped product space $(N^3, \bar g)$. We also discuss isometric embedding problem in spaces with horizon in general relativity, like the Anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild manifolds and the Reissner-Nordstr\"om manifolds.

We prove several formulas related to Hodge theory and theKodaira– Spencer–Kuranishi deformation theory of Kähler manifolds. As applications, wepresent a construction of globally convergent power series of integrableBeltrami differentials on Calabi–Yau manifolds and also a construction of global canonical family of holomorphic (n, 0)-forms on the deformation spaces of Calabi–Yau manifolds. Similar constructions are also applied to the deformation spaces of compact Kähler manifolds.

Wedge product on deRham complex of a Riemannian manifold M can be pulled back to H^∗(M) via explicit homotopy, constructed using Green’s operator, to give higher product structures. We prove Fukaya’s conjecture which suggests that Witten deformation of these higher product structures have semiclassical limits as operators defined by counting gradient flow trees with respect to Morse functions, which generalizes the remarkable Witten deformation of deRham differential from a statement concerning homology to one concerning real homotopy type of M. Various applications of this conjecture to mirror symmetry are also suggested by Fukaya.

We show that a compact Kaehler manifold with nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature has nef canonical bundle. If the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative then it follows that the canonical bundle is ample, confirming a conjecture of Yau. The key ingredient is the recent solution of this conjecture in the projective case by Wu-Yau.

In this paper, we prove some analogues of Payne-Polya-Weinberger, Hile-Protter and Yang's inequalities for Dirichlet (discrete) Laplace eigenvalues on any subset in the integer lattice $\Z^n.$ This partially answers a question posed by Chung and Oden.
