By studying the heat semigroup, we prove Li-Yau type estimates for bounded and positive solutions of the heat equation on graphs, under the assumption of the curvature-dimension inequality $CDE'(n,0)$, which can be consider as a notion of curvature for graphs. Furthermore, we derive that if a graph has non-negative curvature then it has the volume doubling property, from this we can prove the Gaussian estimate for heat kernel, and then Poincar\'{e} inequality and Harnack inequality. As a consequence, we obtain that the dimension of space of harmonic functions on graphs with polynomial growth is finite, which original is a conjecture of Yau on Riemannian manifold proved by Colding and Minicozzi. Under the assumption of positive curvature on graphs, we derive the Bonnet-Myers type theorem that the diameter of graphs is finite and bounded above in terms of the positive curvature by proving some Log Sobolev inequalities.

Let $F: \sum^n \times [0, T) \to \mathbb{R}^{n+m} be a family of compact immersed submanifolds moving by their mean curvature vectors. We show the Gauss maps $\gamma : (\sum^n, g_t) \to G(n,m)$ form a harmonic heat flow with respect to the time-dependent induced metric $g_t$. This provides a more systematic approach to investigating higher codimension mean curvature flows. A direct consequence is any convex function on $G(n,m)$ produces a subsolution of the nonlinear heat equation on $(\sum, g_t)$. We also show the condition that the image of the Gauss map lies in a totally geodesic submanifold of $G(n,m)$ is preserved by the mean curvature flow. Since the space of Lagrangian subspaces is totally geodesic in $G(n, n)$, this gives an alternative proof that any Lagrangian submanifold remains Lagrangian along the mean curvature flow.

Let V be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We shall give a detailed classification up to baskets of singularities on a minimal model of V . We show that the m-canonical map of V is birational for all m≥73 and that the canonical volume Vol(V ) ≥ 1/2660 . When (OV ) ≤1, our result is Vol(V )≥1/420 , which is optimal. Other effective results are also included in the paper.
