Given a smooth polarized Riemann surface (X, L) endowed with a hyperbolic metric \omega with cusp singularities along a divisor D, we show the L^ 2 projective embedding of (X, D) defined by L^ k is asymptotically almost balanced in a weighted sense. The proof depends on sufficiently precise understanding of the behavior of the Bergman kernel in three regions, with the most crucial one being the neck region around D. This is the first step towards understanding the algebro-geometric stability of extremal Khler metrics with singularities.

Let  $\sum $ be a compact oriented surface immersed in a four dimensional K¨ahler-Einsteinmanifold $(M, ω)$. We consider the evolution of $\sum$ in the direction of its mean curvature vector. It is proved that being symplectic is preserved along the flow and the flow does not develop type I singularity. When $M$ has two parallel K¨ahler forms $\omega " $ and $\omega ''$ that determine different orientations and  $\sum$ is symplectic with respect to both $\omega " $ and $\omega ''$, we prove the mean curvature flow of $\sum$  exists smoothly for all time. In the positive curvature case, the flow indeed converges at infinity.

We prove the nonexistence of stable immersed minimal surfaces uniformly conformally equivalent to $ \mathbb{C}$ in any complete orientable four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature. We also generalize the same nonexistence result to higher dimensions provided that the ambient manifold has uniformly positive complex sectional curvature. The proof consists of two parts: assuming an ``eigenvalue condition'' on the $ \overline {\partial }$-operator of a holomorphic bundle, we prove (1) a vanishing theorem for these holomorphic bundles on $ \mathbb{C}$ and (2) an existence theorem for holomorphic sections with controlled growth by Hörmander's weighted $L^2$-method.

In this article, we study the Hamiltonian non-displaceability of Gauss images of isopara- metric hypersurfaces in the spheres as Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in complex hyperquadrics.

Let X be a smooth affine surface, X ! G2 m be a finite morphism. We study the affine curves on X, with bounded genus and number of points at infinity, obtaining bounds for their degree in terms of Euler characteristic. A typical example where these bounds hold is represented by the complement of a three-component curve in the projective plane, of total degree at least 4. The corresponding results may be interpreted as bounding the height of integral points on X over a function field. In the language of Diophantine Equations, our results may be rephrased in terms of bounding the height of the solutions of f(u, v, y) = 0, with u, v, y over a function field, u, v S-units. It turns out that all of this contain some cases of a strong version of a conjecture of Vojta over function fields in the split case. Moreover, our method would apply also to the nonsplit case. We remark that special cases of our results in the holomorphic context were studied by M. Green already in the seventies, and recently in greater generality by Noguchi, Winkelmann, and Yamanoi [12]; however, the algebraic context was left open and seems not to fall in the existing techniques.
