We show that the interior of the convex core of a quasifuchsian punctured-torus group admits an ideal decomposition (usually an infinite triangulation) which is canonical in two very different senses: in a combinatorial sense via the pleating invariants, and in a geometric sense via an Epstein-Penner convex hull construction in Minkowski space. This result re-proves the Pleating Lamination Theorem for quasifuchsian punctured-torus groups, and extends to all punctured-torus groups if a strong version of the Pleating Lamination Conjecture is true.

We consider complex projective space with its Fubini–Study metric and the X-ray transform defined by integration over its geodesics. We identify the kernel of this transform acting on symmetric tensor fields.

In this paper, we study the Nakano-positivity and dual-Nakano-positivity of certain adjoint vector bundles associated to ample vector bundles. As applications, we get new vanishing theorems about ample vector bundles. For example, we prove that if E is an ample vector bundle over a compact Khler manifold E , $ S^ kE\ts\det E $ is both Nakano-positive and dual-Nakano-positive for any E . Moreover, $ H^{n, q}(X, S^ kE\ts\det E)= H^{q, n}(X, S^ kE\ts\det E)= 0$ for any E . In particular, if E is a Griffiths-positive vector bundle, the naturally induced Hermitian vector bundle $(S^ kE\ts\det E, S^ kh\ts\det h) $ is both Nakano-positive and dual-Nakano-positive for any E .

We establish a boundary maximum principle for free boundary minimal submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension and codimension. Our result holds more generally in the context of varifolds.

In this article we introduce higher order Bergman functions for bounded complete Reinhardt domains in a variety with possi- bly isolated singularities. These Bergman functions are invariant under biholomorhic maps. We use Bergman functions to deter- mine all the biholomorhic maps between two such domains. As a result, we can construct an infinite family of numerical invari- ants from the Bergman functions for such  domains in An variety (x, y, z) ∈ C3 : xy = zn+1 . These infinite family of numerical invariants are actually a complete set of invariants for either the set of all bounded strictly pseudoconvex complete Reinhardt domain in An variety or the set of all bounded pseudoconvex complete Reinhardt domains with real analytic boundaries in An variety. In particular the moduli space of these domains in An variety is constructed explicitly as the image of this complete family of numerical invariants. It is well known that An variety is the quo- tient of cyclic group of order n + 1 on C2. We prove that the moduli space of bounded complete Reinhardt domains in An vari- ety coincides with the moduli space of the corresponding bounded complete Reinhardt domains in C2. Since our complete family of numerical invariants are computable, we have solved the biholo- morphically equivalent problem for large family of domains in C2.
