We present a reduction-of-codimension theorem for surfaces with parallel mean curvature in symmetric spaces.

We show that the symmetrized bidisc may be exhausted by strongly linearly convex domains. It shows in particular the existence of a strongly linearly convex domain that cannot be exhausted by domains biholomorphic to convex ones.

In this paper we study the birational geometry of HyperKaehler manifolds by combining the method of minimal model program and the traditional approach of symplectic geometry.

We obtain an effective lower bound on the distance of the sum of co-adjoint orbits from the origin. Even when the distance is zero (thus the symplectic quotient is well defined) our result gives a nontrivial constraint on these co-adjoint orbits. In the particular case of unitary groups, we obtain the quadratic inequality for eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices satisfying A + B = C. This quadratic inequality can be interpreted as the Chern number inequality for semi-stable reflexive toric sheaves.

We give ChernWeil definitions of the Maslov indices of bundle pairs over a Riemann surface \Sigma with boundary, which consists of symplectic vector bundle on \Sigma and a Lagrangian subbundle on \Sigma as well as its generalization for transversely intersecting Lagrangian boundary conditions. We discuss their properties and relations to the known topological definitions. As a main application, we extend Maslov index to the case with orbifold interior singularities, via curvature integral, and find also an analogous topological definition in these cases.
