For a one-parameter family (V, {i}pg i=1) of general type hypersurfaces with bases of holomorphic n-forms, we construct open covers V = Spg i=1 Ui using tropical geometry. We show that after normalization, each i is approximately supported on a unique Ui and such a pair approximates a Calabi-Yau hypersurface together with its holomorphic n-form as the parameter becomes large. We also show that the Lagrangian fibers in the fibration constructed by Mikhalkin [9] are asymptotically special Lagrangian. As the holomorphic n-form plays an important role in mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds, our results is a step toward understanding mirror symmetry for general type manifolds.

We construct examples of shrinkers and expanders for Lagrangian mean curvature flows. These examples are Hamiltonian stationary and asymptotic to the union of two Hamiltonian stationary cones found by Schoen and Wolfson in [SWO]. The Schoen- Wolfson cones Cp,q are obstructions to the existence problems of special Lagrangians or Lagrangian minimal surfaces in the variational approach. It is known that these cone singularities cannot be resolved by any smooth oriented Lagrangian submanifolds. The shrinkers and expanders that we found can be glued together to yield solutions of the Brakke motion-a weak formulation of the mean curvature flow. For any coprime pair (p, q) with p > q > 1, we construct such a solution that resolves one single Schoen-Wolfson cone Cp,q. Note that Cp,q is stable only if p . q = 1. It thus provides an evidence to Schoen-Wolfson’s conjecture that the (2, 1) cone is the only area-minimizing cone. Higher dimensional generalizations are also obtained.

Sharp Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities are established for the entire class of Lp projection bodies and the entire class of Lp centroid bodies. These new inequalities strengthen the Lp Petty projection and the Lp Busemann–Petty centroid inequality.

We show that the dynamics of automorphisms on all projective complex manifolds X (of dimension 3, or of any dimension but assuming the Good Minimal Model Program or Mori’s Program) are canonically built up from the dynamics on just three types of projective complex manifolds: complex tori, weak Calabi-Yau manifolds and rationally connected manifolds. As a by-product, we confirm the conjecture of Guedj [20] for automorphisms on 3-dimensional projective manifolds, and also determine π1(X).

We state and prove a long-elusive relation between genus-one Gromov-Witten of a complete intersection and twisted Gromov Witten invariants of the ambient projective space. As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component M 0 1,k(Pn, d) of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into Pn have a well-defined euler class. In this paper, we extend this result to moduli spaces of perturbed, in a restricted way, J-holomorphic maps. This extension is used to show that these cones are the correct genus-one analogues of the vector bundles relating genuszero Gromov-Witten invariants of a complete intersection to those of the ambient projective space. A relationship for higher-genus invariants is conjectured as well.
