We give a classification of birational transformations on smooth projective surfaces which have a Zariski-dense set of noncritical periodic points. In particular, we show that if the first dynamical degree is greater than one, the union of all noncritical periodic orbits is Zariski-dense.

In this paper, we show the Yau’s gradient estimate for harmonic maps into a metric space (X, dX ) with curvature bounded above by a constant κ (κ 􏰣 0) in the sense of Alexandrov. As a direct application, it gives some Liouville theorems for such harmonic maps. This extends the works of Cheng (1980) and Choi (1982) to harmonic maps into singular spaces.

In this paper, we consider the L p dual Minkowski problem by geometric variational method. Using anisotropic Gauss–Kronecker curvature flows, we establish the existence of smooth solutions of the L p dual Minkowski problem when pq ≥ 0 and the given data is even. If f ≡ 1, we show under some restrictions on p and q that the only even, smooth, uniformly convex solution is the unit ball.

In this paper, we investigate the space of certain weak stability conditions on the triangulated category of D0-D2-D6 bound states on a smooth projective Calabi-Yau 3-fold. In the case of a quintic 3-fold, the resulting space is interpreted as a universal covering space of an infinitesimal neighborhood of the conifold point in the stringy K¨ahler moduli space. We then associate the DT type invariants counting semistable objects, which give new curve counting invariants on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. We also investigate the wall-crossing formula of our invariants and their interplay with the Seidel-Thomas twist.
