Let$S$be a closed Shimura variety uniformized by the complex$n$-ball associated with a standard unitary group. The Hodge conjecture predicts that every Hodge class in $${H^{2k} (S, \mathbb{Q})}$$ , $${k=0,\dots, n}$$ , is algebraic. We show that this holds for all degrees$k$away from the neighborhood $${\bigl]\tfrac13n,\tfrac23n\bigr[}$$ of the middle degree. We also prove the Tate conjecture for the same degrees as the Hodge conjecture and the generalized form of the Hodge conjecture in degrees away from an interval (depending on the codimension$c$of the subvariety) centered at the middle dimension of S. These results are derived from a general theorem that applies to all Shimura varieties associated with standard unitary groups of any signature. The proofs make use of Arthur’s endoscopic classification of automorphic representations of classical groups. As such our results rely on the stabilization of the trace formula for the (disconnected) groups $${GL (N) \rtimes \langle \theta \rangle}$$ associated with base change.

In this paper, we will establish a regularity theory for the Kähler–Ricci flow on Fano$n$-manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded in$L$^{$p$}-norm for some $${p > n}$$ . Using this regularity theory, we will also solve a long-standing conjecture for dimension 3. As an application, we give a new proof of the Yau–Tian–Donaldson conjecture for Fano 3-manifolds. The results have been announced in [45].

A longstanding question in the dual Brunn–Minkowski theory is “What are the dual analogues of Federer’s curvature measures for convex bodies?” The answer to this is provided. This leads naturally to dual versions of Minkowski-type problems: What are necessary and sufficient conditions for a Borel measure to be a dual curvature measure of a convex body? Sufficient conditions, involving measure concentration, are established for the existence of solutions to these problems.
