About Me

I am a post-doc at Chalmers Tekniska Högskola (from December 2024 to May 2025).

Previously, I was a post-doc at IMJ-PRG. My mentor was Sébastien Boucksom. I obtained my PhD degree at Chalmers Tekniska Högskola in Sweden under the supervision of Robert Berman.

Currently I’m interested in the reverse Andreotti–Grauert theorems and Swedish. Updated on Aug 21, 2024.

Some Problems

This is a collection of problems arising from my own research that may be of interest to people outside my domain. If you know the solutions to any of the following problems, please let me know.

By a theorem of Jow, information of all Okounkov bodies determines all numerical information of line bundles. This problem asks for explicit formulae.

Notes

The lecture notes for courses can be found on a separate page.

Just a preliminary version with potentially many mistakes. I’m slowly adding new materials.

One of my unfinished projects. It contains a number of conjectures of interest.

My personal notes when learning the $L^2$ methods, I plan to include more details in the future. This note contains an example of a reverse Bertini theorem, which seems to be new.

I collect a few well-known results about relative normalisations.

This note is submitted to the proceeding for Bo Berndtsson’s 70th birthday. It is a trivial continuation of my joint paper with Darvas and Zhang. The only notable result is Theorem 4.21.

In this note, I give an example illustrating the idea that the trace operator could systematically improve known inequalities in the literature.

Ymir

Ymir is intended to be a Stacks Project for complex analytic spaces and non-Archimedean analytic spaces.

Research

Errare humanum est.

All my preprints can be found on arXiv. See my Google Scholar page as well.

K-stability

My note Radial Calabi flow might be of interest to the readers of this paper.

In arXiv version 1, Section 8, I briefly explained the second order expansion of Donaldson’s L-functionals, which might be of interest as well.

Pluripotential theory

This paper was the first proof of the integration by parts formula. However, a better approach was found later on by Lu, so this paper is no longer important. I don’t intend to submit it.

There is a slight issue in the proof of Theorem 2.11 line 10: $f^{#}$ is only formally smooth, not smooth. This does not affect anything in the proof. This is corrected in this version.

As pointed out by Vasanth Pidaparthy and Prakhar Gupta, the statement of Proposition 4.12(ii) (Proposition 6.12(ii) in the arXiv version) is wrong in the generality as stated there, one needs to assume that $\varphi_0\leq \gamma\leq \varphi_1$ in addition. This mistake does not affect the other parts of the paper.

The published version contains only the special case without prescribed singularities on Kähler manifolds. The method in the general case is exactly the same.

A different point of view to the trace operator can be found in my lecture notes at Zhejiang university. Given the strong analogy with the usual trace opeartor, it is natural to ask if one could solve the Dirichlet problem for our trace operators: Is it possible to extend (in the sense of trace operators, up to I-equivalence) any Kähler current within a given big cohomology class?

Non-Archimedean geometry and algebraic geometry

In the complex analytic setting, very similar arguments (using Fréchet algebras instead of Banach algebras) give the notion of Stein morphisms. It is of interest to see if these morphisms are useful.

There is minor gap in the proof: In the first step, one needs to further enlarge $\Sigma_1$ to make sure that the restriction ideal coincides with the pull-back as coherent sheaves. A corrected proof is presented in my lecture notes at Zhejiang University.

The theory of non-Archimedean psh functions we developed in this paper trivally satisfies Boucksom–Jonsson’s envelope conjecture (even on a general unibranch complex space), see my note Operations on transcendental non-Archimedean metrics.
