The purpose of this article is to shed new light on this by comparatively investigating them in several aspects. <i>The principal result</i> in this article is a complete solution to the equality characterization problem of various Alexandrov–Fenchel type inequalities for intersection numbers of nef and big classes on compact Kähler manifolds, extending some earlier related results. In addition to this central result, we also give a geometric proof of the complex version of the Alexandrov–Fenchel inequality for mixed discriminants and a determinantal generalization of various Alexandrov–Fenchel type inequalities.","PeriodicalId":50662,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Analysis and Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141969618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that a certain satellite operation produces new P‑fibered braids from known ones. We also use P‑fibered braids to prove that any braid $B$ with $n$ strands, $k_{-}$ negative and $k_{+}$ positive crossings can be turned into a braid whose closure is fibered by adding at least $frac{k_{-} +1}{n}$ negative or $frac{k_{+} +1}{n}$ positive full twists to it.

A regular subset, defined by a local volume growth condition for a limit measure, is shown to carry the structure of a Riemannian manifold. One consequence of this is a compactness theorem for Riemannian manifolds with $L^p$ curvature bounds and an <i>a priori</i> volume growth assumption in the pointed Cheeger–Gromov topology. A different notion of convergence is also studied, which replaces the exhaustion by balls in the pointed Cheeger–Gromov topology with an exhaustion by volume non-collapsed regions. Assuming in addition a lower bound on the Ricci curvature, the compactness theorem is extended to this topology. Moreover, we study how a convergent sequence of manifolds disconnects topologically in the limit. In two dimensions, building on results of Shioya, the structure of limit spaces is described in detail: it is seen to be a union of an incomplete Riemannian surface and $1$-dimensional length spaces.","PeriodicalId":50662,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Analysis and Geometry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141947977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
