TLDR
The Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation (HMM) is a fully nonlinear geometric PDE on Kahler manifolds which plays an important role in mirror symmetry.
Abstract
We provide an introduction to the mathematics and physics of the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation, a fully nonlinear geometric PDE on Kahler manifolds which plays an important role in mirror symmetry. We discuss the physical origin of the equation, and some recent progress towards its solution. In dimension 3 we prove a new Chern number inequality and discuss the relationship with algebraic stability conditions.

A numerical criterion for generalised Monge-Ampere equations on projective manifolds

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that generalised Monge-Ampere equations (a family of equations which includes the inverse Hessian equations like the J-equation, as well as the monge-ampere equation) on projective manifolds have smooth solutions if certain intersection numbers are positive.

On J-equation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for any constant scalar curvature Kahler metric, there exists a constant curvature metric that satisfies the J-equation if and only if it is uniformly J-stable.

On The Ricci Curvature of a Compact Kahler Manifold and the Complex Monge-Ampere Equation, I*

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ricci form of some Kahler metric is shown to be closed and its cohomology class must represent the first Chern class of M. This conjecture of Calabi can be reduced to a problem in non-linear partial differential equation.

A Pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds as an exactly soluble superconformal theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the prepotentials and geometry of the moduli spaces for a Calabi-Yau manifold and its mirror were derived and all the sigma model corrections to the Yukawa couplings and moduli space metric were obtained.
