Comparison geometry of holomorphic bisectional curvature for Kähler manifolds and limit spaces (Q2059011)

In Riemannian geometry, there is a well-established theory of manifolds with lower sectional curvature bounds, involving triangle comparison with constant curvature spaces, Gromov-Hausdorff limits, Alexandrov spaces etc. The goal of this paper is to develop the Kähler analogue, under a bisectional curvature lower bound, and characterize the noncollapsing Gromov-Hausdorf limits. Some of the main results are: \begin{itemize} \item The analogue of the Hessian upper bound for the distance function is a complex Hessian upper bound. This can be formulated weakly as a mean value inequality on complex disks. Hermitian manifolds with this property must in fact be Kähler, by a local calculation. \item Noncollapsed Ricci limit spaces are complex manifolds, with continuous local potentials, and the distance functions are bi-Hölder to smooth metrics. The mean value inequality characterization passes to the limit. These appeal to local Ricci flow techniques. \item Tangent cones are Kähler cones biholomorphic to the standard Euclidean space, and the Kähler potential is \(r^2/2\). They are also affine cones over the projective space, with bisectional curvature at least two in the weak sense. \end{itemize}
