The top Yau--Yang conjecture for Kähler manifolds with positive sectional curvature

Abstract

We prove that the top wedge power of the Ricci form of a complete non-compact Kähler manifold with positive sectional curvature has finite integral. Using a result of Chen-Zhu, an immediate consequence is the quasiprojectivity of such manifolds under the assumption of bounded sectional curvature. A key new idea to prove Bézout estimates along with a Lipschitz weight with finite Monge-Ampère mass is used in the proof of the main result.
