In this essay we aim to explore the Geometric aspects of the Calabi Conjecture and highlight the techniques of nonlinear Elliptic PDE theory used by S.T. Yau [SY] in obtaining a solution to the problem. Yau proves the existence of a Geometric structure using differential equations, giving importance to the idea that deep insights into geometry can be obtained by studying solutions of such equations. Yaus proof of the existence of a specific class of metrics have found a natural interpretation in recent developments in Theoretical Physics most notably in the formulation of String Theory. We will also attempt to explore the importance of a special case of Yaus solution known as Calabi-Yau Manifolds in the context of holonomy.

We study the quaternionic Calabi-Yau problem in HKT geometry introduced by Alesker and Verbitsky on 8-dimensional 2-step nilmanifolds with an abelian hypercomplex structure. We show that the quaternionic Monge-Amp`ere equation on these manifolds can always be solved for every data which is invariant by the action of a 3-dimensional torus.

We prove the longtime existence and convergence of the Calabi flow on toric Fano surfaces in a large family of Kahler classes where the class has positive extremal Hamiltonian potential and the initial Calabi energy is bounded by some constant. This is an extension of our previous work. We use the toric condition in a more essential way to rule out bubbles.
We formulate a Calabi-Yau type conjecture in generalized Kahler geometry, focusing on the case of nondegenerate Poisson structure. After defining natural Hamiltonian deformation spaces for generalized Kahler structures generalizing the notion of Kahler class, we conjecture unique solvability of Gualtieris Calabi-Yau equation within this class. We establish the uniqueness, and moreover show that all such solutions are actually hyper-Kahler metrics. We furthermore establish a GIT framework for this problem, interpreting solutions of this equation as zeros of a moment map associated to a Hamiltonian action and finding a Kempf-Ness functional. Lastly we indicate the naturality of generalized Kahler-Ricci flow in this setting, showing that it evolves within the given Hamiltonian deformation class, and that the Kempf-Ness functional is monotone, so that the only possible fixed points for the flow are hyper-Kahler metrics. On a hyper-Kahler background, we establish global existence and weak convergence of the flow.

We consider the formation of singularities along the Calabi flow with the assumption of the uniform Sobolev constant. In particular, on Kahler surface we show that any maximal bubble has to be a scalar flat ALE Kahler metric. In some certain classes on toric Fano surface, the Sobolev constant is a priori bounded along the Calabi flow with small Calabi energy. Also we can show in certain case no maximal bubble can form along the flow, it follows that the curvature tensor is uniformly bounded and the flow exists for all time and converges to an extremal metric subsequently. To illustrate our results more clearly, we focus on an example on CP^2 blown up three points at generic position. Our result also implies existence of constant scalar curvature metrics on CP^2 blown up three points at generic position in the Kahler classes where the exceptional divisors have the same area.

In this paper, we will study harmonic functions on the complete and incomplete spaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature which exhibit inhomogeneous collapsing behaviors at infinity. The main result states that any nonconstant harmonic function on such spaces yields a definite exponential growth rate which depends explicitly on the geometric data at infinity.
