Abstract Let $g=e^{2u}g_{euc}$ be a conformal metric defined on the unit disk of ${{\mathbb{C}}}$. We give an estimate of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{2,\infty }(D_{\frac{1}{2}})}$ when $\|K(g)\|_{L^1}$ is small and $\frac{\mu (B_r^g(z),g)}{\pi r^2}<\Lambda $ for any $r$ and $z\in D_{\frac{3}{4}}$. Then we use this estimate to study the Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of a conformal metric sequence with bounded $\|K\|_{L^1}$ and give some applications.

AbstractIt is proved that a compactum is locally n-connected if and only if it is the limit (in the sense of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence) of an "equi-locally n-connected" sequence of (at most) (n + 1)-dimensional compacta.

This paper is a sequel to [Continuity of extremal transitions and flops for Calabi–Yau manifolds, J. Differential Geom.89 (2011) 233–270]. We further investigate the Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics under degenerations of Calabi–Yau manifolds. We extend Theorem 1.1 in [Continuity of extremal transitions and flops for Calabi–Yau manifolds, J. Differential Geom.89 (2011) 233–270] by removing the condition on existence of crepant resolutions for Calabi–Yau varieties.

The [Formula: see text]-covers of Sormani–Wei ([20]) are known not to be “closed” with respect to Gromov–Hausdorff convergence. In this paper we use the essential circles introduced in [19] to define a larger class of covering maps of compact geodesic spaces called “circle covers” that are “closed” with respect to Gromov–Hausdorff convergence and include [Formula: see text]-covers. In fact, we use circle covers to completely understand the limiting behavior of [Formula: see text]-covers. The proofs use the descrete homotopy methods developed by Berestovskii, Plaut, and Wilkins, and in fact we show that when [Formula: see text], the Sormani–Wei [Formula: see text]-cover is isometric to the Berestovskii–Plaut–Wilkins [Formula: see text]-cover. Of possible independent interest, our arguments involve showing that “almost isometries” between compact geodesic spaces result in explicitly controlled quasi-isometries between their [Formula: see text]-covers. Finally, we use essential circles to strengthen a theorem of E. Cartan by finding a new (even for compact Riemannian manifolds) finite set of generators of the fundamental group of a semilocally simply connected compact geodesic space. We conjecture that there is always a generating set of this sort having minimal cardinality among all generating sets.
