Integral inequalities for holomorphic maps and applications

We derive some integral inequalities for holomorphic maps between complex manifolds. As applications, some rigidity and degeneracy theorems for holomorphic maps without assuming any pointwise curvature signs for both the domain and target manifolds are proved, in which key roles are played by total integration of the function of the first eigenvalue of second Ricci curvature and an almost nonpositivity notion for holomorphic sectional curvature introduced in our previous work. We also apply these integral inequalities to discuss the infinite-time singularity type of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow. The equality case is characterized for some special settings.
