We introduce a geometric evolution equation for 3-manifolds with sectional curvature of one sign which is in some sense dual to the Ricci flow. On a closed 3-manifold with negative sectional curvature, we establish short time existence and…
In this paper, we investigate manifolds for which the curvature of the second kind (following the terminology of Nishikawa) satisfies certain positivity conditions. Our main result settles Nishikawa's conjecture that manifolds for which the…
This note is a study of nonnegativity conditions on curvature which are preserved by the Ricci flow. We focus on specific kinds of curvature conditions which we call noncoercive, these are the conditions for which nonnegative curvature and…

We study the obstacle problem associated to mean curvature flow. We add to the geometric vanishing-viscosity approximation of Evans and Spruck a singular perturbation that penalizes the violation of the constraint, and pass to the limit.…

We generalize a classification result for self-shrinkers of the mean curvature flow with nonnegative mean curvature, which was obtained by T. Colding and W. Minicozzi, replacing the assumption on polynomial volume growth with a weighted…

We study graphical mean curvature flow of complete solutions defined on subsets of Euclidean space. We obtain smooth long time existence. The projections of the evolving graphs also solve mean curvature flow. Hence this approach allows to…
In this paper, we mainly study the mean curvature flow in K\"ahler surfaces with positive holomorphic sectional curvatures. We prove that if the ratio of the maximum and the minimum of the holomorphic sectional curvatures is less than 2,…
We prove the mean curvature flow of a spacelike graph in $(\Sigma_1\times \Sigma_2, g_1-g_2)$ of a map $f:\Sigma_1\to \Sigma_2$ from a closed Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma_1,g_1)$ with $Ricci_1> 0$ to a complete Riemannian manifold…
We consider rigidity properties of steady Euler flows in two-dimensional bounded domains. We prove that steady Euler flows in a disk with exactly one interior stagnation point and tangential boundary conditions must be circular flows, which…
In this paper, we consider the 2D second grade fluid past an obstacle satisfying the standard non-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. Second grade fluid model is a well-known non-Newtonian model, with two parameters:…
The skew mean curvature flow(SMCF), which origins from the study of fluid dynamics, describes the evolution of a codimension two submanifold along its binormal direction. We study the basic properties of the SMCF and prove the existence of…
Fluid flow in pipes with discontinuous cross section or with kinks is described through balance laws with a non conservative product in the source. At jump discontinuities in the pipes' geometry, the physics of the problem suggests how to…
In this work, we obtain a existence criteria for the longtime K\"ahler Ricci flow solution. Using the existence result, we generalize a result by Wu-Yau on the existence of K\"ahler Einstein metric to the case with possibly unbounded…
We present variational approximations of boundary value problems for curvature flow (curve shortening flow) and elastic flow (curve straightening flow) in two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are conformally flat. For the evolving open…
The main purpose of this short note is to point out that the negative gradient flow for the prescribed $\mathbf Q$-curvature problem on $S^n$ can be extended to handle the case that the $\mathbf Q$-curvature candidate $f$ may change signs.
