We study some estimates along the Kahler Ricci flow on Fano manifolds. Using these estimates, we show the convergence of Kahler Ricci flow directly if the $\alpha$-invariant of the canonical class is greater than $\frac{n}{n+1}$. Applying…

S. K. Donaldson asked whether the lower bound of the Calabi functional is achieved by a sequence the normalized Donaldson-Futaki invariants. We answer the question for the Ricci curvature formalism, in place of the scalar curvature. The…

This paper introduces equivariant hamiltonian flows, a method for learning expressive densities that are invariant with respect to a known Lie-algebra of local symmetry transformations while providing an equivariant representation of the…

In \cite{Luo0}, Feng Luo conjectured that the discrete Yamabe flow will converge to the constant curvature PL-metric after finite number of surgeries on the triangulation. In this paper, we prove that the flow can always be extended…

We apply the mean curvature flow to deform symplectomorphisms of $\mathbb{CP}^n$. In particular, we prove that, for each dimension n, there exists a constant $\Lambda$, explicitly computable, such that any $\Lambda$-pinched…

Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact connected K\"ahler manifold and denote by $(\mathcal E^p,d_p)$ the metric completion of the space of K\"ahler potentials $\mathcal H_\omega$ with respect to the $L^p$-type path length metric $d_p$. First, we…

We consider the problem of determining the class of continuous-time dynamical systems that can be globally linearized in the sense of admitting an embedding into a linear system on a higher-dimensional Euclidean space. We solve this problem…

We show that self-similar solutions for the mean curvature flow, surface diffusion and Willmore flow of entire graphs are stable upon perturbations of initial data with small Lipschitz norm. Roughly speaking, the perturbed solutions are…

A normalizing flow models a complex probability density as an invertible transformation of a simple density. The invertibility means that we can evaluate densities and generate samples from a flow. In practice, autoregressive flow-based…

We briefly review the Kapovich-Millson notion of Bending flows as an integrable system on the space of polygons in ${\bf R}^3$, its connection with a specific Gaudin XXX system, as well as the generalisation to $su(r), r>2$. Then we…

In this thesis we study the relationship between the existence of canonical metrics on a complex manifold and stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory. We introduce a modification of K-stability of a polarised variety which we…

We study the convergence and curvature blow up of La Nave and Tian's continuity method on a generalised Hirzebruch surface. We show that the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence is similar to that of the Kahler-Ricci flow and obtain curvature…

We study the embedded Calabi-Yau problem for complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology or of positive injectivity radius in a simply-connected three-dimensional Lie group X endowed with a left-invariant…

In this paper, we introduce discrete Calabi flow to the graphics research community and present a novel conformal mesh parameterization algorithm. Calabi energy has a succinct and explicit format. Its corresponding flow is conformal and…

We introduce a new geometric flow of Hermitian metrics which evolves an initial metric along the second derivative of the Chern scalar curvature. The flow depends on the choice of a background metric, it always reduces to a scalar equation…

We define canonical refinements of Harder-Narasimhan filtrations and stratifications in moduli theory, generalising and relating work of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pandit and Kirwan. More precisely, we define a canonical stratification on…

We develop new variational principles to study stability and equilibrium of axisymmetric flows. We show that there is an infinite number of steady state solutions. We show that these steady states maximize a (non-universal) $H$-function. We…

We study the evolution of curves with fixed length and clamped boundary conditions moving by the negative $L^2$-gradient flow of the elastic energy. For any initial curve lying merely in the energy space we show existence and parabolic…

In this paper, we introduce two discrete curvature flows, which are called $\alpha$-flows on two and three dimensional triangulated manifolds. For triangulated surface $M$, we introduce a new normalization of combinatorial Ricci flow (first…

We complement a recent work on the stability of fixed points of the CMC-Einstein-$\Lambda$ flow. In particular, we modify the utilized gauge for the Einstein equations and remove a restriction on the fixed points whose stability we are able…
