For the Neumann heat flow on nonconvex Riemannian domains $D\subset M$, we provide sharp gradient estimates and transport estimates with a novel $\sqrt t$-dependence, for instance, $$\text{Lip}( P^D_tf)\le e^{2S \,…
In this paper, by maximum principle and cutoff function, we investigate gradient estimates for positive solutions to two nonlinear parabolic equations under Ricci flow. The related Harnack inequalities are deduced. An result about positive…

On the space of positive 3-forms on a seven-manifold, we study a natural functional whose critical points induce metrics with holonomy contained in $G_2$. We prove short-time existence and uniqueness for its negative gradient flow.…
In this paper, we introduce a new concept of glued manifolds and investigate under which conditions the canonical heat flow on these glued manifolds is ergodic and irreducible. Glued manifolds are metric spaces consisting of manifolds of…

In this paper we are concerned with the matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimates for nonlinear heat equations. Firstly, we derive such estimate on a K\"{a}hler manifold with a fixed K\"{a}hler metric. Then we consider the estimate on K\"{a}hler…
The goal of this paper is to discuss some of the results in [31] and [32] and expand upon the work there by proving a global weak existence result as well as a first bubbling analysis in finite time. In addition, an alternative local…
In this paper, we introduce the regularized conformal heat flow of $n$-harmonic maps, or simply regularized $n$-conformal heat flow from $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold. This is a system of evolution equations combined with regularized…
We present an analysis on the convergence properties of the so-called geometric heat flow equation for computing geodesics (extremal curves) on Riemannian manifolds. Computing geodesics numerically in real time has become an important…
In this paper, we establish existence results for positive solutions to the Lichnerowicz equation of the following type in closed manifolds -\Delta u=A(x)u^{-p}-B(x)u^{q},\quad in\quad M, where $p>1, q>0$, and $A(x)>0$, $B(x)\geq0$ are…
In [BOV20] Barutello, Ortega, and Verzini introduced a non-local functional which regularizes the free fall. This functional has a critical point at infinity and therefore does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. In this article we…
We consider a nonlinear parabolic equation with a nonlocal term, which preserves the $L^2$-norm of the solution. We study the local and global well posedness on a bounded domain, as well as the whole Euclidean space, in $H^1$. Then we study…
Several non-local curvature flows for plane curves with a general rotation number are discussed in this work. The types of flows include the area-preserving flow and the length-preserving flow. We have a relatively good understanding of…
In this note we obtain local derivative estimates of Shi-type for the heat equation coupled to the Ricci flow. As applications, in part combining with Kuang's work, we extend some results of Zhang and Bamler-Zhang including distance…
We derive a sharp, localized version of elliptic type gradient estimates for positive solutions (bounded or not) to the heat equation. These estimates are akin to the Cheng-Yau estimate for the Laplace equation and Hamilton's estimate for…
We consider a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model describing two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in a non-isothermal setting. This model was recently introduced in a previous paper of ours, where we proved existence of…
Electron heat flux is an important and often dominant mechanism of energy transport in a variety of collisional plasmas in a confined fusion or astrophysical context. While nonlocal conductive heat transport, driven by strong temperature…
