We prove short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Laplacian flow for closed $G_2$ structures on a compact manifold $M^7$. The result was claimed in \cite{BryantG2}, but its proof has never appeared.

We prove that torsion-free G_2 structures are (weakly) dynamically stable along the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures. More precisely, given a torsion-free G_2 structure $\varphi$ on a compact 7-manifold, the Laplacian flow with…

We introduce a flow of $G_2$-structures defining the same underlying Riemannian metric, whose stationary points are those structures with divergence-free torsion. We show short-time existence and uniqueness of the solution.

We develop foundational theory for the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures which will be essential for future study. (1). We prove Shi-type derivative estimates for the Riemann curvature tensor Rm and torsion tensor T along the flow,…

We study the existence of left invariant closed $G_2$-structures defining a Ricci soliton metric on simply connected nonabelian nilpotent Lie groups. For each one of these $G_2$-structures, we show long time existence and uniqueness of…

We study the Laplacian flow of a $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure where this latter structure is claimed to be Locally Conformal Parallel. The first examples of long time solutions of this flow with the Locally Conformal Parallel condition are…

We explicitly describe the solution of the G$_2$-Laplacian flow starting from an extremally Ricci-pinched closed G$_2$-structure on a compact 7-manifold and we investigate its properties. In particular, we show that the solution exists for…

In this work, we approach the Laplacian coflow of a coclosed $G_2$-structure $\varphi$ using the formulae for the irreducible $G_2$-decomposition of the Hodge Laplacian and the Lie derivative of the Hodge dual $4$-form of $\varphi$. In…

We prove the hypersymplectic flow of simple type on standard torus $\mathbb{T}^4$ exists for all time and converges to the standard flat structure modulo diffeomorphisms. This result in particular gives the first example of a…

We use the bracket flow/algebraic soliton approach to study the Laplacian flow of $G_2$-structures and its solitons in the homogeneous case. We prove that any homogeneous Laplacian soliton is equivalent to a semi-algebraic soliton (i.e.\ a…

We prove long-time existence and convergence results for spacelike solutions to mean curvature flow in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n,m}$, which are entire or defined on bounded domains and satisfying Neumann or Dirichlet…

This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…

We survey recent progress in the study of $G_{2}$-structure Laplacian coflows, that is, heat flows of co-closed $G_{2}$-structures. We introduce the properties of the original Laplacian coflow of $G_{2}$-structures as well as the modified…

We consider a short time existence problem motivated by a conjecture of Joyce. Specifically we prove that given any compact Lagrangian $L\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ with a finite number of singularities, each asymptotic to a pair of…

We study the new geometric flow that was introduced in [11] that evolves a pair of map and (domain) metric in such a way that it changes appropriate initial data into branched minimal immersions. In the present paper we focus on the…

In this note, we prove the existence of homogeneous gradient solitons for the G$_2$-Laplacian flow by providing the first known example of this type. This result singles out the G$_2$-Laplacian flow as the first known geometric flow…

In this paper we give local curvature estimates for the Laplacian flow on closed G_2-structures under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. The main ingredient consists of the idea of Kotschwar-Munteanu-Wang who…

We give a one-parameter family of examples of shrinking Laplacian solitons, which are the second known solutions to the closed $G_2$-Laplacian flow with a finite-time singularity. The torsion forms and the Laplacian and Ricci operators of a…

We show the existence of expanding solitons of the G$_2$-Laplacian flow on non-solvable Lie groups, and we give the first example of a steady soliton that is not an extremally Ricci pinched G$_2$-structure.

We find explicit solutions of the Laplacian coflow of $G_2-$structures on seven-dimensional almost-abelian Lie groups. Moreover, we construct new examples of solitons for the Laplacian coflow which are not eigenforms of the Laplacian and we…
