We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward -- existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for…
We study a class of fourth order curvature flows on a compact Riemannian manifold, which includes the gradient flows of a number of quadratic geometric functionals, as for instance the L2 norm of the curvature. Such flows can develop a…

The coefficients of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equations that describe weakly nonlinear convection in a large rotating annulus are calculated for a range of Prandtl numbers $\sigma$. For fluids with $\sigma \approx 0.15$, we show that the…
We derive a relationship for the vortex aspect ratio $\alpha$ (vertical half-thickness over horizontal length scale) for steady and slowly evolving vortices in rotating stratified fluids, as a function of the Brunt-Vaisala frequencies…
Recently, two new topological properties for operators acting on a topological vector space were introduced: strong hypercyclicity and hypermixing. We introduce a new property called ultra hypercyclicity and compare it to strong…
The effective theory of rotating pion superfluid in the presence of topological defects will be considered. We study the anomaly induced effects and the interplay between domain-wall and superfluid vortex under rotation. A non-uniform…
Let $d >1$. In this paper we show that for an irreducible permutation $\pi$ which is not a rotation, the set of $[\lambda]\in \mathbb{P}_+^{d-1}$ such that the interval exchange transformation $f([\lambda],\pi)$ is not weakly mixing does…
We consider two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with Navier-slip and fixed temperature boundary conditions at the two horizontal rough walls described by the height function $h$. We prove rigorous upper bounds on the Nusselt number…
In this article we introduce a gluing orbit property, weaker than specification, for both maps and flows. We prove that flows with the $C^1$-robust gluing orbit property are uniformly hyperbolic and that every uniformly hyperbolic flow…

We present new criteria, based on commutator methods, for the strong mixing property of discrete flows $\{U^N\}_{N\in\mathbb Z}$ and continuous flows $\{{\rm e}^{-itH}\}_{t\in\mathbb R}$ induced by unitary operators $U$ and self-adjoint…
Given orientable Riemannian manifolds $M^n$ and $\bar M^{n+1},$ we study flows $F_t:M^n\rightarrow\bar M^{n+1},$ called Weingarten flows,in which the hypersurfaces $F_t(M)$ evolve in the direction of their normal vectors with speed given by…
For geometric Lorenz attractors (including the classical Lorenz attractor) we obtain a greatly simplified proof of the central limit theorem which applies also to the more general class of codimension two singular hyperbolic attractors. We…
In this paper, we proved the well-posedness theory of compressible subsonic jet flows for two-dimensional steady Euler system with {\it general} incoming horizontal velocity as long as the flux is larger than a critical value. One of the…
The properties of the strongly interacting edge states of two dimensional topological insulators in the presence of two particle backscattering are investigated. We find an anomalous behavior of the density-density correlation functions,…
In this note, we combine the work of Ilmanen and of Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi to observe a uniqueness property for tangent flows at the first singular time of a smooth mean curvature flow of a closed surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean…

In this paper we finish the classification of rotational special Weingarten surfaces in S^2 x R and H^2 x R; i.e. rotational surfaces in S^2 x R and H^2 x R whose mean curvature h and extrinsic curvature K_e satisfy h=f(h^2-K_e), for some…
In this paper, we prove a combinatorial property of flows on a cycle. $C(V,E)$ is an undirected cycle with two commodities: $\{s_{1},t_{1}\}, \{s_{2},t_{2}\}$;$r_1>0,r_2>0, \mathbf r=(r_i)_{i=1,2}$ and $f,f'$ are both feasible flows for…
