We present a synthetic notion of scalar curvature (and its integral) for Riemannian manifolds and metric measure spaces, defined in terms of the initial slope of a Gaussian (double) integral. We explicitly calculate the integral scalar…

We amplify previous arguments why mean curvature should be used as measure of integration in calculating the effective bending rigidity of fluid membranes subjected to a weak background curvature. The stiffening of the membrane by its…

In this article, we extend the mean curvature flow with surgery to mean convex hypersurfaces with entropy less than $\Lambda_{n-2}$. In particular, 2-convexity is not assumed. Next we show the surgery flow with just the initial convexity…

We consider a two-dimensional, two-layer, incompressible, steady flow, with vorticity which is constant in each layer, in an infinite channel with rigid walls. The velocity is continuous across the interface, there is no surface tension or…

We first bound the codimension of an ancient mean curvature flow by the entropy. As a consequence, all blowups lie in a Euclidean subspace whose dimension is bounded by the entropy and dimension of the evolving submanifolds. This…

We show that the surface area preserving mean curvature flow in Euclidean space exists for all time and converges exponentially to a round sphere, if initially the L^2-norm of the traceless second fundamental form is small (but the initial…

In this paper, we first use the method of Colding and Minicozzi [5] to show that K. Smoczyk's classification theorem [16] for complete self-shrinkers in higher codimension also holds under a weaker condition. Then as an application, we give…

We show that Caratheodory's conjecture, on umbilical points of closed convex surfaces, may be reformulated in terms of the existence of at least one umbilic in the graphs of functions f: R^2-->R whose gradient decays uniformly faster than…

Relativistic hydrodynamics of an isentropic fluid in a gravitational field is considered as the particular example from the family of Lagrangian hydrodynamic-type systems which possess an infinite set of integrals of motion due to the…

We obtain improved local well-posedness results for the Lorentzian timelike minimal surface equation. In dimension $d=3$, for a surface of arbitrary co-dimension, we show a gain of $1/3$ derivative regularity compared to a generic equation…

We establish interior estimates for singularities of the Lagrangian mean curvature flow when the Lagrangian phase is critical, i.e., $|\Theta|\geq (n-2)\tfrac{\pi}{2}$, and extend our results to the broader class of Lagrangian mean…

We prove that if an orientable 3-manifold $M$ admits a complete Riemannian metric whose scalar curvature is positive and has a subquadratic decay at infinity, then it decomposes as a (possibly infinite) connected sum of spherical manifolds…
