We consider smooth plane curves which are convex with respect to the origin. We describe centro-affine invariants (that is, GL_+(2,R)-invariants), such as centro-affine curvature and arc length, in terms of the canonical Lorentz structure…

We consider certain solutions of the Infinity-Laplace Equation in planar convex rings. Their ascending streamlines are unique while the descending ones may bifurcate. We prove that bifurcation occurs in the generic situation and as a…

A well-known question of Perelman concerns the classification of noncompact ancient solutions to the Ricci flow in dimension $3$ which have positive sectional curvature and are $\kappa$-noncollapsed. In this paper, we solve the analogous…

We construct an embedded ancient solution to the mean curvature flow which is qualitatively given by a ``stack'' of two ancient pancakes joined by a neck. Our solution is closed, non-convex, and contained in a slab.
