Inversive distance circle packings introduced by Bowers-Stephenson are natural generalizations of Thurston's circle packings on surfaces. To find piecewise Euclidean metrics on surfaces with prescribed combinatorial curvatures, we introduce…

We consider the mean curvature flow of compact convex surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space with free boundary lying on an arbitrary convex barrier surface with bounded geometry. When the initial surface is sufficiently convex, depending only on…

Dilation surfaces are generalizations of translation surfaces where the transition maps of the atlas are translations and homotheties with a positive ratio. In contrast with translation surfaces, the directional flow on dilation surfaces…

This paper describes the cutting sequences of geodesic flow on the modular surface H/PSL(2,Z) with respect to the standard fundamental domain F = {z=x+iy: -1/2 <= x <= 1/2 and |z|>=1} of PSL(2,Z). The cutting sequence for a vertical…

This work introduces the framed curvature flow, a generalization of both the curve shortening flow and the vortex filament equation. Here, the magnitude of the velocity vector is still determined by the curvature, but its direction is given…

We show that the mean curvature flow for a closed and rotationally symmetric surface can be formulated as an evolution problem consisting of an evolution equation for the square of the function whose graph is rotated and two ODEs describing…

The connection between cutting sequences of geodesics on the modular surface $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$ and regular continued fractions was established by Series, and Heersink expanded the cross-section of the…

We propose a new condition $\aleph$ which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov's theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus.…

Cutting a hyperbolic surface X along a simple closed multi-geodesic results in a hyperbolic structure on the complementary subsurface. We study the distribution of the shapes of these subsurfaces in moduli space as boundary lengths go to…

Masur's divergence states that the horizontal foliation of translation surfaces is uniquely ergodic if the geodesic flow is recurrent on the moduli space. This established a relationship between geometrical properties of foliations and the…
