A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…

We introduce a geometric evolution equation for 3-manifolds with sectional curvature of one sign which is in some sense dual to the Ricci flow. On a closed 3-manifold with negative sectional curvature, we establish short time existence and…

We consider a compact, star-shaped, mean convex hypersurface $\Sigma^2\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that in some cases the flow exists until it shrinks to a point in a spherical manner, which is very typical for convex surfaces as well…

Let \Sigma be a compact oriented surface immersed in a four dimensional K\"ahler-Einstein manifold M. We consider the evolution of \Sigma in the direction of its mean curvature vector. It is proved that being symplectic is preserved along…

A stochastic flow is constructed on a frame bundle adapted to a Riemannian foliation on a compact manifold. The generator A of the resulting transition semigroup is shown to preserve the basic functions and forms, and there is an…

We develop a local version of Huisken-Stampacchia iteration, using it to obtain local versions of a host of important sharp curvature pinching estimates for mean curvature flow. The local estimates we obtain do not depend on the quality of…

Two dimensional turbulence has a remarkable tendency to self-organize into large, coherent structures, forming a mean flow. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate how these structures are sustained, and what determines them and the…
