We consider the problem of evolving hypersurfaces by mean curvature flow in the presence of obstacles, that is domains which the flow is not allowed to enter. In this paper, we treat the case of complete graphs and explain how the approach…

In this paper, we study curve shortening flows on rotational surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We assume that the surfaces have negative Gauss curvatures and that some condition related to the Gauss curvature and the curvature of embedded curve…

In this note, we prove that the abstract gradient flow introduced by Baird-Fardoun-Regbaoui \cite{BFR}is well-posed on a closed Riemann surface with conical singularity. Long time existence and convergence of the flow are proved under…

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…

Let $(M^{n},g_{0})$ be a $n=3,4,5$ dimensional, closed Riemannian manifold of positive Yamabe invariant. For a smooth function $K>0$ on $M$ we consider a scalar curvature flow, that tends to prescribe $K$ as the scalar curvature of a metric…

We give an overview of the existence and regularity results for curvature flows and how these flows can be used to solve some problems in geometry and physics.

The purpose of these notes is to provide an introduction to those who want to learn more about translating solitons for the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$, particularly those which are complete graphs over domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$.…

In this paper, we present a unified flow approach to prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem on compact Hermitian manifolds with negative Gauduchon degree. When the conformal class of its Hermitian metric contains a balanced metric, we…

In this paper, we study the motion of level sets by general curvature. The difficulty of this setting is that a general curvature function is only well defined in an admissible cone. In order to extend the existence of a weak solution of a…

This paper is devoted to the construction of weak solutions to the singular constant $Q$-curvature problem. We build on several tools developed in the last years. This is the first construction of singular metrics on closed manifolds of…

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 give examples of pinched negatively curved manifolds for which the Ricci flow does not converge smoothly.

We collect a few guesses on possible implications of a lower bound on the scalar curvature of a Riemannian manifold on the size and shape of this manifold.

We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.

We first define Pseudo-Calabi flow, as {equation*} {{aligned}{{\partial \varphi}\over {\partial t}}&= -f(\varphi), \triangle_varphi f(\varphi) &= S(\varphi) - \ul S.{aligned}. \end{equation*} Then we prove the well-posedness of this flow…

This paper is devoted to the Q-curvature type equation with singularities; mainly we give existence and regularity results of solutions. To have positive solutions which will be meaningfully in conformal geometry we restrict ourself to…

We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the plane by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously…

We make several improvements on the results of M.-T. Wang in [8] and his joint paper with M.-P. Tsui [7] concerning the long time existence and convergence for solutions of mean curvature flow in higher co-dimension. Both the curvature…
