The skew mean curvature flow(SMCF), which origins from the study of fluid dynamics, describes the evolution of a codimension two submanifold along its binormal direction. We study the basic properties of the SMCF and prove the existence of…
We establish existence and uniqueness results for the modified binormal curvature flow equation that generalizes the binormal curvature flow equation for a curve in $\R^3.$ In this generalization, the velocity of the curve is still directed…
We consider a general curvature equation $F(\kappa)=G(X,\nu(X))$, where $\kappa$ is the principal curvature of the hypersurface $M$ with position vector $X$. It includes the classical prescribed curvature measures problem and area measures…
From the perspective of Morse theory, it is natural to investigate gradient flow trajectories between critical points. In this short note, we explore the minimal hypersurface analogue of this phenomenon and present examples that suggest…
We present an expression for curvature with q-deformed calculus such as considered in \cite{d-k,b-b-k,f-m-r-s-w}. By exploiting the persistence of Bianchi's second identity, we suggest a way to attach physical meaning to the $q$ parameters…
In this note, we will show a backwards uniqueness theorem of the mean curvature flow with bounded second fundamental form in arbitrary codimension.
We provide some obstructions to the prescribed Q-curvature problem for the complete conformal metrics on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite total Q-curvature. One of them is a Bonnet-Mayer type theorem with respect to Q-curvature. Others are…
We show that under suitable non-degeneracy conditions, complete gradient flow lines of the scalar curvature functional of a riemannian manifold perturb into eternal forced mean curvature flows with large forcing term.
In this paper, we study an obstacle problem associated with the mean curvature flow with constant driving force. Our first main result concerns interior and boundary regularity of the solution. We then study in details the large time…
We prove a gradient estimate for graphical spacelike mean curvature flow with a general Neumann boundary condition in dimension $n=2$. This then implies that the mean curvature flow exists for all time and converges to a translating…
In this work, we study the Yamabe flow corresponding to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on compact Riemannian manifolds with negative scalar curvature. The long time existence and convergence of the flow are proved under appropriate…
Streets and Tian introduced pluriclosed flow and symplectic curvature flow in recent years. Here we construct a curvature flow to unify these two flows. We show the short time existence of our flow and exhibit an obstruction to long time…
We study a singular parabolic equation of the total variation type in one dimension. The problem is a simplification of the singular curvature flow. We show existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. We also prove existence of weak…
Earlier work of the first author examined two boundary value problems associated to the Gauss Curvature Flow on a surface of revolution generated by a positive, differentiable function on a compact interval. In this continuation, two…
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…
The aim in these lectures is to study singularity formation, nonuniqueness, and topological change in motion by mean curvature.
I suggest that the current situation in quantum field theory (QFT) provides some reason to question the universal validity of ontological reductionism. I argue that the renormalization group flow is reversible except at fixed points, which…
We obtain height, gradient, and curvature a priori estimates for a modified mean curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Killing vector field. As a consequence, we prove the existence of smooth, entire, longtime solutions for…
This short article is a brief account of the usage of fourth-order curvature flow in surface modelling.
The purpose of this note is to report, in narrative rather than rigorous style, about the nice geometry of $6$-division points on the Fermat cubic $F$ and various conics naturally attached to them. Most facts presented here were derived by…
