We show that on a Kahler manifold whether the J-flow converges or not is independent of the chosen background metric in its Kahler class. On toric manifolds we give a numerical characterization of when the J-flow converges, verifying a…
Donaldson defined a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds which arises from considering the action of a group of symplectomorphisms on the space of smooth maps between manifolds. One can define a moment map for this action, and then consider…
The J-flow is a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds. It was defined by Donaldson in the setting of moment maps and by Chen as the gradient flow of the J-functional appearing in his formula for the Mabuchi energy. It is shown here that under…
We study the modified $J$-flow introduced in [15], particularly the singularities of the flow using the Calabi symmetry. In [20], on toric manifolds the convergence of modified $J$-flow to the smooth solution was proven under the assumption…
From the work of Dervan-Keller, there exists a quantization of the critical equation for the J-flow. This leads to the notion of J-balanced metrics. We prove that the existence of J-balanced metrics has a purely algebro-geometric…
We show that any topological toric manifold can be covered by finitely many open charts so that all the transition functions between these charts are Laurent monomials of $z_j$'s and $\bar{z}_j$'s. In addition, we will describe toric…
In this paper, we study a family of twisted Calabi flows connecting the $J$-flow and Calabi flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold with a constant scalar curvature (cscK) metric. We show that for any initial data the twisted Calabi flow near…
We study the space of Sasaki metrics on a compact manifold $M$ by introducing an odd-dimensional analogue of the $J$-flow. That leads to the notion of critical metric in the Sasakian context. In analogy to the K\"ahler case, on a polarised…
We define a quantisation of the J-flow over a projective complex manifold. As corollaries, we obtain new proofs of uniqueness of critical points of the J-flow and that these critical points achieve the absolute minimum of an associated…
This paper investigates the twisted Calabi functional and the associated twisted Calabi flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main contributions are threefold: first, we establish the convexity of the twisted Calabi functional at its…
These lecture notes are written for a PhD mini-course I gave at the CIRM in Luminy in 2019. Their intended purpose was to present, in the context of smooth toric varieties, a relatively self-contained and elementary introduction to the…
We investigate how to obtain various flows of K\"ahler metrics on a fixed manifold as variations of K\"ahler reductions of a metric satisfying a given static equation on a higher dimensional manifold. We identify static equations that…
Using methods from symplectic topology, we prove existence of invariant variational measures associated to the flow $\phi_H$ of a Hamiltonian $H\in C^{\infty}(M)$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. These measures coincide with Mather…
In this paper, we study the behavior of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds under algebraic geometric surgeries: extremal transitions or flops. We prove a version of Candelas and de la Ossa's conjecture: Ricci-flat…
We obtain a correspondence between the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a 4-dimensional real torus and the vanishing locus of a certain hyperK\"ahler moment map. This observation gives rise to a new flow, called the modified moment…
In this paper, we shall study the boundary case for the $J$-flow under certain geometric assumptions.
In this note, we discuss the mean curvature flow of graphs of maps between Riemannian manifolds. Special emphasis will be placed on estimates of the flow as a non-linear parabolic system of differential equations. Several global existence…
We study the convergence behavior of the general inverse $\sigma_k$-flow on K\"{a}hler manifolds with initial metrics satisfying the Calabi Ansatz. The limiting metrics can be either smooth or singular. In the latter case, interesting conic…
The J-flow of S. K. Donaldson and X. X. Chen is a parabolic flow on Kahler manifolds with two Kahler metrics. It is the gradient flow of the J-functional which appears in Chen's formula for the Mabuchi energy. We find a positivity condition…
The paper is devoted to the study of topological properties, structure and classification of Morse flows with fixed points on the boundary of three-dimensional manifolds. We construct a complete topological invariant of a Morse flow,…
