We present an introduction to the study of a relativistic particle moving under the influence of its own Frenet-Serret curvatures. With the aim of introducing the notation and conventions used in this paper, we first recall the action of a…
We study the evolution of curves with fixed length and clamped boundary conditions moving by the negative $L^2$-gradient flow of the elastic energy. For any initial curve lying merely in the energy space we show existence and parabolic…

During the evolution of density inhomogeneties in an $\Omega=1$, matter dominated universe, the typical density contrast changes from $\delta\simeq 10^{-4}$ to $\delta\simeq 10^2$. However, during the same time, the typical value of the…

Perhaps the most basic question we can ask about cosmological correlations is how their strength changes as we smoothly vary kinematic parameters. The answer is encoded in differential equations that govern this evolution in kinematic…
We show short time existence and uniqueness of $\C^{1,1}$ solutions to the mean curvature flow with obstacles, when the obstacles are of class $\C^{1,1}$. If the initial interface is a periodic graph we show long time existence of the…
We study a geometric flow where the motion of a set is driven by the mean curvature of its boundary and the normal derivative of its capacity potential. We establish local well-posedness and propose two possible weak formulations that exist…
In this paper, we will study the following geometric flow, obtained by Goldstein and Petrich while considering the evolution of a vortex patch in the plane under Euler's equations, X_t = -k_s n - (1/2) k^2 T, with s being the arc-length…
We consider two types of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation in 2D bounded domains: the heat-flow equation and the Schroedinger equation. The system of ordinary differential equations is obtained that describes the evolution of the…
In this paper we study the $L^2$-gradient flow of the penalized elastic energy on networks of $q$-curves in $\R^{n}$ for $q \geq 3$. Each curve is fixed at one end-point and at the other is joint to the other curves at a movable…
We study a geometric flow on curves, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that have strictly positive torsion. The evolution equation is given by $$X_{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\tau}} \textbf{B}$$ where $\tau$ is the torsion and $\textbf{B}$ is the unit…
