We show that mean curvature flow translators may exhibit non-removable singularities at infinity, due to jump discontinuities in their asymptotic profiles, and that oscillation can persist so as to yield a continuum of subsequential limit…

In this note we consider asymptotically flat manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature and an inner boundary which is an outermost minimal surface. We show that there exists an upper bound on the mean curvature of a constant mean…

In this paper, we prove the compactness theorem for gradient Ricci solitons. Let $(M_{\alpha}, g_{\alpha})$ be a sequence of compact gradient Ricci solitons of dimension $n\geq 4$, whose curvatures have uniformly bounded $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$…

We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…

In this paper we prove a strong maximum principle for certain parabolic systems of equations. In particular, our methods place no restriction on the regularity of the boundary of the convex set in which the system takes its values, and…

We study the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\R^{n+1}$, with initial surfaces sufficiently close to the standard $n$-dimensional sphere. The closeness is in the Sobolev norm with the index greater than $\frac{n}{2}+1$ and therefore…

We prove a strong Frankel theorem for mean curvature flow shrinkers in all dimensions: Any two shrinkers in a sufficiently large ball must intersect. In particular, the shrinker itself must be connected in all large balls. The key to the…

We present new examples of complete embedded self-similar surfaces under mean curvature by gluing a sphere and a plane. These surfaces have finite genus and are the first examples of self-shrinkers in $\mathbb R^3$ that are not rotationally…

We establish that unitarity of scattering amplitudes imposes universal entropy bounds. The maximal entropy of a self-sustained quantum field object of radius R is equal to its surface area and at the same time to the inverse running…
