In this paper, we extend Lotay-Wei's Shi-type estimate from Laplacian flow to more general flows of G$_2$ structures including the modified Laplacian co-flow. Then we prove a version of $\kappa$-non-collapsing theorem. We will use both of…

We study a flow of $G_2$ structures which induce the same Riemannian metric which is the negative gradient flow of an energy functional. We prove Shi-type estimates for the torsion tensor along the flow. We show that at a finite-time…

In this paper we give local curvature estimates for the Laplacian flow on closed G_2-structures under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. The main ingredient consists of the idea of Kotschwar-Munteanu-Wang who…

We prove short time existence and uniqueness of the Laplacian flow starting at an arbitrary closed $G_2$-structure. We establish long time existence and convergence of the Laplacian flow starting near a torsion-free $G_2$-structure. We…

We construct a uniform local bound of curvature operator from local bounds of Ricci curvature and injectivity radius among all $n$-dimensional Ricci flows. Thus new compactness theorems for the Ricci flow and Ricci solitons are derived. In…

In this article we introduce conformal Bach flow and establish its well-posedness on closed manifolds. We also obtain its backward uniqueness. To give an attempt to study the long-time behavior of conformal Bach flow, assuming that the…

We survey recent progress in the study of $G_{2}$-structure Laplacian coflows, that is, heat flows of co-closed $G_{2}$-structures. We introduce the properties of the original Laplacian coflow of $G_{2}$-structures as well as the modified…

Let (M,\psi(t))_{t\in[0, T]} be a solution of the modified Laplacian coflow (1.3) with coclosed G_{2}-structures on a compact 7-dimensional M. We improve Chen's Shi-type estimate [5] for this flow, and then show that (M,\psi(t),g_{\psi}(t))…

We study a class of fourth order curvature flows on a compact Riemannian manifold, which includes the gradient flows of a number of quadratic geometric functionals, as for instance the L2 norm of the curvature. Such flows can develop a…

We explicitly describe the solution of the G$_2$-Laplacian flow starting from an extremally Ricci-pinched closed G$_2$-structure on a compact 7-manifold and we investigate its properties. In particular, we show that the solution exists for…

We prove short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Laplacian flow for closed $G_2$ structures on a compact manifold $M^7$. The result was claimed in \cite{BryantG2}, but its proof has never appeared.

We study the existence of left invariant closed $G_2$-structures defining a Ricci soliton metric on simply connected nonabelian nilpotent Lie groups. For each one of these $G_2$-structures, we show long time existence and uniqueness of…

We introduce and study a new general flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures which we call the Ricci-harmonic flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures. The flow is the coupling of the Ricci flow of underlying metrics and the isometric flow of…

In this paper, we derive a pinching estimate on the traceless Ricci curvature in term of scalar curvature and the C^{1} norm of the Weyl tensor under the Laplacian G_{2} flow for closed G_{2} structures. Then we apply this estimate to study…

We introduce a geometric flow of conformally coclosed $G_2$-structures, whose fixed points are large volume solutions of the heterotic $G_2$ system, with vanishing scalar torsion class $\tau_0 = 0$. After conformal rescaling, it becomes a…

We develop a refined singularity analysis for the Ricci flow by investigating curvature blow-up rates locally. We first introduce general definitions of Type I and Type II singular points and show that these are indeed the only possible…

We show $L^1$-bounds of the Riemann curvature tensor on a smooth closed $n$-dimensional Ricci flow. To achieve this we introduce the notion of a neck of maximal symmetry, similar to the one in Cheeger-Jiang-Naber and Jiang-Naber and…

In this paper we prove a compactness result for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. It states that given any sequence of such Ricci flows, we can pass to a subsequence that converges to a metric space which is smooth away…

In this paper we present several curvature estimates and convergence results for solutions of the Ricci flow. The curvature estimates depend on smallness of certain local space-time integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor,…
