Following work of Colding-Minicozzi, we define a notion of entropy for connections over $\mathbb R^n$ which has shrinking Yang-Mills solitons as critical points. As in Colding-Minicozzi, this entropy is defined implicitly, making it…
In this note, we derive a stability and weak-strong uniqueness principle for volume-preserving mean curvature flow. The proof is based on a new notion of volume-preserving gradient flow calibrations, which is a natural extension of the…
We consider, in the Aw-Rascle-Zhang traffic flow model, the problem of the asymptotic stability of constant flows. By using a perturbative approach, we show the stability in a larger space of perturbation than previous results. Furthermore,…
In this paper we prove uniform regularity estimates for the normalized Gauss curvature flow in higher dimensions. The convergence of solutions in $C^\infty$-topology to a smooth strictly convex soliton as $t$ approaches to infinity is…
We complement a recent work on the stability of fixed points of the CMC-Einstein-$\Lambda$ flow. In particular, we modify the utilized gauge for the Einstein equations and remove a restriction on the fixed points whose stability we are able…
In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…
We consider the 1-harmonic flow of maps from a bounded domain into a submanifold of a Euclidean space, i.e. the gradient flow of the total variation functional restricted to maps taking values in the manifold. We restrict ourselves to…
We prove stability of rotationally symmetric translating solutions to mean curvature flow. For initial data that converge spatially at infinity to such a soliton, we obtain convergence for large times to that soliton without imposing any…
We consider four extended Ricci flow systems---that is, Ricci flow coupled with other geometric flows---and prove dynamical stability of certain classes of stationary solutions of these flows. The systems include Ricci flow coupled with…
We prove the stability of entropy solutions of nonlinear conservation laws with respect to perturbations of the initial datum, the space-time dependent flux and the entropy inequalities. Such a general stability theorem is motivated by the…
In this work we study properties of stability and non-stability of harmonic maps under the homogeneous Ricci flow. We provide examples where the stability (non-stability) is preserved under the Ricci flow and an example where the Ricci flow…
We study the notion of stochastic stability with respect to diffusive perturbations for flows with smooth invariant measures. We investigate the question fully for non-singular flows on the circle. We also show that volume-preserving flows…
The entropy of a hypersurface is given by the supremum over all F-functionals with varying centers and scales, and is invariant under rigid motions and dilations. As a consequence of Huisken's monotonicity formula, entropy is non-increasing…
Inspired by the idea of Colding-Minicozzi in [CM1], we define (mean curvature flow) entropy for submanifolds in a general ambient Riemannian manifold. In particular, this entropy is equivalent to area growth of a closed submanifold in a…
In this paper, the author discusses the eigenvalues and entropies under the harmonic-Ricci flow, which is the Ricci flow coupled with the harmonic map flow. We give an alternative proof of results for compact steady and expanding…
In this paper we introduce entropy-stability and F-stability for homothetically shrinking Yang-Mills solitons, employing entropy and second variation of $\mathcal{F}$-functional respectively. For a homothetically shrinking soliton which…
