The group Spin(7) belongs to the list of possible holonomy of an eight-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The weaker notion of Spin(7)-structures plays for manifolds with holonomy Spin(7), the analogue of almost Hermitian for K{\"a}hler…
We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new results on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat…
The Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow deforms both a map from an oriented closed surface $M$ into an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold, and a constant curvature metric on $M$, so as to reduce the energy of the map as quickly as possible…

We propose a novel weak solution theory for the Mullins-Sekerka equation primarily motivated from a gradient flow perspective. Previous existence results on weak solutions due to Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker (Calc. Var. PDE 3, 1995) or…
In this paper, we consider the heat flow for p-pseudoharmonic maps from a closed Sasakian manifold M into a compact Riemannian manifold N. We prove global existence and asymptotic convergence of the solution for the p-pseudoharmonic map…
