We show that any ancient solution to the Ricci flow which satisfies a suitable curvature pinching condition must have constant sectional curvature.
We study the behaviour of the Ricci Yang-Mills flow for U(1) bundles on surfaces. We show that existence for the flow reduces to a bound on the isoperimetric constant. In the presence of such a bound, we show that on $S^2$, if the bundle is…
We show that polynomial decay of correlations is prevalent for a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic flows. These flows are the continuous time analogue of a class of nonuniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms for which Young proved polynomial…

In this article we get a time-dependent Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow which generalizes the earlier results of Zhang, Ye, Hsu. As an application of the time-dependent Sobolev inequality, we also get a growth of the ratio of…
In this paper, we study the power of Gaussian curvature flow of a compact convex hypersurface and establish its Harnack inequality when the power is negative. In the Harnack inequality, we require that the absolute value of the power is…
We consider the problem of deforming a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces immersed into closed Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature operator. The hypersurface in this family satisfies mean curvature flow while the ambient metric…
