This work addresses the {\em singularity formation} of complete non-compact solutions to the conformally flat Yamabe flow whose conformal factors have {\em cylindrical behavior at infinity}. Their singularity profiles happen to be {\em…
We continue studying a parabolic flow of almost K\"{a}hler structures introduced by Streets and Tian which naturally extends K\"{a}hler-Ricci flow onto symplectic manifolds. In the system of primarily the symplectic form, almost complex…
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 develop an abstract theory of flows of geometric $H$-structures, i.e., flows of tensor fields defining $H$-reductions of the frame bundle, for a closed and connected subgroup $H\subset SO(n)$, on any connected and oriented $n$-manifold…
This work utilizes soft-particle discrete element simulations to examine the rheology of steady two-dimensional granular flows with reference to a unidirectional shear flow, which has been extensively employed for validating the local…
We introduce and study a one-parameter family of curve diffusion flows with a scale-critical cubic curvature term for closed immersed planar curves. We first classify all closed stationary solutions, showing that they are precisely circles…
Suppose that a closed $1$-rectifiable set $\Gamma_0\subset \mathbb R^2$ of finite $1$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and a vector field $u$ in a dimensionally critical Sobolev space are given. It is proved that, starting from $\Gamma_0$,…
We show uniqueness of cylindrical blowups for mean curvature flow in all dimension and all codimension. Cylindrical singularities are known to be the most important; they are the most prevalent in any codimension. Mean curvature flow in…
This paper studies singularities of mean curvature flows with integral mean curvature bounds $H \in L^\infty L^p_{loc}$ for some $p \in ( n, \infty]$. For such flows, any tangent flow is given by the flow of a stationary cone $\mathbf{C}$.…
We consider one of the generic regimes of formation of singularities. We obtain a detailed description of a possibly small, but fixed, neighborhood of the blowup point, up to (and including) the blowup time, and find that it is mean convex.…
In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…
In this paper we prove two backward uniqueness theorems for extrinsic geometric flow of possibly non-compact hypersurfaces in general ambient complete Riemannian manifolds. These are applicable to a wide range of extrinsic geometric flow,…
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 combine the work of Ilmanen and of Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi to observe a uniqueness property for tangent flows at the first singular time of a smooth mean curvature flow of a closed surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean…
In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…
In this note we investigate the behaviour at finite-time singularities of the mean curvature flow of compact Riemannian submanifolds M^m_t\hookrightarrow (N^{m+n}, h). We show that they are characterized by the blow-up of a trace A = H…
Michor and Mumford showed that the mean curvature flow is a gradient flow on a Riemannian structure with a degenerate geodesic distance. It is also known to destroy the uniform density of gridpoints on the evolving surfaces. We introduce a…
We propose a construction of mean curvature flows by approximation for very general initial data, in the spirit of the works of Brakke and of Kim & Tonegawa based on the theory of varifolds. Given a general varifold, we construct by…
We show existence of ancient solutions to the rescaled mean curvature flow starting from a given asymptotically conical self-expander. These are examples of mean curvature flows coming out of cones that are not self-similar. We also show a…
Let \Sigma be a compact oriented surface immersed in a four dimensional K\"ahler-Einstein manifold M. We consider the evolution of \Sigma in the direction of its mean curvature vector. It is proved that being symplectic is preserved along…
