In this article we show that generally almost regular flows, introduced by Bamler and Kleiner, in closed 3-manifolds will either go extinct in finite time or flow to a collection of smooth embedded minimal surfaces, possibly with…

We prove the Benjamin and Lighthill conjecture for all two-dimensional steady water waves with an arbitrary vorticity distribution. We show that the flow force constant of an arbitrary smooth wave is bounded by the corresponding flow force…

The periodic orbit conjecture states that, on closed manifolds, the set of lengths of the orbits of a non-vanishing vector field all whose orbits are closed admits an upper bound. This conjecture is known to be false in general due to a…

We employ the Ricci flow to derive a new theorem about Gromov almost flat manifolds, which generalizes and strengthens the celebrated Gromov--Ruh Theorem. In our theorem, the condition $diam^2 |K| \leq \epsilon_n$ in the Gromov--Ruh Theorem…

We consider a parabolic-like systems of differential equations involving geometrical quantities to examine uniformization theorems for two- and three-dimensional closed orientable manifolds. We find that in the two-dimensional case there is…

We prove that, in the flat torus and in any dimension, the volume-preserving mean curvature flow and the surface diffusion flow, starting $C^{1,1}-$close to a strictly stable critical set of the perimeter $E$, exist for all times and…

We prove a mathematical theorem that solution for all $t > 0$ of the two-dimensional (2D) Kolmogorov flow governed by Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with periodic boundary condition keeps the same spatial symmetry as its smooth initial…

This paper goes some way in explaining how to construct an integrable hierarchy of flows on the space of conformally immersed tori in n-space. These flows have first occured in mathematical physics -- the Novikov-Veselov and…

Frequently observed divergence of numerical solutions to benchmark flows of the UCM viscoelastic fluid is a known and widely discussed issue. Some authors consider such singularities "invincible". The article argues this position, to which…

We consider bifurcation of critical points from a trivial branch for families of functionals that are invariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group. Based on a recent construction of an equivariant spectral flow by the…

It is well known that plane curves with the same endpoints are homotopic. An analogous claim for plane curves with the same endpoints and bounded curvature still remains open. In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for two…

The spectra of parallel flows (that is, flows governed by first-order differential operators parallel to one direction) are investigated, on both $L^2$ spaces and weighted-$L^2$ spaces. As a consequence, an example of a flow admitting a…

Let f be a smooth map between unit spheres of possibly different dimensions. We prove the global existence and convergence of the mean curvature flow of the graph of f under various conditions. A corollary is that any area-decreasing map…

In this paper, we introduce a new parabolic equation on K\"ahler manifolds. The static point of this flow is related to the existence of a lower bound of the Mabuchi energy. In this paper, we prove the flow always exists for all times for…

We prove continuity properties for the flow map associated to the defocusing energy-subcritical power-like nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation, when the power varies. We show local in time continuity in the energy space for any power, and…

We study the topological entropy of the magnetic flow on a closed riemannian surface. We prove that if the magnetic flow has a non-hyperbolic closed orbit in some energy set T^cM= E^{-1}(c), then there exists an exact $…

Homeomorphisms allowing us to prove topological equivalences between one-parameter families of maps undergoing the same bifurcation are constructed in this paper. This provides a solution for a classical problem in bifurcation theory that…

We are interested in an anisotropic singular diffusion equation in the plane and in its regularization. We establish existence, uniqueness and basic regularity of solutions to both equations. We construct explicit solutions showing the…

In this paper the authors study the hyperbolic geometric flow on Riemann surfaces. This new nonlinear geometric evolution equation was recently introduced by the first two authors motivated by Einstein equation and Hamilton's Ricci flow. We…

Let f:\Sigma_1 --> \Sigma_2 be a map between compact Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. This article considers the evolution of the graph of f in the product of \Sigma_1 and \Sigma_2 by the mean curvature flow. Under suitable…
