We study nontrivial entropy invariants in the class of parabolic flows on homogeneous spaces, quasi-unipotent flows. We show that topological complexity (ie, slow entropy) can be computed directly from the Jordan block structure of the…

We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories. This is done by using a minimal coupling argument that leads to an Euler-like equation…

We define two stochastic analogs of a geometric flow on even-dimensional manifolds called $Q$-curvature flow, and use the theory of Dirichlet forms to construct weak solutions to both. The first of these flows, which we call the normalized…

In this paper we introduce the log entropy functional and establish its monotonicity along the Ricci flow. One consequence of it is the monotonicity of the logarithmic Sobolev constant along the Ricci flow.

A large class of variational equations for geometric objects is studied. The results imply conformal monotonicity and Liouville theorems for steady, polytropic, ideal flow, and the regularity of weak solutions to generalized Yang-Mills and…

Building on the work of Eliashberg and Thurston, we associate to a taut foliation on a closed oriented $3$-manifold $M$ a Liouville structure on the thickening $[-1,1] \times M$, under suitable hypotheses. Our main result shows that this…
