Generalizing a result of Furstenberg, we show that for every infinite discrete group $G$, the Bernoulli flow $2^G$ is disjoint from every minimal $G$-flow. From this, we deduce that the algebra generated by the minimal functions…
We first define Pseudo-Calabi flow, as {equation*} {{aligned}{{\partial \varphi}\over {\partial t}}&= -f(\varphi), \triangle_varphi f(\varphi) &= S(\varphi) - \ul S.{aligned}. \end{equation*} Then we prove the well-posedness of this flow…
Let $\pi\colon\mathscr{X}\rightarrow\mathscr{Y}$ be an extension of minimal compact metric flows such that $\texttt{R}_\pi\not=\Delta_X$. A subflow of $\texttt{R}_\pi$ is called an M-flow if it is T.T. and contains a dense set of a.p.…
Let ${\mathfrak C}$ be a monster model of an arbitrary theory $T$, $\bar \alpha$ any tuple of bounded length of elements of ${\mathfrak C}$, and $\bar c$ an enumeration of all elements of ${\mathfrak C}$. By $S_{\bar \alpha}({\mathfrak C})$…
In this paper we study almost proximal extensions of minimal flows. Let $\pi: (X,T)\rightarrow (Y,T)$ be an extension of minimal flows. $\pi$ is called an almost proximal extension if there is some $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that the…
In this paper, we show that the action of a characteristically simple, non-extremely amenable (non-strongly amenable, non-amenable) group on its universal minimal (minimal proximal, minimal strongly proximal) flow is effective. We present…
Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, identified with a real algebraic subgroup of $\mathrm{UT}(n,\mathbb{R})$, and let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, with $\pi:G\to G/\Gamma$ the quotient map. For a semi-algebraic…
In this paper we study the pseudolocality theorems of Ricci flows on incomplete manifolds. We prove that if a ball with its closure contained in an incomplete manifold has the small scalar curvature lower bound and almost Euclidean…
X. Hou, H.-J. Lai, P. Li and C.-Q. Zhang [J. Graph Theory 69 (2012) 464-470] showed that for a simple graph $G$ with $|V(G)|\ge 44$, if $\min\{\delta(G),\delta(G^c)\}\ge 4$, then either $G$ or its complementary graph $G^c$ has a…
Let $S$ be an infinite discrete semigroup. The operation on $S$ extends uniquely to the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta S$ making $\beta S$ a compact right topological semigroup with $S$ contained in its topological center. As such,…
In this paper, we study Ricci flow on compact manifolds with a continuous initial metric. It was known from Simon that the Ricci flow exists for a short time. We prove that the scalar curvature lower bound is preserved along the Ricci flow…
Here we characterize regular and completely regular ordered semigroups by their minimal bi-ideals. A minimal bi-ideal is expressed as a product of a minimal right ideal and a minimal left ideal. Furthermore, we show that every bi-ideal in a…
When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…
This article grew out of the urge to realize explicit examples of solutions for the Ricci flow as families of isometrically embedded submanifolds, together with its Gromov-Hausdorff collapses. To this aim, we consider the Ricci flow of…
A semigroup $S$ is said to be right pseudo-finite if the universal right congruence can be generated by a finite set $U\subseteq S\times S$, and there is a bound on the length of derivations for an arbitrary pair $(s,t)\in S\times S$ as a…
A $k$-weak bisection of a cubic graph $G$ is a partition of the vertex-set of $G$ into two parts $V_1$ and $V_2$ of equal size, such that each connected component of the subgraph of $G$ induced by $V_i$ ($i=1,2$) is a tree of at most $k-2$…
Given a countable group $G$ and a $G$-flow $X$, a measure $\mu\in P(X)$ is called characteristic if it is $\mathrm{Aut}(X, G)$-invariant. Frisch and Tamuz asked about the existence of a minimal $G$-flow, for any group $G$, which does not…
In this work, we use the Ricci flow approach to study the gap phenomenon of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative curvature and sub-critical scaling invariant curvature decay. The first main result is a quantitative Ricci flow existence…
We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…
Using a recently developed piecewise flat method, numerical evolutions of the Ricci flow are computed for a number of manifolds, using a number of different mesh types, and shown to converge to the expected smooth behaviour as the mesh…
