We consider the dynamics of vector fields on three-manifolds which are constrained to lie within a plane field, such as occurs in nonholonomic dynamics. On compact manifolds, such vector fields force dynamics beyond that of a gradient flow,…
In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of asymptotically conical tangent flows in all codimensions. This is based on an early work of Chodosh-Schulze, who proved the uniqueness in the hypersurface case.
In this paper, we prove a pseudolocality-type theorem for $\mathcal L$-complete noncompact Ricci flow which may not have bounded sectional curvature; with the help of it we study the uniqueness of the Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds. In…
We initiate the study of a new nonlinear parabolic equation on a Riemann surface. The evolution equation arises as a reduction of the Anomaly flow on a fibration. We obtain a criterion for long-time existence for this flow, and give a range…
We study a class of fourth order curvature flows on a compact Riemannian manifold, which includes the gradient flows of a number of quadratic geometric functionals, as for instance the L2 norm of the curvature. Such flows can develop a…

We consider the Kaehler-Ricci flow on complete finite-volume metrics that live on the complement of a divisor in a compact Kaehler manifold X. Assuming certain spatial asymptotics on the initial metric, we compute the singularity time in…

It is known that $C^r$ Morse-Smale vector fields form an open dense subset in the space of vector fields on orientable closed surfaces and are structurally stable for any $r \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. In particular, $C^r$ Morse vector fields…
We extend some results known for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow to the Chern-Ricci flow regarding the independence of singularity types for long-time solutions. Specifically, we show that if a solution to the Chern-Ricci flow exists with uniformly…
We derive the equation of self-similar solutions to mean curvature flow based on the generalized Lawson-Osserman cone and prove the existence of self-expanders by modifying the theory of equilibria in the autonomous system. In particular,…
This paper is part of a series of papers on differential geometry of $C^\infty$-ringed spaces. In this paper, we study vector fields and their flows on a class of singular spaces. Our class includes arbitrary subspaces of manifolds, as well…
The traveling waves for surface diffusion of plane curves are studied. We consider an evolving plane curve with two endpoints, which can move freely on the x-axis with generating constant contact angles. For the evolution of this plane…
We establish the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on surfaces with a finite number of conic points, all with cone angle between 0 and $2\pi$, where the cone angles remain fixed or change in some smooth prescribed way. For the…
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…
Given a smooth positive function $F\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{S}^n)$ such that the square of its positive $1$-homogeneous extension on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus \{0\}$ is uniformly convex, the Wulff shape $W_F$ is a smooth uniformly convex…
We prove some basic properties of Donaldson's flow of surfaces in a hyperkahler 4-manifold. When the initial submanifold is symplectic with respect to one K\"ahler form and Lagrangian with respect to another, we show that certain kinds of…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of a $C^{1,1}$ solution of the $Q_k$ flow in the viscosity sense for compact convex hypersurfaces $\Sigma_t$ embedded in $R^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 2$) . In particular, for compact convex hypersurfaces with…
