Given any embedded Lagrangian on a four dimensional compact Calabi-Yau, we find another Lagrangian in the same Hamiltonian isotopy class which develops a finite time singularity under mean curvature flow. This contradicts a weaker version…
The search of finite-time singularity solutions of Euler equations is considered for the case of an incompressible and inviscid fluid. Under the assumption that a finite-time blow-up solution may be spatially anisotropic as time goes by…
Parabolic geometric flows have the property of smoothing for short time however, over long time, singularities are typically unavoidable, can be very nasty and may be impossible to classify. The idea of this paper is that, by bringing in…
We develop foundational theory for the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures which will be essential for future study. (1). We prove Shi-type derivative estimates for the Riemann curvature tensor Rm and torsion tensor T along the flow,…
We analyze the effects of order parameter fluctuations on the ground state of fully gapped charge-neutral fermionic superfluids. The Goldstone mode associated with the spontaneously broken symmetry leads to a problem of coupled…
The relativistic membrane equation can be rewritten as a first order hyperbolic system. Making use of the characteristic decomposition method, a new blow-up theorem is established. As an application, it demonstrates the formation of…
In this note we study the singular vanishing-viscosity limit of a gradient flow set in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space and driven by a smooth, but possibly non convex, time-dependent energy functional. We resort to ideas and techniques…
The process of breaking of inviscid incompressible flows along a rigid body with slipping boundary conditions is studied. Such slipping flows are compressible, which is the main reason for the formation of a singularity for the gradient of…
We study classical solutions of one dimensional rotating shallow water system which plays an important role in geophysical fluid dynamics. The main results contain two contrasting aspects. First, when the solution crosses certain threshold,…
We consider the surface diffusion and Willmore flows acting on a general class of (possibly non-compact) hypersurfaces parameterized over a uniformly regular reference manifold possessing a tubular neighborhood with uniform radius. The…
We consider fully discrete numerical approximations for axisymmetric Willmore flow that are unconditionally stable and work reliably without remeshing. We restrict our attention to surfaces without boundary, but allow for spontaneous…
We derive an upper bound on the waiting time for a variational weak solution to Inverse Mean Curvature Flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ to become star-shaped. As a consequence, we demonstrate that any connected surface moving by the flow which is…
We study the umbilic points of Willmore surfaces in codimension 1 from the viewpoint of the conformal Gauss map. We first study the local behaviour of the conformal Gauss map near umbilic curves and prove that they are geodesics up to a…
We show that any smooth closed immersed curve in $\mathbb R^n$ with a one-to-one convex projection onto some $2$-plane develops a Type~I singularity and becomes asymptotically circular under Curve Shortening flow in $\mathbb R^n$. As an…
While several articles have been written on water waves on flows with constant vorticity, little is known about the extent to which a nonconstant vorticity affects the flow structure, such as the appearance of stagnation points. In order to…
A laterally confined thin elastic sheet lying on a liquid substrate displays regular undulations, called wrinkles, characterized by a spatially extended energy distribution and a well-defined wavelength $\lambda$. As the confinement…
A closed surface evolving under mean curvature flow becomes singular in finite time. Near the singularity, the surface resembles a self-shrinker, a surface that shrinks by dilations under mean curvature flow. If the singularity is modeled…
Relativistic and non-relativistic fluid equations can exhibit finite time singular solutions including density singularities appearing in collapse or compression systems and gradient singularities in shock waves. However, only the…
Under certain conditions such as the $2$-convexity, a singularity of the level set flow is of type I (in the sense that the rate of curvature blow-up is constrained before and after the singular time) if and only if the flow shrinks to…
In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. By means of elementary arguments, we prove that such a singularity cannot occur in finite time for vortex sheet…
