We consider a degenerate wave equation in one dimension, with drift and in presence of a leading operator which is not in divergence form. We impose a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition where the degeneracy occurs and a boundary…

In this paper, we study degenerate entry-exit problems associated with planar slow-fast systems having an invariant line $\{(x,y)\,:\,y=0\}$ with a turning point at $x=0$. The degeneracy stems from the fact that the slow flow has a…

We address the question whether a singularity in a three-dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid flow can occur in finite time. Analytical considerations and numerical simulations suggest high-symmetry flows being a promising candidate…

In this paper, we study the long time dynamics of small solutions to Schr\"odinger map flows from $\Bbb R$ to Riemannian surfaces. The results are threefold. (i) We prove that for general Riemannian surface targets the points with some…

We prove that a Ricci flow cannot develop a finite time singularity assuming the boundedness of a suitable space-time integral norm of the curvature tensor. Moreover, the extensibility of the flow is proved under a Ricci lower bound and the…

We consider a mean curvature flow in a cylinder with Robin boundary conditions, which can be used to model the interface motion in singular limit problems of the Allen-Cahn equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. It was shown in…

We introduce a notion of viscosity solutions for a nonlinear degenerate diffusion equation with a drift potential. We show that our notion of solutions coincide with the weak solutions defined via integration by parts. As an application of…

We study the curve shortening flow on Riemann surfaces with finitely many conformal conical singularities. If the initial curve is passing through the singular points, then the evolution is governed by a degenerate quasilinear parabolic…

We study the one loop renormalization group flow of the marginal deformations of N=4 SYM theory using the a-function. We found that in the planar limit some non-supersymmetric deformations flow to the supersymmetric infrared fixed points…

We study the flow $M_t$ of a smooth, strictly convex hypersurface by its mean curvature in $\mathrm{R}^{n+1}$. The surface remains smooth and convex, shrinking monotonically until it disappears at a critical time $T$ and point $x^*$ (which…

A finite-time singularity of 2D harmonic map flow will be called "strictly type-II" if the outer energy scale satisfies $\lambda(t) = O(T - t)^{\frac{1 + \alpha}{2}}.$ We prove that the body map at a strict type-II blowup is H\"older…

We consider the evolution of open planar curves by the steepest descent flow of a geometric functional, under different boundary conditions. We prove that, if any set of stationary solutions with fixed energy is finite, then a solution of…
