Chen's flow is a fourth-order curvature flow motivated by the spectral decomposition of immersions, a program classically pushed by B.-Y. Chen since the 1970s. In curvature flow terms the flow sits at the critical level of scaling together…

The Chern number has been widely used to describe the topological properties of periodic structures in the momentum space. Here, we introduce a real-space spin Chern number for the optical near fields of finite-sized structures. This new…

In this lecture notes, we aim at giving an introduction to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow (KRF) on Fano manifolds. It covers some of the developments of the KRF in its first twenty years (1984-2003), especially an essentially self-contained…

We explain a characterization of Einstein-Fano manifolds in terms of the lower bound of the density of the volume of the K\"ahler-Ricci Flow. This is a direct consequence of Perelman's uniform estimate for the K\"ahler-Ricci Flow and a…

The twistor space \Z of an oriented Riemannian 4-manifold M admits a natural 1-parameter family of Riemannian metrics h_t compatible with the almost complex structures J_1 and J_2 introduced, respectively, by Atiyah, Hitchin and Singer, and…

We establish a link between symplectic topology and a recently emerged branch of functional analysis called the theory of quasi-states and quasi-measures. In the symplectic context quasi-states can be viewed as an algebraic way of packaging…

Let $(M,g,J,\omega)$ be an almost K\"{a}hler manifold. For any smooth function $f$ on $M$, one can associate an automorphism $\psi\in \mbox{Aut}(TM)$ for which the K\"{a}hler form is invariant. Using $\psi$, one can ``twist" the metric $g$…

We simplify and improve the curvature estimates in the paper: On the conditions to extend Ricci flow(II). Furthermore, we develop some volume estimates for the Ricci flow with bounded scalar curvature. These estimates can be applied to…

For every closed set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and every $m \geq 2$, we construct a mean-convex ancient solution to mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, with respect to a smooth Riemannian metric arbitrarily…

We study Hamiltonian systems near a compact symplectic Morse-Bott minimum. Our first result shows that if the flow is Zoll (that is, it induces a free circle action) along a sequence of energy levels converging to the minimum, then the…

Mean curvature flow is the most natural evolution equation in extrinsic geometry, and shares many features with Hamilton's Ricci flow from intrinsic geometry. In this lecture series, I will provide an introduction to the mean curvature flow…

In this paper we study a generalization of the Kahler-Ricci flow, in which the Ricci form is twisted by a closed, non-negative (1,1)-form. We show that when a twisted Kahler-Einstein metric exists, then this twisted flow converges…
