The idea that the knottedness (hydrodynamic Helicity) of a fluid flow is conserved has a long history in fluid mechanics. The quintessential example of a knotted flow is a knotted vortex filament, however, owing to experimental…
We introduce a dynamical energy functional on compact ancient asymptotically Ricci-flat Ricci flows with modest decay using limits of conjugate heat flows. This functional satisfies a steady Ricci breather-type rigidity and provides an…
