We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…
We construct a new compact convex embedded ancient solution of the $\kappa^\alpha$ flow in $\mathbb R^2$, $\alpha\in(\frac12,1)$ that lies between two parallel lines. Using this solution we classify all convex ancient solutions of the…
We establish short-time existence of the smooth solution to the fractional mean curvature flow when the initial set is bounded and C^{1,1}-regular. We provide the same result also for the volume preserving fractional mean curvature flow.
We consider the inverse mean curvature flow by parallel hypersurfaces in space forms. We show that such a flow exists if and only if the initial hypersurface is isoparametric. The flow is characterized by an algebraic equation satisfied by…
In this paper we prove localised weighted curvature integral estimates for solutions to the Ricci flow in the setting of a smooth four dimensional Ricci flow or a closed $n$-dimensional K\"ahler Ricci flow. These integral estimates improve…
In this paper, we study the forced mean curvature flows and the prescribed mean curvature equations of both graphs and level-sets with capillary-type boundary conditions on a $C^3$ bounded domain, which is not necessarily convex. We prove a…
We present a deformation for constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere. We show that the moduli space of equivariant constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere is connected, and we classify the minimal, the embedded, and the Alexandrov…
We show that the classifying space of the flow category of a \emph{tame} Morse function on a smooth, closed manifold $M$ recovers the homotopy type of $M$, thereby addressing a claim in a preprint of Cohen--Jones--Segal. The tameness…
In this paper we define the torsion flow, a CR analogue of the Ricci flow. For homogeneous CR manifolds we give explicit solutions to the torsion flow illustrating various kinds of behavior. We also derive monotonicity formulas for CR…
This paper is devoted to the investigation of gradient flows in asymmetric metric spaces (for example, irreversible Finsler manifolds and Minkowski normed spaces) by means of discrete approximation. We study basic properties of curves and…
In this paper, we investigate $V$-harmonic heat flows from complete Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature to complete Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounded above. We give a gradient estimate of…
In this paper we define and study the moduli space of metric-graph-flows in a manifold M. This is a space of smooth maps from a finite graph to M, which, when restricted to each edge, is a gradient flow line of a smooth (and generically…
Ancient solutions of Lagrangian mean curvature flow in C^n naturally arise as Type II blow-ups. In this extended note we give structural and classification results for such ancient solutions in terms of their blow-down and, motivated by the…
With a view to constructing a Morse/Floer homology theory for CMC hypersurfaces, we prove a compactness result modulo broken trajectories for eternal mean curvature flows with forcing term in compact, hyperbolic manifolds.
The well known formulas express the curvature and the torsion of a curve in $R^3$ in terms of euclidean invariants of its derivatives. We obtain expressions of this kind for all curvatures of curves in $R^n$. It follows that a curve in…
In this paper we classify convex compact ancient solutions to the affine curve shortening flow: namely, any convex compact ancient solution to the affine curve shortening flow must be a shrinking ellipse. The method combines a rescaling…
We consider the graphical mean curvature flow of strictly area decreasing maps $f:M\to N$, where $M$ is a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $m>1$ and $N$ a complete Riemannian surface of bounded geometry. We prove long-time existence…
In this paper, we study two kind of L^2 norm preserved non-local heat flows on closed manifolds. We first study the global existence, stability and asymptotic behavior to such non-local heat flows. Next we give the gradient estimates of…
We derive several mean value formulae on manifolds, generalizing the classical one for harmonic functions on Euclidean spaces as well as later results of Schoen-Yau, Michael-Simon, etc, on curved Riemannian manifolds. For the heat equation…
The Euler equations describing two-dimensional steady flows of an inviscid fluid are studied. These equations are reduced to one equation for the stream function and then, using the Hirota function, solutions of three nonlinear elliptic…
