We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…
We study the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, with $n\geq 2$, starting at some complete bounded curvature rotationally symmetric metric $g_{0}$. We first focus on the case where $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},g_{0})$ does not contain minimal…
The binormal flow is a model for the dynamics of a vortex filament in a 3-D inviscid incompressible fluid. The flow is also related with the classical continuous Heisenberg model in ferromagnetism, and the 1-D cubic Schr\"odinger equation.…
We show that for any solvable Lie group of real type, any homogeneous Ricci flow solution converges in Cheeger-Gromov topology to a unique non-flat solvsoliton, which is independent of the initial left-invariant metric. As an application,…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
We study both the local and global existence of a gradient flow of the Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen entropy functional on a Hilbert manifold of expanding maps of a circle equipped with a Sobolev norm in the tangent space of the manifold. We show…
In this article we consider the length functional defined on the space of immersed planar curves. The $L^2(ds)$ Riemannian metric gives rise to the curve shortening flow as the gradient flow of the length functional. Motivated by the…
In this paper, we will derive a small energy regularity theorem for the mean curvature flow of arbitrary dimension and codimension. It says that if the parabolic integral of $|A|^2$ around a point in space-time is small, then the mean…
We consider the Gauss curvature type flow for uniformly convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\ (n\geqslant 2)$. We prove that if the initial closed hypersurface is smooth and uniformly convex, then the smooth…
We introduce a new geometric flow of Hermitian metrics which evolves an initial metric along the second derivative of the Chern scalar curvature. The flow depends on the choice of a background metric, it always reduces to a scalar equation…
In this article we investigate the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow for a proper metric space endowed with a proper action by isometries of a group with a contracting element. We show that the existence of a contracting isometry is…
We consider the geodesic flow of reversible Finsler metrics on the 2-sphere and the 2-torus, whose geodesic flow has vanishing topological entropy. Following a construction of A. Katok, we discuss examples of Finsler metrics on both…
We show that H\"{o}lder continuous incompressible Euler flows that satisfy the local energy inequality ("globally dissipative" solutions) exhibit nonuniqueness and contain examples that strictly dissipate kinetic energy. The collection of…
Tseytlin has recently proposed that an action functional exists whose gradient generates to all orders in perturbation theory the Renormalization Group (RG) flow of the target space metric in the worldsheet sigma model. The gradient is…
We study singularity formation of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a K\"ahler manifold that admits a horizontally homothetic conformal submersion into another K\"ahler manifold. We will derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the preservation…
In 2004, Manning showed that the topological entropy of the geodesic flow of a closed surface of non-constant negative curvature is strictly decreasing along the normalized Ricci flow, and he asked if an analogous result holds in higher…
We define several notions of singular set for Type I Ricci flows and show that they all coincide. In order to do this, we prove that blow-ups around singular points converge to nontrivial gradient shrinking solitons, thus extending work of…
Based on the idea of a recent paper by Ambrosio-Gigli-Savar\'e in Invent. Math. (2013), we show that flow of the $q$-Cheeger energy, called $q$-heat flow, solves the gradient flow problem of the Renyi entropy functional in the…
In this paper, we show that starting from a geodesic ball $\overline{B_{r_0}}(0)$ in $\mathbb{H}^n$, for $n\geq3$, with prescribed non-decreasing rotationally symmetric mean curvature and the fixed conformal class $[g_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}]$…
It is shown that bounds of all orders of derivative would follow from uniform bounds for the metric and the torsion 1-form, for a flow in non-K\"ahler geometry which can be interpreted as either a flow for the Type IIB string or the Anomaly…
