We study Kakutani equivalence in the class of unipotent flows acting on finite volume quotients of semisimple Lie groups. For every such flow we compute the Kakutani invariant of M. Ratner, the value of which being explicitly given by the…
We study the standard(zero entropy loosely Bernoulli or loosely Kronecker) property for products of Kochergin smooth flows on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with one singularity. These flows can be represented as special flows over irrational rotations of…
In this paper, we construct a countable partition $\mathscr{A}$ for flows with hyperbolic singularities by introducing a new cross section at each singularity. Such partition forms a Kakutani tower in a neighborhood of the singularity, and…
A von Neumann flow is a special flow over an irrational rotation of the circle and under a piecewise $C^1$ roof function with a non-zero sum of jumps. We prove that the absolute value of the slope is a (measure theoretic) invariant in the…
In this note, we study the problem of uniqueness of Ricci flow on complete noncompact manifolds. We consider the class of solutions with curvature bounded above by C/t when t > 0. In paricular, we proved uniqueness if in addition the…
In this paper we give a criterion for a special flow to be not isomorphic to its inverse which is a refine of a result in \cite{Fr-Ku-Le}. We apply this criterion to special flows $T^f$ built over ergodic interval exchange transformations…
In ergodic theory, two systems are Kakutani equivalent if there exists a conjugacy between induced transformations. In Measured Topological Orbit and Kakutani Equivalence, del Junco, Rudolph, and Weiss defined nearly continuous even…
We consider smooth flows preserving a smooth invariant measure, or, equivalently, locally Hamiltonian flows on compact orientable surfaces and show that, when the genus of the surface is two, almost every such locally Hamiltonian flow with…
We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational $\alpha$ under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a…
We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward -- existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for…
Hamiltonian flows on compact surfaces are characterized, and the topological invariants of such flows with finitely many singular points are constructed from the viewpoints of integrable systems, fluid mechanics, and dynamical systems.…
Given an irrational rotation $T$ on $\M T$ we settle necessary and sufficient conditions on a step function $\phi$ and $t\in \M T$ for the existence of measurable solutions to the cohomogical equation $$\exp{(2i\pi\phi)}=\e{2i\pi t}f/f\rond…
On each compact, connected, orientable surface of genus greater than one we construct a class of flows without self-similarities.
Let $T=(T_t^f)_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ be a special flow built over an IET $T : T \to T$ of bounded type, under a roof function f with symmetric logarithmic singularities at a subset of discontinuities of T. We show that $T$ satisfies so-called…
We study self-similarity problem for two classes of flows: (1) special flows over circle rotations and under roof functions with symmetric logarithmic singularities (2) special flows over interval exchange transformations and under roof…
In this paper, we study the spectral orthogonality problem for special flows built over irrational rotations under two different types of roof functions: 1) the roof functions are real analytic. 2) the roof functions are piecewise $C^1$…
We establish the existence of the K"ahler-Ricci flow on projective varieties with log canonical singularities. This generalizes some of the existence results of Song-Tian \cite{ST3} in case of projective varieties with klt singularities. We…

In this work, we prove uniqueness for complete non-compact Ricci flow with scaling invariant curvature bound. This generalizes the earlier work of Chen-Zhu, Kotschwar and covers most of the example of Ricci flows with unbounded curvature.…
We provide a new proof that the horocycle flow preserving the Margulis measure on a variable negative curvature surface is standard. This was first proved by Ratner. The main purpose of this note is to provide a simplified case of the…
