We address in this paper the study of a geometric evolution, corresponding to a curvature which is non-local and singular at the origin. The curvature represents the first variation of the energy recently proposed as a variant of the…
We study the geodesic flow on the cotangent bundle of a Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime (M, g). On this bundle, the HamiltonJacobi equation is completely separable and this separability leads us to construct four linearly independent…
We study flows of $G_2$-structures guided by the principle of dimensional reduction: natural geometric flows in $G_2$-geometry reduce to natural flows in complex geometry. Our main examples are the $G_2$-Laplacian coflow, which lifts the…
It is well-known that the mean curvature flow is a formal gradient flow of the perimeter functional. However, by the work of Michor and Mumford [7,8], the formal Riemannian structure that is compatible with the gradient flow structure…
In this paper, we study the $k$-Hessian curvature flow of noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski space. We first prove the existence of translating solutions with given asymptotic behavior. Then, we prove that for strictly convex…
We study the evolution of compact convex curves in two-dimensional space forms. The normal speed is given by the difference of the weighted inverse curvature with the support function, and in the case where the ambient space is the…
In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional hyperbolic mean curvature flow for closed plane curves. We show that there exists a class of initial velocities such that the solution of the corresponding initial value problem exists only…
The central result about fast rotating-flow structures is the Taylor-Proudman theorem (TPT) which connects various aspects of the dynamics. Taylor's geometrical proof of TPT is reproduced and extended substantially, with Lie's theory for…
A conjecture by Rafla from 1988 asserts that every simple drawing of the complete graph $K_n$ admits a plane Hamiltonian cycle. It turned out that already the existence of much simpler non-crossing substructures in such drawings is hard to…
We show the existence of a properly immersed translating solution to curve diffusion flow in the plane. Curve diffusion flow is a higher order version of curve shortening flow, namely \[ \left( \frac{dX}{dt}\right) ^{\perp}=-\kappa_{ss}N.…
In this work, we propose a new evolving geometric flow (called translating mean curvature flow) for the translating solitons of hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$. We study the basic properties, such as positivity preserving property, of the…
Three geometric formulations of the Hamiltonian structure of the macroscopic Maxwell equations are given: one in terms of the double de Rham complex, one in terms of L2 duality, and one utilizing an abstract notion of duality. The final of…
In this paper we introduce a new geometric flow --- the hyperbolic gradient flow for graphs in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. This kind of flow is new and very natural to understand the geometry of manifolds. We…
We consider a stationary Poisson process of $k$-planes in the $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^d$ of constant curvature $-1$, with $d \ge 4$ and $1 \le k \le d-1$. It is known that, after centring and normalization, the total…
We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow of left-invariant metrics on complex 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. In this setting we completely characterize the long-time behaviour of the flow, showing that normalized solutions to the flow…
We obtain explicit solutions of the mean curvature flow in some submanifolds of the Euclidean space. We give particularly an explicit solution of the flow of a hypersurface in the Lagrangian self-expander $L$ which is constructed in the…
Under mean radius of curvature flow, a closed convex surface in Euclidean space is known to expand exponentially to infinity. In the 3-dimensional case we prove that the oriented normals to the flowing surface converge to the oriented…
A single incompressible, inviscid, irrotational fluid medium bounded by a free surface and varying bottom is considered. The Hamiltonian of the system is expressed in terms of the so-called Dirichlet-Neumann operators. The equations for the…
We demonstrate the common bihamiltonian nature of several integrable systems. The first one is an elliptic rotator that is an integrable Euler-Arnold top on the complex group GL(N) for any $N$, whose inertia ellipsiod is related to a choice…
Hyperbolic curvature flow is a geometric evolution equation that in the plane can be viewed as the natural hyperbolic analogue of curve shortening flow. It was proposed by Gurtin and Podio-Guidugli (1991) to model certain wave phenomena in…
