We define a new geometric flow, which we shall call the $K$-flow, on 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds; and study the behavior of Thurston's model geometries under this flow both analytically and numerically. As an example, we show that an…

In this work we derive a class of geometric flow equations for metric-scalar systems. Thereafter, we construct them from some general string frame action by performing volume-preserving fields variations and writing down the associated…

In this article, we treat G_2-geometry as a special case of multisymplectic geometry and make a number of remarks regarding Hamiltonian multivector fields and Hamiltonian differential forms on manifolds with an integrable G_2-structure; in…

We consider $G_{2}$-structures on $7$-manifolds that are warped products of an interval and a six-manifold, which is either a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a nearly K\"{a}hler manifold. We show that in these cases the $G_{2}$-structures are…

Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric…

We define the category of $G_2$-structures over a Riemannian 7-manifold $M$ and present an isomorphism between this category and a full subcategory of the category of octonion algebras over the ring of smooth real-valued functions…

This article consists of some loosely related remarks about the geometry of G_2-structures on 7-manifolds and is partly based on old unpublished joint work with two other people: F. Reese Harvey and Steven Altschuler. Much of this work has…

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of glued manifolds and investigate under which conditions the canonical heat flow on these glued manifolds is ergodic and irreducible. Glued manifolds are metric spaces consisting of manifolds of…

By a perturbation approach, we construct geometric solitons with various vortex structures(vortex pairs, vortex rings) for some geometric flows(Wave maps, Shr\"odinger flows) from Minkowski spaces to ${\mathbb S}^2\subset\R^3$.
