Streets and Tian introduced pluriclosed flow and symplectic curvature flow in recent years. Here we construct a curvature flow to unify these two flows. We show the short time existence of our flow and exhibit an obstruction to long time…
We study a variant of the mean curvature flow for closed, convex hypersurfaces where the normal velocity is a nonhomogeneous function of the principal curvatures. We show that if the initial hypersurface satisfies a certain pinching…
In this paper, we first consider the curve case of Hu-Li-Wei's flow for shifted principal curvatures of h-convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ proposed in [10]. We prove that if the initial closed curve is smooth and strictly…
We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups ${\rm GA}(2)={\rm GL}(2,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^2$ and ${\rm GA}(3)={\rm GL}(3,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^3$,…

We study the evolution of complete non-compact convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ by the inverse mean curvature flow. We establish the long time existence of solutions and provide the characterization of the maximal time of…
We consider the $Q_k$ flow on complete non-compact graphs. We prove that a complete graph evolves by the $Q_k$ curvature up to some time $T$ depending on the radius of a sphere enclosed by the initial graph.
In this paper, we extend the method developed in [17, 18] to curves in the Minkowski plane. The method proposes a way to study deformations of plane curves taking into consideration their geometry as well as their singularities. We deal in…
We consider a volume preserving curvature evolution of surfaces in an asymptotically Euclidean initial data set with positive ADM-energy. The speed is given by a nonlinear function of the mean curvature which generalizes the spacetime mean…
It is well-known that the circulation of the velocity field of a fluid along a closed material curve is conserved for any solution of the Euler equation. We offer a slightly more explicit proof of that fact than that generally found in the…
It is a fundamental open problem for the mean curvature flow, and in fact for many partial differential equations, whether or not all blowup limits are selfsimilar. In this short note, we prove that for the mean curvature flow of mean…
Given two disjoint nested embedded closed curves in the plane, both evolving under curve shortening flow, we show that the modulus of the enclosed annulus is monotonically increasing in time. An analogous result holds within any ambient…
