In this paper, we firstly prove that every hyper-Lagrangian submanifold $L^{2n} (n > 1)$ in a hyperk\"ahler $4n$-manifold is a complex Lagrangian submanifold. Secondly, we demonstrate an optimal rigidity theorem with the condition on the…

We prove some basic properties of Donaldson's flow of surfaces in a hyperkahler 4-manifold. When the initial submanifold is symplectic with respect to one K\"ahler form and Lagrangian with respect to another, we show that certain kinds of…

We provide explicit examples which show that mean convexity (i.e. positivity of the mean curvature) and positivity of the scalar curvature are non-preserved curvature conditions for hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space evolving under either…

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…

In this paper, we study Perelman' s $ \mathcal{W}$ entropy for mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Analogously to Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$-entropy defined for Ricci flow, K. Ecker in \cite{Ecker07} defined a functional $\mathcal{W}$…
