This paper extends previous work from arxiv:1702.05223, which shows that the main theorem of Morse theory holds for a large class of functions on singular spaces, where the function and the underlying singular space are required to satisfy…

We show, for mean curvature flows in Euclidean space, that if one of the tangent flows at a given space-time point consists of a closed, multiplicity-one, smoothly embedded self-similar shrinker, then it is the unique tangent flow at that…

We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces in $\R^{3}$ and $\R^4$ evolving by a class of constrained surface diffusion flows. Our result, similar to earlier results for the Willmore flow, gives both a positive lower bound on the time for…

This paper deals with a generalized length-preserving flow for convex curves in the plane. It is shown that the flow exists globally and deforms convex curves into circles as time tends to infinity.

In this paper we define and study the moduli space of metric-graph-flows in a manifold M. This is a space of smooth maps from a finite graph to M, which, when restricted to each edge, is a gradient flow line of a smooth (and generically…

In topological data science, categories with a flow have become ubiquitous, including as special cases examples like persistence modules and sheaves. With the flow comes an interleaving distance, which has proven useful for applications. We…

We study the new geometric flow that was introduced in [11] that evolves a pair of map and (domain) metric in such a way that it changes appropriate initial data into branched minimal immersions. In the present paper we focus on the…

We prove a sharp quartic curvature pinching for the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{S}^{n+m}$, $m\ge2$, which generalises Pu's work on the convergence of submanifolds in $\mathbb{S}^{n+m}$ to a round point. Using a blow up argument, we…

Let $(M^{n},g_{0})$ be a $n=3,4,5$ dimensional, closed Riemannian manifold of positive Yamabe invariant. For a smooth function $K>0$ on $M$ we consider a scalar curvature flow, that tends to prescribe $K$ as the scalar curvature of a metric…

We study basic properties of flow equivalence on one-dimensional compact metric spaces with a particular emphasis on isotopy in the group of (self-) flow equivalences on such a space. In particular, we show that an orbit-preserving such map…

We find a canonical decomposition of a geodesic current on a surface of finite type arising from a topological decomposition of the surface along special geodesics. We show that each component either is associated to a measured lamination…

A variant of the Gauss curvature flow for closed and convex hypersurfaces is considered. We reveal that if the initial hypersurface is pinched enough, then this property is preserved. Furthermore, based on some structure assumptions on the…
