A geometric flow on $6$-dimensional symplectic manifolds is introduced which is motivated by supersymmetric compactifications of the Type IIA string. The underlying structure turns out to be SU(3) holonomy, but with respect to the projected…
The Type IIA flow is a flow of 3-forms on a 6-dimensional symplectic manifold. It was introduced by Fei, Phong, Picard, and Zhang in \cite{FPPZb}. There is little known about the singularities of this flow in general. We formulate and prove…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of $\mathcal{F}$-harmonic forms and the long-time behavior of the Type IIA flow on certain nilpotent and solvable symplectic Lie algebras (and corresponding nilmanifolds and solvmanifolds). In…
Ancient solutions of the Ricci flow arise naturally as models for singularity formation. There has been significant progress towards the classification of such solutions under natural geometric assumptions. Nonnegatively curved solutions in…
We show that supersymmetric flux vacua with intermediate SU(2) structure is closely related to some special classes of half-flat structures. More concretely, solutions of the SUSY equations IIA possess a symplectic half-flat structure,…
This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…
In this paper the dynamical stability of the Type IIA flow with no source near its stationary points is established. These stationary points had been shown previously by the authors to be Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau 3-folds.…
In this paper, we study the classification of $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to three-dimensional Ricci flow on $S^3$. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of shrinking round spheres, or the Type II ancient…
In this paper, we study the classification of $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to n-dimensional Ricci flow on $S^n$, extending the result in [13] to higher dimensions. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the pluriclosed flow in the case of left-invariant Hermitian structures on Lie groups. We prove that solutions on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups and on almost-abelian Lie groups converge, after a suitable…
We consider compact ancient solutions to the three-dimensional Ricci flow which are noncollapsed. We prove that such a solutions is either a family of shrinking round spheres, or it has a unique asymptotic behavior as $t \to -\infty$ which…
In this paper we study the classification of compact $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to the 3-dimensional Ricci flow which are rotationally and reflection symmetric. We prove that any such solution is isometric to the sphere or the…
We study Ricci flows on $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, that evolve from asymptotically flat initial data. Under mild conditions on the initial data, we show that the flow exists and remains asymptotically flat for an interval of time. The mass is…
We find explicit solutions and singularities of the Ricci-harmonic flow of $\mathrm{G_2}$-structures, the Ricci-like flows of $\mathrm{G_2}$-structures studied by Gianniotis-Zacharopoulos in arXiv:2505.06872 (J. Geom. Anal. 36.2 (2026)) and…
Type IIB toroidal orientifolds are among the earliest examples of flux vacua. By applying T-duality, we construct the first examples of massive IIA flux vacua with Minkowski space-times, along with new examples of type IIA flux vacua. The…
We consider 6-manifolds endowed with a symplectic half-flat SU(3)-structure and acted on by a transitive Lie group G of automorphisms. We review a classical result allowing to show the non-existence of compact non-flat examples. In the…
Recently, J. Streets and G. Tian introduced a natural way to evolve an almost-K\"ahler manifold called the symplectic curvature flow, in which the metric, the symplectic structure and the almost-complex structure are all evolving. We study…
We continue studying a parabolic flow of almost K\"{a}hler structures introduced by Streets and Tian which naturally extends K\"{a}hler-Ricci flow onto symplectic manifolds. In the system of primarily the symplectic form, almost complex…
Let $(M^3,g_0)$ be a complete noncompact Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and with injectivity radius bounded away from zero. Suppose that the scalar curvature $R(x)\to 0$ as $x\to \infty$. Then the Ricci flow with…
Several geometric flows on symplectic manifolds are introduced which are potentially of interest in symplectic geometry and topology. They are motivated by the Type IIA flow and T-duality between flows in symplectic geometry and flows in…
