Hermitian, pluriclosed metrics with vanishing Bismut-Ricci form give a natural extension of Calabi-Yau metrics to the setting of complex, non-K\"ahler manifolds, and arise independently in mathematical physics. We reinterpret this condition…
In [8], the gradient conjecture of R. Thom was proven for gradient flows of analytic functions on Rn. This result means that the secant at a limit point converges, so that the flow cannot spiral forever. Once the trajectory becomes…
We study a selection problem for degenerate viscous Hamilton--Jacobi equations with convex Hamiltonians, in which the approximation procedure combines a nonlinear discounted approximation with a small potential perturbation. A key question…
