We show that an attempt to compute numerically a viscous flow in a domain with a piece-wise smooth boundary by straightforwardly applying well-tested numerical algorithms (and numerical codes based on their use, such as COMSOL Multiphysics)…

We prove several results concerning the existence of surfaces of section for the geodesic flows of closed orientable Riemannian surfaces. The surfaces of section $\Sigma$ that we construct are either Birkhoff sections, meaning that they…

We develop a Lie group geometric framework for the motion of fluids with permeable boundaries that extends Arnold's geometric description of fluid in closed domains. Our setting is based on the classical Hamilton principle applied to fluid…

In this paper, we introduce a new constrained mean curvature type flow for capillary boundary hypersurfaces in space forms. We show the flow exists for all time and converges globally to a spherical cap. Moreover, the flow preserves the…

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normal velocity given by a positive power of the mean curvature. The hypersurfaces under consideration are assumed to be strictly mean convex (positive mean curvature),…

There is an extensive and growing body of work analyzing convex ancient solutions to Mean Curvature Flow (MCF), or equivalently of Rescaled Mean Curvature Flow (RMCF). The goal of this paper is to complement the existing literature, which…

The main results of this paper are limit theorems for horocycle flows on compact surfaces of constant negative curvature. One of the main objects of the paper is a special family of horocycle-invariant finitely-additive Hoelder measures on…

In this short paper, we give a new proof of the classification theorem for noncompact ancient noncollapsed flows in $\mathbb{R}^3$ originally due to Brendle-Choi (Inventiones 2019). Our new proof directly establishes selfsimilarity by…

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by smooth functions of the Weingarten map. We introduce the notion of `quasi-ancient' solutions for flows that do not admit non-trivial, convex, ancient…
