The entropy functional introduced by Colding and Minicozzi plays a fundamental role in the analysis of mean curvature flow. However, unlike the hypersurface case, relatively little about the entropy is known in the higher-codimension case.…
We introduce a family of functionals on submanifolds of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds that generalize the Colding-Minicozzi entropy of submanifolds of Euclidean space. We show that these functionals are monotone under mean curvature flow under…
In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…
In this paper, we first use the method of Colding and Minicozzi [5] to show that K. Smoczyk's classification theorem [16] for complete self-shrinkers in higher codimension also holds under a weaker condition. Then as an application, we give…
This note introduces a notion of entropy for submanifolds of hyperbolic space analogous to the one introduced by Colding and Minicozzi for submanifolds of Euclidean space. Several properties are proved for this quantity including…
Self-shrinkers model singularities of the mean curvature flow; they are defined as the special solutions that contract homothetically under the flow. Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi showed that cylindrical self-shrinkers are rigid in a strong…
Inspired by the idea of Colding-Minicozzi in [CM1], we define (mean curvature flow) entropy for submanifolds in a general ambient Riemannian manifold. In particular, this entropy is equivalent to area growth of a closed submanifold in a…
A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…
We obtain monotonicity properties for minima and stable solutions of general energy functionals of the type $$ \int F(\nabla u, u, x) dx $$ under the assumption that a certain integral grows at most quadratically at infinity. As a…
We examine some common features of minimal surfaces, nonzero constant mean curvature surfaces and marginally outer trapped surfaces, concerning their stability and rigidity, and consider some applications to Riemannian geometry and general…
Self-shrinkers are the special solutions of mean curvature flow in $\mathbf{R}^{n+1}$ that evolve by shrinking homothetically; they serve as singularity models for the flow. The entropy of a hypersurface introduced by Colding-Minicozzi is a…
Shrinkers are special solutions of mean curvature flow (MCF) that evolve by rescaling and model the singularities. While there are infinitely many in each dimension, [CM1] showed that the only generic are round cylinders $\SS^k\times…
We prove some boundary rigidity results for the hemisphere under a lower bound for Ricci curvature. The main result can be viewed as the Ricci version of a conjecture of Min-Oo.
In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some…
We prove local versions of the Ricci curvature and $\nu$-entropy gap theorems for Ricci shrinkers, which respectively generalize a previous result of Munteanu-Wang and a prior result of the authors with Ma. The key point is that these local…
In this paper we prove a compactness result for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. It states that given any sequence of such Ricci flows, we can pass to a subsequence that converges to a metric space which is smooth away…
We prove minimal entropy rigidity for complete, finite volume manifolds locally isometric to a product of rank one symmetric spaces of dimension at least 3: the locally symmetric metric uniquely minimizes (normalized) entropy among all…
In this paper we develop the compactness theorem for $\lambda$-surface in $\mathbb R^3$ with uniform $\lambda$, genus, and area growth. This theorem can be viewed as a generalization of Colding-Minicozzi's compactness theorem for…
In this paper, we study the rigidity and {\epsilon}-regularity theorems of Ricci shrinkers. First we prove the rigidity of the asymptotic volume ratio and local volume around a base point of a non-compact Ricci shrinker. Next we obtain some…
We survey several notions of entropy related to a compact manifold of negative curvature, some relations between them, and the rigidity problems.
