In this note, we study a degenerate twisted J-flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. We show that it exists for all time, it is unique and converges to a weak solution of a degenerate twisted J-equation. In particular, this confirms an…
Using methods from symplectic topology, we prove existence of invariant variational measures associated to the flow $\phi_H$ of a Hamiltonian $H\in C^{\infty}(M)$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. These measures coincide with Mather…
Suppose $G$ is a compact Lie group, $H$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, and the homogeneous space $G/H$ is connected. The paper investigates the Ricci flow on a manifold $M$ diffeomorphic to $[0,1]\times G/H$. First, we prove a short-time…
Collapsed ancient solutions to the homogeneous Ricci flow on compact manifolds occur only on the total space of principal torus bundles. Under an algebraic assumption that guarantees flowing through diagonal metrics and a tameness…
In this paper, we set up a new Yamabe type flow on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n\geq 3$. Let $\psi(x)$ be any smooth function on $M$. Let $p=\frac{n+2}{n-2}$ and $c_n=\frac{4(n-1)}{n-2}$. We study the Yamabe-type…
This is a continuation of the research in [16]. Let $(\overline{M},g_{-1})$ be a closed geodesic $r_0$-ball in the hyperbolic space $(\mathbb{H}^n,g_{-1})$. Let $m\neq1$ be a positive constant. In this paper, we show that for $n\geq3$,…
In this paper we develop an approach to conformal geometry of piecewise flat metrics on manifolds. In particular, we formulate the combinatorial Yamabe problem for piecewise flat metrics. In the case of surfaces, we define the combinatorial…
Computing uniformization maps for surfaces has been a challenging problem and has many practical applications. In this paper, we provide a theoretically rigorous algorithm to compute such maps via combinatorial Calabi flow for vertex…
We prove that every homogeneous flow on a finite-volume homogeneous manifold has countably many independent invariant distributions unless it is conjugate to a linear flow on a torus. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for every…
We consider the Hamiltonian flow on complex complete intersection surfaces with isolated singularities, equipped with the Jacobian Poisson structure. More generally we consider complete intersections of arbitrary dimension equipped with…
In this paper, we study a combinatorial Ricci flow on closed pseudo $3$-manifolds $(M,\mathcal{T})$. We prove that if every edge in the triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ has valence at least $9$, then the combinatorial Ricci flow converges…
We study the long time behavior of the Hesse-Koszul flow on compact Hessian manifolds. When the first affine Chern class is negative, we prove that the flow converges to the unique Hesse-Einstein metric. We also derive a convergence result…
On a K-unstable toric variety we show the existence of an optimal destabilising convex function. We show that if this is piecewise linear then it gives rise to a decomposition into semistable pieces analogous to the Harder-Narasimhan…
We study a class of fourth order curvature flows on a compact Riemannian manifold, which includes the gradient flows of a number of quadratic geometric functionals, as for instance the L2 norm of the curvature. Such flows can develop a…
We study the convergence of a modified Kaeher-Ricci flow defined by Zhou Zhang. We show that the flow converges to a singular metric when the limit class is degenerate. This proves a conjecture of Zhang.
We prove that for a compact 3-manifold M with boundary admitting an ideal triangulation T with valence at least 10 at all edges, there exists a unique complete hyperbolic metric with totally geodesic boundary, so that T is isotopic to a…
Using a recently developed piecewise flat method, numerical evolutions of the Ricci flow are computed for a number of manifolds, using a number of different mesh types, and shown to converge to the expected smooth behaviour as the mesh…
