We study the $L^2$ gradient flow of the Yang--Mills functional on the space of connection 1-forms on a principal $G$-bundle over the sphere $S^2$ from the perspective of Morse theory. The resulting Morse homology is compared to the heat…
We study the Yamabe flow starting from an asymptotically flat manifold $(M^n,g_0)$. We show that the flow converges to an asymptotically flat, scalar flat metric in a weighted global sense if $Y(M,[g_0])>0$, and show that the flow does not…
In [BOV20] Barutello, Ortega, and Verzini introduced a non-local functional which regularizes the free fall. This functional has a critical point at infinity and therefore does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. In this article we…
B\"acklund transformations for smooth and ``space discrete'' Hashimoto surfaces are discussed and a geometric interpretation is given. It is shown that the complex curvature of a discrete space curve evolves with the discrete nonlinear…
We consider the CY orbifolds connected with the products of N = (2, 2) supersymmetric minimal models. We use the spectral flow construction of states, as well as its mirror one, to explicitly show that these CY orbifolds are canonically…
Following on from our previous study of the geodesic flow on three dimensional ellipsoid with equal middle semi-axes, here we study the remaining cases: Ellipsoids with two sets of equal semi-axes with $SO(2) \times SO(2)$ symmetry,…
Superconductivity is abundant near quantum-critical points, where fluctuations suppress the formation of Fermi liquid quasiparticles and the BCS theory no longer applies. Two very distinct approaches have been developed to address this…
Assume that $M$ is a CR compact manifold without boundary and CR Yamabe invariant $\mathcal{Y}(M)$ is positive. Here, we devote to study a class of sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality as follows \begin{equation*} \Bigl| \int_M\int_M…
The negative symmetry flows are incorporated into the Riemann-Hilbert problem for the homogeneous $A_m$-hierarchy and its $\hat{gl} (m+1, C)$ extension. A loop group automorphism of order two is used to define a sub-hierarchy of $\hat{gl}…
Spatio-temporally complex flows are found at the onset of unsteadiness in (axisymmetric) rotor-stator turbulence in the shape of concentric rolls. The emergence of these rolls is rationalised using a homotopy approach, where the original…
We study the space of Sasaki metrics on a compact manifold $M$ by introducing an odd-dimensional analogue of the $J$-flow. That leads to the notion of critical metric in the Sasakian context. In analogy to the K\"ahler case, on a polarised…
This is in the sequel of authors' paper \cite{LPW} in which we had set up a program to verify rigorously some formal statements associated with the multiple component phase transitions with higher dimensional wells. The main goal here is to…
In this paper, we define a family of functionals generalizing the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on a closed Riemannian manifold. Then we prove the short time existence of the corresponding gradient flow by a gauge fixing technique. The lack…
In this article we consider the inviscid two-dimensional shallow water equations in a rectangle. The flow occurs near a stationary solution in the so called supercritical regime and we establish short term existence of smooth solutions for…
For a simply connected closed Riemannian manifold with positive scalar curvature, we prove an upper diameter bound in terms of its scalar curvature integral, the Yamabe constant and the dimension of the manifold. When a manifold has a…
It has been shown that the orbits of motion for a wide class of non-relativistic Hamiltonian systems can be described as geodesic flow on a manifold and an associated dual. This method can be applied to a four dimensional manifold of orbits…
In this paper we study the local regularity of closed surfaces immersed in a Riemannian 3-manifold flowing by Willmore flow. We establish a pair of concentration-compactness alternatives for the flow, giving a lower bound on the maximal…
The basic model for incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions is derived from basic principles and shown to be thermodynamically consistent in the sense that the total energy is conserved and the total entropy is nondecreasing.…
A new eigenvalue analysis is developed and applied to the circular cylinder laminar flow configuration to investigate the various mechanisms at play in the nonlinear saturation of perturbations yielding to limit cycles for supercritical…
In this paper we investigate the structure of certain solutions of the fully nonlinear Yamabe flow, which we call quotient almost Yamabe solitons because they extend quite naturally those called quotient Yamabe solitons. We then present…
