The Ricci flow on the 2-sphere with marked points is shown to converge in all three stable, semi-stable, and unstable cases. In the stable case, the flow was known to converge without any reparametrization, and a new proof of this fact is…

We give a global picture of the Ricci flow on the space of three-dimensional, unimodular, nonabelian metric Lie algebras considered up to isometry and scaling. The Ricci flow is viewed as a two-dimensional dynamical system for the evolution…

We develop a framework inspired by Lauret's "bracket flow" to study the generalized Ricci flow, as introduced by Streets, on discrete quotients of Lie groups. As a first application, we establish global existence on solvmanifolds in…

Effective topological field theories describe the properties of Dirac fermions in the low-energy regime. In this work, we introduce a new emergent gravity model by considering Dirac fermions invariant under local de Sitter transformations…

We revisit Jacobson's thermodynamic derivation of gravitational dynamics in the presence of generalized, non-extensive horizon entropies. Working within a local Rindler-wedge framework, we formulate the Clausius relation as the stationarity…

We present a new linearly stable solution of the Euler fluid flow on a torus. On a two-dimensional rectangular periodic domain $[0,2\pi)\times[0,2\pi / \kappa)$ for $\kappa\in\mathbb{R}^+$, the Euler equations admit a family of stationary…

In 2004, Manning showed that the topological entropy of the geodesic flow for a surface of negative curvature decreases as the metric evolves under the normalised Ricci flow. It is an interesting open problem, also due to Manning, to…

Let $X$ be a toric surface and $u$ be a normalized symplectic potential on the corresponding polygon $P$. Suppose that the Riemannian curvature is bounded by a constant $C_1$ and $\int_{\partial P} u ~ d \sigma < C_2, $ then there exists a…
