In holographic theories, the Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) area operator plays a key role in our understanding of the emergence of semiclassical Einstein-Hilbert gravity. When higher derivative corrections are included, the role of the…
Let us consider a projective manifold and $\Omega$ a volume form. We define the gradient flow associated to the problem of $\Omega$-balanced metrics in the quantum formalism, the \Omega$-balacing flow. At the limit of the quantization, we…
Identifying any conformally round metric on the $2$-sphere with a unique cross section on the standard lightcone in the $3+1$-Minkowski spacetime, we gain a new perspective on $2d$-Ricci flow on topological spheres. It turns out that in…
This is a foundational paper on flows of G_2 Structures. We use local coordinates to describe the four torsion forms of a G_2 Structure and derive the evolution equations for a general flow of a G_2 Structure on a 7-manifold. Specifically,…
We define rigorously a solution to the fourth-order total variation flow equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $n\geq3$, it can be understood as a gradient flow of the total variation energy in $D^{-1}$, the dual space of $D^1_0$, which is the…
We describe the exponential map from an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra to an infinite-dimensional group of operators on a Hilbert space. Notions of differential geometry are introduced for these groups. In particular, the Ricci curvature,…
We develop a general approach to study geometric flows on homogeneous spaces. Our main tool will be a dynamical system defined on the variety of Lie algebras called the bracket flow, which coincides with the original geometric flow after a…
In this paper, we study the Ricci flow of solvmanifolds whose Lie algebra has an abelian ideal of codimension one, by using the bracket flow. We prove that solutions to the Ricci flow are immortal, the omega-limit of bracket flow solutions…
The geometric flow theory and its applications turned into one of the most intensively developing branches of modern geometry. Here, a brief introduction to Finslerian Ricci flow and their self-similar solutions known as Ricci solitons are…
We obtain the evolution equations for the Riemann tensor, the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature induced by the mean curvature flow. The evolution for the scalar curvature is similar to the Ricci flow, however, negative, rather than…
We extend the concept of singular Ricci flow by Kleiner and Lott from 3d compact manifolds to 3d complete manifolds with possibly unbounded curvature. As an application of the generalized singular Ricci flow, we show that for any 3d…
Since the fundamental work of Chow-Luo \cite{CL03}, Ge \cite{Ge12,Ge17} et al., the combinatorial curvature flow methods became a basic technique in the study of circle pattern theory. In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial Ricci…
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent…
In this paper, we discuss an interaction between complex geometry and integrable systems. Section 1 reviews the classical results on integrable systems. New examples of integrable systems, which have been discovered, are based on the Lax…
We investigate a new geometric flow which consists of a coupled system of the Ricci flow on a closed manifold M with the harmonic map flow of a map phi from M to some closed target manifold N with a (possibly time-dependent) positive…
The Swampland Distance Conjecture postulates the emergence of an infinite tower of massless states when approaching infinite-distance points in moduli space. However, most string backgrounds are supported by fluxes, and therefore depart…
We study solutions to generalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds with a nilpotent, codimension $1$ symmetry. We show that all such flows are immortal, and satisfy type III curvature and diameter estimates. Using a new kind of monotone energy…
Properties of Hamiltonian symmetry flows on hyperbolic Euler-type Liouvillean equations E' are analyzed. Description of their Noether symmetries assigned to the integrals for these equations is obtained. The integrals provide Miura…
In this paper we give an explicit bound of $\Delta_{g(t)}u(t)$ and the local curvature estimates for the Ricci-harmonic flow under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. In the second part these local curvature…
A continuum limit of the Toda lattice field theory, called the SDiff(2) Toda equation, is shown to have a Lax formalism and an infinite hierarchy of higher flows. The Lax formalism is very similar to the case of the self-dual vacuum…
