We study the fillability (or embeddability) of 3-dimensional $CR$ structures under the geometric flows. Suppose we can solve a certain second order equation for the geometric quantity associated to the flow. Then we prove that if the…

In this work, we study a gap phenomenon in locally conformally flat Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. We construct complete solutions to the Yamabe flow that exhibit instantaneous bounded curvature as they evolve.…

We deform the contact form by the amount of the Tanaka-Webster curvature on a closed spherical $CR$ three-manifold. We show that if a contact form evolves with free torsion and positive Tanaka-Webster curvature as initial data, then a…

In a recent expository article (Notices of the AMS, 58 (2011), no. 1, 20-27), Ezhov, McLaughlin and Schmalz showed how to perform in an effective way Tanaka's prolongation procedure valid generally for filtered structures of constant type…

We classify compact manifolds of dimension three equipped with a path structure and a fixed contact form (which we refer to as a strict path structure) under the hypothesis that their automorphism group is non-compact. We use a Cartan…

In this paper we construct examples of $CR$ deformations of Lorentzian hypersurfaces which are $CR$ embeddable at all points outside an arbitrarily small compact set whose interior contains a point where $CR$ embeddablity is not possible.

On a compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold $(M,\th)$, we consider the CR Yamabe constant of its infinite conformal covering. By using the maximum principles, we then prove a uniqueness theorem for the CR Yamabe flow on a complete…

We consider a flow by powers of Gauss curvature under the obstruction that the flow cannot penetrate a prescribed region, so called an obstacle. For all dimensions and positive powers, we prove the optimal curvature bounds of solutions and…

We show that the boundaries of thin strongly pseudoconvex Grauert tubes, with respect to the Guillemin-Stenzel K\"{a}hler metric canonically associated with the Poincar\'e metric on closed hyperbolic real-analytic surfaces, has nowhere…

The free elastic flow that begins at any curve exists for all time. If the initial curve is an $\omega$-fold covered circle (``$\omega$-circle'') the solution expands self-similarly. Very recently, Miura and the second author showed that…

The classical Cartan's structural equations show in a compact way the relation between a connection and its curvature, and reveals their geometric interpretation in terms of moving frames. In order to study the mathematical properties of…

We prove that for a solution $(M^n,g(t))$, $t\in[0,T)$, where $T<\infty$, to the Ricci flow with bounded curvature on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with the Ricci curvature tensor uniformly bounded by some constant $C$ on…

Using the prescribed Webster scalar curvature flow, we prove some existence results on the 3-dimensional compact CR manifold with nonnegative CR Yamabe constant.

This paper is an attempt to introduce methods and concepts of the Riemann-Cartan geometry largely used in such physical theories as general relativity, gauge theories, solid dynamics, etc. to fluid dynamics in general and to studying and…

We study the near-the-interface behavior of a compact convex scalar curvature flow with a flat side. Under suitable initial conditions on the flat side, we show that the interface propagates with a finite and non-degenerate speed until the…

We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…

We study the stability of the embeddability of compact 2-concave CR manifolds in complex manifolds under small horizontal perturbations of the CR structure.

In this article we investigate rigidity properties of integrable area-preserving twist maps of the cylinder. More specifically, we prove that if a deformation of the standard integrable map preserves rotational invariant circles (i.e.,…

We characterise the integrability of any co-CR quaternionic structure in terms of the curvature and a generalized torsion of the connection. Also, we apply this result to obtain, for example, the following. (1) New co-CR quaternionic…

This article studies the fundamental invariants of 2--nondegenerate CR geometries with simple models. We show that there are two sources of these invariants. The first source is the harmonic curvature of the parabolic geometry that appears…
