We rigorously show that a large family of monotone quantities along the weak inverse mean curvature flow is the limit case of the corresponding ones along the level sets of $p$-capacitary potentials. Such monotone quantities include…

Via continuous deformations based on natural flow evolutions, we prove several novel monotonicity results for Riesz-type nonlocal energies on triangles and quadrilaterals. Some of these results imply new and simpler proofs for known…

When the Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold is not lower bounded by a constant, but lower bounded by a continuous function, we give a new characterization of this lower bound through the convexity of relative entropy on the…

We prove two new estimates for the level set flow of mean convex domains in Riemannian manifolds. Our estimates give control - exponential in time - for the infimum of the mean curvature, and the ratio between the norm of the second…

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…

In this paper, we introduce a monotonicity formula for the mean curvature flow which is related to self-expanders. Then we use the monotonicity to study the asymptotic behavior of Type III mean curvature flow on noncompact hypersurfaces.

In this paper we give local curvature estimates for the Laplacian flow on closed G_2-structures under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. The main ingredient consists of the idea of Kotschwar-Munteanu-Wang who…
