It is shown that bounds of all orders of derivative would follow from uniform bounds for the metric and the torsion 1-form, for a flow in non-K\"ahler geometry which can be interpreted as either a flow for the Type IIB string or the Anomaly…

The stress concentration is a common phenomenon in the study of fluid-solid model. In this paper, we investigate the boundary gradient estimates and the second order derivatives estimates for the Stokes flow when the rigid particles…

A gradient flow equation for $\lambda\phi^{4}$ theory in $D=4$ is formulated. In this scheme the gradient flow equation is written in terms of the renormalized probe variable $\Phi(t,x)$ and renormalized parameters $m^{2}$ and $\lambda$ in…

We consider the normalized Ricci flow evolving from an initial metric which is conformally compactifiable and asymptotically hyperbolic. We show that there is a unique evolving metric which remains in this class, and that the flow exists up…

Assume $M$ is a closed 3-manifold whose universal covering is not $S^3$. We show that the obstruction to extend the Ricci flow is the boundedness $L^{3/2}$-norm of the scalar curvature $R(t)$, i.e, the Ricci flow can be extended over time…

In this paper we study the Ricci flow on surfaces homeomorphic to a cylinder (that is, a product of the circle with a compact interval). We prove longtime existence results, results on the asymptotic behavior of the flow, and we report on…

We formulate and study the negative gradient flow of an energy functional of Spin(7)-structures on compact $8$-manifolds. The energy functional is the $L^2$-norm of the torsion of the Spin(7)-structure. Our main result is the short-time…

A class of semi-bounded solutions of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations satisfying either periodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions is examined. For smooth initial data, new blowup criteria in terms of the initial concavity…

In this paper we investigate a kind of generalized Ricci flow which possesses a gradient form. We study the monotonicity of the given function under the generalized Ricci flow and prove that the related system of partial differential…

If we want to deform a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary using Ricci flow, we first need to decide on appropriate boundary conditions. We would like these conditions to reflect the geometric nature of the flow and allow for a…

We introduce a variation of the classical Ricci flow equation that modifies the unit volume constraint of that equation to a scalar curvature constraint. The resulting equations are named the Conformal Ricci Flow Equations because of the…

In recent work of Chan-Huang-Lee, it is shown that if a manifold enjoys uniform bounds on (a) the negative part of the scalar curvature, (b) the local entropy, and (c) volume ratios up to a fixed scale, then there exists a Ricci flow for…

Second order systems whose drift is defined by the gradient of a given potential are considered, and minimization of the $L^1$-norm of the control is addressed. An analysis of the extremal flow emphasizes the role of singular trajectories…

We consider a generalized Ricci flow with a given (not necessarily closed) three-form and establish the higher derivatives estimates for compact manifolds. As an application, we prove the compactness theorem for this generalized Ricci flow.…

We consider solutions (M,g(t)), 0 <= t <T, to Ricci flow on compact, four dimensional manifolds without boundary. We prove integral curvature estimates which are valid for any such solution. In the case that the scalar curvature is bounded…

We establish the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on surfaces with a finite number of conic points, all with cone angle between 0 and $2\pi$, where the cone angles remain fixed or change in some smooth prescribed way. For the…

We apply the functional renormalization group theory to the dynamics of first-order phase transitions and show that a potential with all odd-order terms can describe spinodal decomposition phenomena. We derive a momentum-dependent dynamic…

In this paper we present several curvature estimates for solutions of the Ricci flow which depend on smallness of certain local integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor.

We study the surface diffusion flow acting on a class of general (non--axisymmetric) perturbations of cylinders $\mathcal{C}_r$ in ${\rm I \! R}^3$. Using tools from parabolic theory on uniformly regular manifolds, and maximal regularity,…

In this paper, we establish a framework for the analysis of linear parabolic equations on conical surfaces and use them to study the conical Ricci flow. In particular, we prove the long time existence of the conical Ricci flow for general…
