The paper studies the problem of prescribing positive cross curvature on the three-dimensional sphere. We produce several existence results and an example of non-uniqueness, disproving a conjecture of Hamilton's.
In this second part of a sequence of two papers, we discuss the implementation of a curvature flow on weighted graphs based on the Bakry-\'Emery calculus. This flow can be adapted to preserve the Markovian property and its limits as time…
A graph drawn in a surface is a near-quadrangulation if the sum of the lengths of the faces different from 4-faces is bounded by a fixed constant. We leverage duality between colorings and flows to design an efficient algorithm for…
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 this paper we establish a rigorous gradient flow structure for one-dimensional Kimura equations with respect to some Wasserstein-Shahshahani optimal transport geometry. This is achieved by first conditioning the underlying stochastic…
We consider a general curvature equation $F(\kappa)=G(X,\nu(X))$, where $\kappa$ is the principal curvature of the hypersurface $M$ with position vector $X$. It includes the classical prescribed curvature measures problem and area measures…
In this paper, we introduce a class of new logarithmic curvature flow. The flows are designed to embrace the monotonicity of the related functional, and the convergence of this flow would tackle the solvability of the weighted…
The quasi-redirecting (QR) boundary, introduced by Qing and Rafi, generalizes the Gromov boundary for studying the large-scale geometry of finitely generated groups. Although it is not known to exist for all such groups, its existence has…
We study both the local and global existence of a gradient flow of the Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen entropy functional on a Hilbert manifold of expanding maps of a circle equipped with a Sobolev norm in the tangent space of the manifold. We show…
We study the optimal partition problem for the prescribed constant $Q$-curvature equation induced by the higher order conformal operators under the effect of cohomogeneity one actions on Einstein manifolds with positive scalar curvature.…
In this paper, we introduce and study the conformal mean curvature flow of submanifolds of higher codimension in the Euclidean space $\bbr^n$. This kind of flow is a special case of a general modified mean curvature flow which is of various…
This paper is devoted to studying the initial value problem for a third-order dispersive equation for closed curves into K\"ahler manifolds. This equation is a geometric generalization of a two-sphere valued system modeling the motion of…
The gradient-flow formalism is applied to a non-Abelian gauge theory with scalar and fermionic particles, dubbed "scalar QCD". It is shown that the flowed scalar quark requires a field renormalization, albeit only beyond the one-loop level.…
In this paper we study nonparametric mean curvature type flows in $M\times\mathbb{R}$ which are represented as graphs $(x,u(x,t))$ over a domain in a Riemannian manifold $M$ with prescribed contact angle. The speed of $u$ is the mean…
Mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces have been extensively studied and there are various different approaches and many beautiful results. However, relatively little is known about mean curvature flows of submanifolds of higher…
In this article we consider the length functional defined on the space of immersed planar curves. The $L^2(ds)$ Riemannian metric gives rise to the curve shortening flow as the gradient flow of the length functional. Motivated by the…
Given a compact four dimensional manifold, we prove existence of conformal metrics with constant $Q$-curvature under generic assumptions. The problem amounts to solving a fourth-order nonlinear elliptic equation with variational structure.…
Chow and Hamilton introduced the cross curvature flow on closed 3-manifolds with negative or positive sectional curvature. In this paper, we study the negative cross curvature flow in the case of locally homogenous metrics on 3-manifolds.…
This paper is concerned with the application of finite element methods to obtain solutions for steady fully developed second-grade flows in a curved pipe of circular cross-section and arbitrary curvature ratio, under a given axial pressure…
We study the behaviour of the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow on complete K\"ahler manifolds of negative holomorphic sectional curvature. We show that the flow exists for all time and converges to a K\"ahler-Einstein metric of negative…
