Two ancient solutions to Gauss curvature flow are identified for cylinders.

Paper proves uniqueness of catenary cylinders based on their asymptotic shape.

Smooth convergence to an enveloping cylinder proved for mean curvature flow of complete graphical hypersurfaces.

We show that any complete, immersed self-expander to the inverse mean curvature flow, which has one end asymptotic to a cylinder, or has two ends asymptotic to two coaxial cylinders, must be rotationally symmetric.

Study non-fillable curves in a hyperbolic surface with a real line.

$\mathcal{H}-$holomorphic curves are solutions of a specific modification of the pseudoholomorphic curve equation in symplectizations involving a harmonic $1-$form as perturbation term. In this paper we study the asymptotics of $\mathcal{H}-$holomorphic curves defined on a sequence of degenerating cylinders.

In this article we prove that a connected and properly embedded translating soliton in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with uniformly bounded genus on compact sets which is $C^1$-asymptotic to two planes outside a cylinder, either is flat or coincides with the grim reaper cylinder.

In this paper we generalize the neck-stability theorem of Kleiner-Lott to a special class of four-dimensional nonnegatively curved Type I $κ$-solutions, namely, those whose asymptotic shrinkers are the standard cylinder $\mathbb{S}^3\times\mathbb{R}$. We use this stability result to prove a rigidity theorem: if a four-…

We show that the Bowl soliton in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is the unique translating solutions of the mean curvature flow which has the family of shrinking cylinders as an asymptotic shrinker at $-\infty$. As an application, we show that for a generic mean curvature flow, all (non-static) translating limit flows are the bowl soli…

We compute explicitly the absolute contribution of square-tiled surfaces having a single horizontal cylinder to the Masur-Veech volume of any ambient stratum of Abelian differentials. The resulting count is particularly simple and efficient in the large genus asymptotics. Using the recent results of Aggarwal and of Che…

We address the asymptotic behavior of the $α$-Gauss curvature flow, for $α>1/2$, with initial data a complete non-compact convex hypersurface which is contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. We show that the flow converges, as $t \to +\infty$, locally smoothly to a translating soliton which is uniquely determ…

Proves a Minkowski inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces in warped cylinders.

For a compact manifold, which has a part isometric to a cylinder of finite length, we consider an adiabatic limit procedure, in which the length of the cylinder tends to infinity. We study the asymptotic of the spectrum of Hodge-Laplacian and the asymptotic of the $L^2$-metric on de Rham cohomology. As an application, …

In this paper we prove that any asymptotically cylindrical gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is isometric to a cylinder.

This paper studies mean curvature flows near cylindrical singularities.

The paper constructs ancient solutions to curvature flows in bounded and unbounded regions.

We show that each end of a noncompact self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of finite topology is smoothly asymptotic to either a regular cone or a self-shrinking round cylinder.

Study of degenerating maps to Riemannian manifolds, proving asymptotic limits and existence of minimal cylinders.

The paper studies mean curvature flow with contact angles in high-dimensional cylinders.

We prove that the hyperplanes parallel to ${\bf e}_{n+1}$ are the unique examples of translating solitons $C^1-$asymptotic to two half-hyperplanes outside a vertical cylinder in $\R^{n+1}$.

In this paper we consider the isoperimetric profile of convex cylinders $K\times\mathbb{R}^q$, where $K$ is an $m$-dimensional convex body, and of cylindrically bounded convex sets, i.e, those with a relatively compact orthogonal projection over some hyperplane of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, asymptotic to a right convex cylind…

We give a fairly complete solution to the asymptotic Plateau Problem for minimal surfaces in H^2xR. In particular, we identify the collection of finite Jordan curves in the asymptotic cylinder which bounds a minimal surface in H^2xR.

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 an interesting phenomenon: convergence to constant curvature in the normalised fl…

A translating soliton is a hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ such that the family $M_t= M- t \,\mathbf{e}_{n+1}$ is a mean curvature flow, i.e., such that normal component of the velocity at each point is equal to the mean curvature at that point $\mathbf{H}=\mathbf{e}_{n+1}^{\perp}.$ In this paper we obtain a cha…

We prove a sharp estimate for the inscribed radius under certain fully nonlinear curvature flows. This estimate is asymptotically sharp on cylinders.

Study finds solutions to inequality decay to zero on warped cylinders.

The best known finite-time local Ricci flow singularity is the neckpinch, in which a proper subset of the manifold becomes geometrically close to a portion of a shrinking cylinder. In this paper, we prove precise asymptotics for rotationally symmetric Ricci flow neckpinches. We then compare these rigorous results with …

We prove that a shrinking gradient Ricci soliton which agrees to infinite order at spatial infinity with one of the standard cylindrical metrics on $S^k\times \RR^{n-k}$ for $k\geq 2$ along some end must be isometric to the cylinder on that end. When the underlying manifold is complete, it must be globally isometric ei…

We prove that square-tiled surfaces having fixed combinatorics of horizontal cylinder decomposition and tiled with smaller and smaller squares become asymptotically equidistributed in any ambient linear $GL(\mathbb R)$-invariant suborbifold defined over $\mathbb Q$ in the moduli space of Abelian differentials. Moreover…

We explore the relationship between contact forms on $\mathbb S^3$ defined by Finsler metrics on $\mathbb S^2$ and the theory developed by H. Hofer, K. Wysocki and E. Zehnder in \cite{HWZ,HWZ1}. We show that a Finsler metric on $\mathbb S^2$ with curvature $K\geq 1$ and with all geodesic loops of length $>π$ is dynamic…

The study examines 4D steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative curvature away from a compact set.

Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces can be seen as translation surfaces, which are flat surfaces with cone-type singularities. Closed geodesics for the associated flat metrics form cylinders whose number under a given maximal length generically has quadratic asymptotics in this length, with a common coefficient c…

Study spin-0 fields on n-dimensional Minkowski spacetimes, computing asymptotic charges.

We analyse the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the Teichmüller harmonic map flow from cylinders, and more generally of `almost minimal cylinders', in situations where the maps satisfy a Plateau-boundary condition for which the three-point condition degenerates. We prove that such a degenerating boundary condition …

Square-tiled surfaces can be classified by their number of squares and their cylinder diagrams (also called realizable separatrix diagrams). For the case of $n$ squares and two cone points with angle $4 π$ each, we set up and parametrize the classification into four diagrams. Our main result is to provide formulae for …

We study the asymptotic behaviour of regularized determinants of certain Laplace type operators with respect to singular deformations of the underlying manifold which are obtained by stretching a tubular neighborhood of an embedded separating hypersurface to a cylinder of infinite length. Using the asymptotic expansion…

The paper mainly concerns the structure at infinity for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. It is shown that for such a soliton with bounded curvature, if the round cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1}/Γ$ occurs as a limit for a sequence of points going to infinity along an end, then the end is asymptoti…

New model for STSs with restricted horizontal gluings, focusing on maximal horizontal cylinders.

For any asymptotically conical self-shrinker with entropy less than or equal to that of a cylinder we show that the link of the asymptotic cone must separate the unit sphere into exactly two connected components, both diffeomorphic to the self-shrinker. Combining this with recent work of Brendle, we conclude that the r…

We prove that for a 7-dimensional manifold M with cylindrical ends the moduli space of exponentially asymptotically cylindrical torsion-free G_2 structures is a smooth manifold (if non-empty), and study some of its local properties. We also show that the holonomy of the induced metric of an exponentially asymptotically…

Asymptotically cylindrical Ricci-flat manifolds play a key role in constructing Topological Quantum Field Theories. It is particularly important to understand their behavior at the cylindrical ends and the natural restrictions on the geometry. In this paper we show that an orientable, connected, asymptotically cylindri…

Study finds many nonplanar minimal spheres in elongated ellipsoids.

In the Cauchy problem for asymptotically flat vacuum data the solution-jets along the cylinder at space-like infinity develop in general logarithmic singularities at the critical sets at which the cylinder touches future/past null infinity. The tendency of these singularities to spread along the null generators of null…

IIn this article, we study the instanton equation on the cylinder over a closed manifold $X$ which admits non-zero smooth $3$-form $P$ and $4$-form $Q$. Our results are (1) if $X$ is a \textbf{good} manifold, i.e., $P,Q$ satisfying $d\ast_{X}P=d\ast_{X}Q=0$, then the instanton with integrable curvature decays exponenti…

We define cylinder knots as billiard knots in a cylinder. We present a necessary condition for cylinder knots: after dividing cylinder knots by possible rotational symmetries we obtain ribbon knots. We obtain an upper bound for the number of cylinder knots with two fixed parameters (out of three). In addition we prove …
