In this paper we introduce entropy-stability and F-stability for homothetically shrinking Yang-Mills solitons, employing entropy and second variation of $\mathcal{F}$-functional respectively. For a homothetically shrinking soliton which does not descend, we prove that entropy-stability implies F-stability. These stabil…

Study on solitons in deformed Kenmotsu manifolds with specific vector fields.

Symmetry groups help define solitons in curved spaces.

In this paper we extend some well-known rigidity results for conformal changes of Einstein metrics to the class of generalized quasi-Einstein (GQE) metrics, which includes gradient Ricci solitons. In order to do so, we introduce the notions of conformal diffeomorphisms and vector fields that preserve a GQE structure. W…

This paper studies rapidly forming singularities in the Yang-Mills flow. It is shown that a sequence of blow-ups near the singular point converges, modulo the gauge group, to a homothetically shrinking soliton with non-zero curvature. The proof uses Hamilton's monotonicity formula. Examples of homothetically shrinking …

The paper studies $η-$Ricci solitons on contact pseudo-metric manifolds and their properties.

We investigate self-similar solutions to the inverse mean curvature flow in Euclidean space. In the case of one dimensional planar solitons, we explicitly classify all homothetic solitons and translators. Generalizing Andrews' theorem that circles are the only compact homothetic planar solitons, we apply the Hsiung-Min…

Paper classifies ruled surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space for a specific flow.

We study solutions to the inverse mean curvature flow which evolve by homotheties of a given submanifold with arbitrary dimension and codimension. We first show that the closed ones are necessarily spherical minimal immersions and so we reveal the strong rigidity of the Clifford torus in this setting. Mainly we focus o…

In this paper we study a special type of metric called *-Ricci soliton on para-Sasakian manifold. We prove that if the para-Sasakian metric is a *-Ricci soliton on a manifold M, then M is either D-homothetic to an Einstein manifold, or the Ricci tensor of M with respect to the canonical paracontact connection vanishes.

We investigate the existence of closed $G_2$-structures which are solitons for the Laplacian flow on nilpotent Lie groups. We obtain that seven of the twelve Lie algebras admitting a closed $G_2$-structure do admit a Laplacian soliton. Moreover, one of them admits a continuous family of Laplacian solitons which are pai…

New proof of non-compact homothetic solitons for inverse mean curvature flow.

Study proves conditions for translating solitons to be planar.

We study the heat flow for Yang-Mills connections on $\mathbb R^d \times SO(d)$. It is well-known that in dimensions $5 \leq d \leq 9$ this model admits homothetically shrinking solitons, i.e., self-similar blowup solutions, with an explicit example given by Weinkove \cite{Wei04}. We prove the nonlinear asymptotic stab…

This paper studies cohomogeneity one Ricci solitons. If the isotropy representation of the principal orbit $G/K$ consists of two inequivalent $Ad_K$-invariant irreducible summands, the existence of parameter families of non-homothetic complete steady and expanding Ricci solitons on non-trivial bundles is shown. These e…

New Einstein solvmanifolds created from non-flat Ricci solitons.

The study classifies and disproves gradient properties of certain solitons on specific Lie groups.

We prove the following results: (i) A Sasakian metric as a non-trivial Ricci soliton is null $η$-Einstein, and expanding. Such a characterization permits to identify the Sasakian metric on the Heisenberg group $\mathcal{H}^{2n+1}$ as an explicit example of (non-trivial) Ricci soliton of such type. (ii) If an $η$-Einste…

The paper finds asymmetric Type-I blowup solutions for Yang-Mills flow.

We study some potential theoretic properties of homothetic solitons $Σ^n$ of the MCF and the IMCF. Using the analysis of the extrinsic distance function defined on these submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$, we observe similarities and differences in the geometry of solitons in both flows. In particular, we show that par…

The paper explores almost Ricci solitons on Finsler spaces, proving conditions for their existence.

The study introduces a new soliton concept to classify Sasakian 3-manifolds.

Self-shrinkers are hypersurfaces that shrink homothetically under mean curvature flow; these solitons model the singularities of the flow. It it presently known that an entire self-shrinking graph must be a hyperplane. In this paper we show that the hyperplane is rigid in an even stronger sense, namely: For $2 \leq n \…

The paper explains geometric correspondences for homothetic navigation.

Solves geodesic completeness on pseudo-homothetic Lie group.

Mathematically, a homothetic function is a function of the form $f({\bf x})=F(h(x_1,...,x_n))$, where $h$ is a homogeneous function of any degree $d\ne 0$ and $F$ is a monotonically increasing function. In economics homothetic functions are production functions whose marginal technical rate of substitution is homogeneo…

We show that any horizontally homothetic submersion from a compact manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature is a Riemannian submersion.

The paper explores conditions for homothetic Killing vectors on spacetime hypersurfaces.

In \cite{Mul} one-parameter planar motion was first introduced and the relations between absolute, relative, sliding velocities (and accelerations) in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{E}^2$ were obtained. Moreover, the relations between the Complex velocities one-parameter motion in the Complex plane were provided by \cite…

The aim of this paper is to classify compact, simply connected Kähler manifolds which admit totally geodesic, holomorphic complex homothetic foliation by curves.

In this article we derive a complete classification of all submanifolds in space forms with codimension two for which the Gauss map is homothetic.

We obtain a local classification of complex homothetic foliations on Kaehler manifolds by complex curves. This is used to construct almost Kaehler, Ricci-flat metrics subject to additional curvature properties.

In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(α,β)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the principles to study conformal vector fields of some classes of $(α,β)$ spaces under certain c…

We classify homothetical surfaces with constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space.

A homothetical surface arises as a graph of a function $z = \varphi_1(v_1) \varphi_2(v_2)$. In this paper, we study the homothetical surfaces in three dimensional psuedo-Galilean space$\left(\mathbb{G}_3^1\right)$ satisfying the conditions $Δ^{II}\textbf{x}_i=λ_i\textbf{x}_i,$ where $Δ^{II}$ is the Laplacian with respe…

In an incomplete market, with incompleteness stemming from stochastic factors imperfectly correlated with the underlying stocks, we derive representations of homothetic (power, exponential and logarithmic) forward performance processes in factor-form using ergodic BSDE. We also develop a connection between the forward …

In this paper, we completely classify the homothetical hypersurfaces having null Gauss-Kronocker curvature in a Euclidean (n+1)-space. Several applications to the production functions in economics are also given.

Study on minimal surfaces in a 3D space with 2m-norm.

A selfsimiar manifold is a Riemannian manifold $\left(M,g\right)$ endowed with a homothetic vector field $ξ$. We characterize global selfsimilar manifolds and describe the structure of local selfsimilar manifolds. We prove that any selfsimilar manifold with a potential homothetic vector field is a conical Riemannian ma…

The paper classifies vertices in planar polygons formed by convex domains.

We consider graphical solutions to mean curvature flow and obtain a stability result for homothetically expanding solutions coming out of cones of positive mean curvature: If another solution is initially close to the cone at infinity, then the difference to the homothetically expanding solution becomes small for large…

Flat holonomies imply homotheticity in certain curved spaces.

In this paper, it is proved that any conformal vector field is homothetic on a locally projectively flat $(α,β)$-space of non-Randers type in dimension $n\ge 3$, and the local solutions of such a vector field are determined. While on a locally projectively flat Randers space, examples showthat the conformal vector fiel…

Proves stability of cone-volume measure with nearly constant density.

In the study of the curve shortening flow on general closed curves, Abresch and Langer posed a conjecture that the homothetic curves can be regarded as saddle points between multi-folded circles and some singular curves. In other words, these homothetic curves are the watershed between curves with a nonsingular future …

We study the curve diffusion flow for closed curves immersed in the Minkowski plane $\mathcal{M}$, which is equivalent to the Euclidean plane endowed with a closed, symmetric, convex curve called an indicatrix that scales the length of a vector in $\mathcal{M}$ depending on its length. The indiactrix $\partial\mathcal{…

In this paper we study the set of balanced metrics (in Donaldson's terminology) on a compact complex manifold M which are homothetic to a given balanced one. This question is related to various properties of the Tian-Yau-Zelditch approximation theorem for Kahler metrics. We prove that this set is finite when $M$ admits…
