The paper proves rigidity theorems for Type II singularities in Lagrangian flows.

Ancient solutions of Lagrangian mean curvature flow in C^n naturally arise as Type II blow-ups. In this extended note we give structural and classification results for such ancient solutions in terms of their blow-down and, motivated by the Thomas-Yau Conjecture, focus on the almost calibrated case. In particular, we c…

We continue the study, initiated by the first two authors in \cite{IW19}, of Type-II curvature blow-up in mean curvature flow of complete noncompact embedded hypersurfaces. In particular, we construct mean curvature flow solutions, in the rotationally symmetric class, with the following precise asymptotics near the "va…

Local singularity analysis for Ricci flows with applications to bounded scalar curvature.

This work concerns with the existence and detailed asymptotic analysis of Type II singularities for solutions to complete non-compact conformally flat Yamabe flow with cylindrical behavior at infinity. We provide the specific blow-up rate of the maximum curvature and show that the solution converges, after blowing-up a…

The paper examines translating solitons and their relation to Lagrangian mean curvature flows with zero Maslov class.

Study curve shortening flow in high dimensions with boundary constraints.

We study the phenomenon of Type-II curvature blow-up in mean curvature flows of rotationally symmetric noncompact embedded hypersurfaces. Using analytic techniques based on formal matched asymptotics and the construction of upper and lower barrier solutions enveloping formal solutions with prescribed behavior, we show …

In each dimension $N\geq 3$ and for each real number $λ\geq 1$, we construct a family of complete rotationally symmetric solutions to Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ which encounter a global singularity at a finite time $T$. The singularity forms arbitrarily slowly with the curvature blowing up arbitrarily fast at the r…

For any manifold $N^p$ admitting an Einstein metric with positive Einstein constant, we study the behavior of the Ricci flow on high-dimensional products $M = N^p \times S^{q+1}$ with doubly-warped product metrics. In particular, we provide a rigorous construction of local, type II, conical singularity formation on suc…

Gu and Zhu have shown that Type-II Ricci flow singularities develop from nongeneric rotationally symmetric Riemannian metrics on $S^m$, for all $m\geq 3$. In this paper, we describe and provide plausibility arguments for a detailed asymptotic profile and rate of curvature blow-up that we predict such solutions exhibit.

J.J.L. Vel$\acute{a}$zquez in 1994 used the degree theory to show that there is a perturbation of Simons' cone, starting from which the mean curvature flow develops a type $\mathrm{II}$ singularity at the origin. He also showed that under a proper time-dependent rescaling of the solution around the origin, the rescaled…

Researchers found a new type of singularity in surface evolution equations.

We show that a Ricci flow in four dimensions can develop singularities modeled on the Eguchi-Hanson space. In particular, we prove that starting from a class of asymptotically cylindrical $U(2)$-invariant initial metrics on $TS^2$, a Type II singularity modeled on the Eguchi-Hanson space develops in finite time. Furthe…

Study shows different behaviors of noncompact hypersurfaces under mean curvature flow.

We use a sheaf-theoretic approach to obtain a blow-up formula for Dolbeault cohomology groups with values in the holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold. As applications, we present several positive (or negative) examples associated to the vanishing theorems of Girbau, Kawamata-Viehweg and Green-Lazar…

Study of curve shortening flow for twisted curves, defining curvature-torsion entropy.

We establish blow-up profiles for any blowing-up sequence of solutions of general conformally invariant fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Euclidean domains. We prove that (i) the distance between blow-up points is bounded from below by a universal positive number, (ii) the solutions are very close to a single stand…

Compact mean curvature flow solutions with bounded curvature in high dimensions are constructed.

Ozawa solution describes surface deformation from Davey-Stewartson II equation.

In this paper, we study curvature behavior at the first singular time of solution to the Ricci flow on a smooth, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij}$ for $t\in [0,T)$. If the flow has uniformly bounded scalar curvature and develops Type I singularities at $T$, us…

The aim of this article is to study expansions of solutions to an extremal metric type equation on the blow-up of constant scalar curvature Kähler surfaces. This is related to finding constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics on K-stable blow-ups of extremal Kähler surfaces

Study on half spheres solves Nirenberg problem with complex blow-up analysis.

We study blow-ups around fixed points at Type I singularities of the Ricci flow on closed manifolds using Perelman's W-functional. First, we give an alternative proof of the result obtained by Naber and Enders-Müller-Topping that blow-up limits are non-flat gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Our second and main result …

Study on how soliton equations form singularities using L,A,B-triples.

We prove a version of the Arezzo-Pacard-Singer blow-up theorem in the setting of Poincaré type metrics. We apply this to give new examples of extremal Poincaré type metrics. A key feature is an additional obstruction which has no analogue in the compact case. This condition is conjecturally related to ensuring the metr…

We consider the energy-supercritical harmonic map heat flow from $\mathbb{R}^d$ into $\mathbb{S}^d$, under an additional assumption of 1-corotational symmetry. We are interested by the 7 dimensional case which is the borderline between the Type I blowup regime. We construct for this problem a stable finite time blowup …

Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature cannot develop Type I singular points.

Level set flow's singularities are type I under 2-convexity, leading to specific curvature blow-up rates.

Let n be an integer such that 25 \leq n \leq 51. We construct a smooth metric g on S^n with the property that the set of constant scalar curvature metrics in the conformal class of g is not compact.

Study regularity of Schrödinger eigenfunctions with Coulomb-type potentials.

Ancient solutions arise in the study of parabolic blow-ups. If we can categorize ancient solutions, we can better understand blow-up limits. Based on an argument of Giga and Kohn, we give a Liouville-type theorem restricting ancient, type-I, non-collapsing two- dimensional mean curvature flows to either spheres or cyli…

The article proves conditions for blow-ups of lcK spaces to remain lcK.

Study proves energy critical heat equation solutions are Type I blowups for n ≥ 7.

In this paper we perform a fine blow-up analysis for a fourth order elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev exponent, related to the prescription of some conformal invariant on the standard sphere. We derive from this analysis some a priori estimates in dimension 5 and 6. On the five dimensionl sphere these a prio…

It is a classical result, due to F. Tricceri, that the blow-up of a manifold of locally conformally Kähler (l.c.K. for short) type at some point is again of l.c.K. type. However, the proof given in \cite{Tric} is somehow unclear. We give a different argument to prove the result, using "standard tricks" in algebraic geo…

We show that any strictly mean convex translator of dimension $n\geq 3$ which admits a cylindrical estimate and a corresponding gradient estimate is rotationally symmetric. As a consequence, we deduce that any translating solution of the mean curvature flow which arises as a blow-up limit of a two-convex mean curvature…

Solutions grow for a special type of math problem on curved spaces.

We prove a theorem of Leray-Hirsch type and give an explicit blow-up formula for Dolbeault cohomology on (\emph{not necessarily compact}) complex manifolds. We give applications to strongly $q$-complete manifolds and the $\partial\bar{\partial}$-lemma.

By using the geometric concept of PDEs with prescribed curvature representations, we show that the 1+2 dimensional Landau-Lifshitz equation is gauge equivalent to a 1+2 dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger-type system. From the nonlinear Schrödinger-type system, we construct blowing up $H^3({\bf R}^2)$-solutions to the 1+…

We show that an eternal solution to a complete, locally conformally flat Yamabe flow, $\frac{\partial}{\partial t} g = -Rg$, with uniformly bounded scalar curvature and positive Ricci curvature at $t = 0$, where the scalar curvature assumes its maximum is a gradient steady soliton. As an application of that, we study t…
