We prove the existence of weak solutions of complex $m-$Hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds for the nonnegative right hand side belonging to $L^p, p>n/m$ ($n$ is the dimension of the manifold). For smooth, positive data the equation has been recently solved by Szekelyhidi and Zhang. We also give a stabilit…

We prove the existence of a unique global weak solution to the full bosonic string heat flow from closed Riemannian surfaces to an arbitrary target under smallness conditions on the two-form and the scalar potential. The solution is smooth with the exception of finitely many singular points. Finally, we discuss the con…

We study the mean curvature flow with given non-smooth transport term and forcing term, in suitable Sobolev spaces. We prove the global existence of the weak solutions for the mean curvature flow with the terms, by using the modified Allen-Cahn equation that holds useful properties such as the monotonicity formula.

In this note, we prove the existence of weak solutions of the Chern-Ricci flow through blow downs of exceptional curves, as well as backwards smooth convergence away from the exceptional curves on compact complex surfaces. The smoothing property for the Chern-Ricci flow is also obtained on compact Hermitian manifolds o…

This paper concerns the inverse mean curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces which are Lipschitz in general. After defining a weak solution, we study the evolution of the singularity by looking at the blow-up tangent cone around each singular point. We prove the cone also evolves by the inverse mean curvature flow and e…

We study the phase field method for the volume preserving mean curvature flow. Given an initial $C^1$ hypersurface we proved the existence of the weak solution for the volume preserving mean curvature flow via the reaction diffusion equation with a nonlocal term. We also show the monotonicity formula and the density up…

The strong maximum principle is proved to hold for weak (in the sense of support functions) sub- and super-solutions to a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations that includes the mean curvature equation for $C^0$ spacelike hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian manifold. As one application a Lorentzian warped product splittin…

By making use of the nice behavior of Hawking masses of slices of a weak solution of inverse mean curvature flow in three dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, we are able to show that each slice of the flow is star-shaped after a long time, and then we get the regularity of the weak solution of inverse mean…

In this paper we study constant scalar curvature equation (CSCK), a nonlinear fourth order elliptic equation, and its weak solutions on Kähler manifolds. We first define a notion of weak solution of CSCK for an $L^\infty$ Kähler metric. The main result is to show that such a weak solution (with uniform $L^\infty$ bound…

We consider the problem of evolving hypersurfaces by mean curvature flow in the presence of obstacles, that is domains which the flow is not allowed to enter. In this paper, we treat the case of complete graphs and explain how the approach of M. Saez and the second author yields a global weak solution to the original p…

This is the first of a series of papers, where we introduce a new class of estimates for the Ricci flow, and use them both to characterize solutions of the Ricci flow and to provide a notion of weak solutions to the Ricci flow in the nonsmooth setting. In this first paper, we prove various new estimates for the Ricci f…

We are concerned with the global weak continuity of the Cartan structural system -- or equivalently, the Gauss--Codazzi--Ricci system -- on semi-Riemannian manifolds with lower regularity. For this purpose, we first formulate and prove a geometric compensated compactness theorem on vector bundles over semi-Riemannian m…

In the category of metrics with conical singularities along a smooth divisor with angle in $(0, 2π)$, we show that locally defined weak solutions ($C^{1,1}-$solutions) to the Kähler-Einstein equations actually possess maximum regularity, which means the metrics are actually Hölder continuous in the singular polar coord…

Weak supervision is a popular method for building machine learning models without relying on ground truth annotations. Instead, it generates probabilistic training labels by estimating the accuracies of multiple noisy labeling sources (e.g., heuristics, crowd workers). Existing approaches use latent variable estimation…
