Consider a complex analytic manifold $X$ and a coherent Lie subalgebra $\shi$ of the Lie algebra of complex vector fields on $X$. By using a natural $\shd_X$-module $\shm_\shi$ naturally associated to $\shi$ and the ring (in the derived sense) $\rhom[\shd_X](\shm_\shi,\shm_\shi)$, we associate integers which measure th…

In this paper, we extend Lotay-Wei's Shi-type estimate from Laplacian flow to more general flows of G$_2$ structures including the modified Laplacian co-flow. Then we prove a version of $κ$-non-collapsing theorem. We will use both of them to study finite time singularities of general flows of G$_2$ structures.

The paper analyzes finite-time singularities in Spin(7)-structure flows using Shi-type estimates.

In this paper, we present an approach for identification of actions within depth action videos. First, we process the video to get motion history images (MHIs) and static history images (SHIs) corresponding to an action video based on the use of 3D Motion Trail Model (3DMTM). We then characterize the action video by ex…

In 1996, Shi generalized the epsilon-regularity theorem of Schoen and Uhlenbeck to energy-minimizing harmonic maps from a domain equipped with a bounded measurable Riemannian metric. In the present work we prove a compactness result for such energy-minimizing maps. As an application, we combine our result with Shi's th…

We give a simple proof of an extension of the existence results of Ricci flow of G.Giesen and P.M.Topping [GiT1],[GiT2], on incomplete surfaces with bounded above Gauss curvature without using the difficult Shi's existence theorem of Ricci flow on complete non-compact surfaces and the pseudolocality theorem of G.Perelm…

Motivated by the quasi-local mass problem in general relativity, we apply the asymptotically flat extensions, constructed by Shi and Tam in the proof of the positivity of the Brown--York mass, to study a fill-in problem of realizing geometric data on a 2-sphere as the boundary of a compact 3-manifold of nonnegative sca…

In this paper, we give the first detailed proof of the short-time existence of Deane Yang's local Ricci flow. Then using the local Ricci flow, we prove short-time existence of the Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds, whose Ricci curvature has global lower bound and sectional curvature has only local average integral bou…

In this article we study the short-time existence of conformal Ricci flow on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. We also prove a local Shi's type curvature derivative estimate for conformal Ricci flow.

Harmonic maps are described using Jacobi elliptic functions.

We construct a uniform local bound of curvature operator from local bounds of Ricci curvature and injectivity radius among all $n$-dimensional Ricci flows. Thus new compactness theorems for the Ricci flow and Ricci solitons are derived. In particular, we show that every Ricci flow with $|Ric|\leq K$ must satisfy $|Rm|\…

In this work, we first establish short time existence and Shi's type estimate of second Ricci flow on complete noncompact Hermitian manifolds. As an application, we use the second Ricci flow to discuss the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metric on complete noncompact Hermitian manifolds.

In this short note we present local derivative estimates for heat equations on Riemannian manifolds following the line of W.-X. Shi. As an application we generalize a second derivative estimate of R. Hamilton for heat equations on compact manifolds to noncompact case.

China Vanke Co. faced a hostile takeover by Baoneng Group, sparking controversy.

Suppose that $Σ=\partial M$ is the $n$-dimensional boundary of a connected compact Riemannian spin manifold $( M,\langle\;,\;\rangle)$ with non-negative scalar curvature, and that the (inward) mean curvature $H$ of $Σ$ is positive. We show that the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator of the boundary corresponding to…

Min-cut clustering, based on minimizing one of two heuristic cost-functions proposed by Shi and Malik, has spawned tremendous research, both analytic and algorithmic, in the graph partitioning and image segmentation communities over the last decade. It is however unclear if these heuristics can be derived from a more g…

We develop foundational theory for the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures which will be essential for future study. (1). We prove Shi-type derivative estimates for the Riemann curvature tensor Rm and torsion tensor T along the flow, i.e. that a bound on $Λ(x,t)=\left(|\nabla T(x,t)|_{g(t)}^2+|Rm(x,t)|_{g(t)}^2\ri…

Study harmonic flow of Spin(7)-structures on compact 8-manifolds.

We construct asymptotically flat, scalar flat extensions of Bartnik data $(Σ, γ, H)$, where $γ$ is a metric of positive Gauss curvature on a two-sphere $Σ$, and $H$ is a function that is either positive or identically zero on $Σ$, such that the mass of the extension can be made arbitrarily close to the half area radius…

The paper provides gradient estimates for a parabolic equation under Finsler geometric flows.

On a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary having positive mean curvature, a fundamental result of Shi and Tam states that, if the manifold has nonnegative scalar curvature and if the boundary is isometric to a strictly convex hypersurface in the Euclidean space, then the total mean curvature of the boundary is no …

In this note we obtain local derivative estimates of Shi-type for the heat equation coupled to the Ricci flow. As applications, in part combining with Kuang's work, we extend some results of Zhang and Bamler-Zhang including distance distortion estimates and a backward pseudolocality theorem for Ricci flow on compact ma…

Study bounds total mean curvature of fill-ins with scalar curvature constraints.

In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points are Ricci-flat metrics. Modifying the argument used by Shi and List, we prove the…

In this article, inspired by Shi, et al. we investigate the optimal portfolio selection with one risk-free asset and one risky asset in a multiple period setting under cumulative prospect theory (CPT). Compared with their study, our novelty is that we consider a stochastic benchmark, and portfolio constraints. We test …

The Positive Mass Theorem for special singular initial data.

We survey recent progress in the study of $G_{2}$-structure Laplacian coflows, that is, heat flows of co-closed $G_{2}$-structures. We introduce the properties of the original Laplacian coflow of $G_{2}$-structures as well as the modified coflow, reviewing short-time existence and uniqueness results for the modified co…

In this paper, we obtain a positivity result of a quasi-local mass integral as proposed by Shi and Tam in general dimensions. The main argument is based on the monotonicity of a mass integral in a foliation of quasi-spherical metrics and a positive mass type theorem which was proved by Wang and Yau in the three dimensi…

In this note, we prove the following generalization of a theorem of Shi and Tam \cite{ShiTam02}: Let $(Ω, g)$ be an $n$-dimensional ($n \geq 3$) compact Riemannian manifold, spin when $n>7$, with non-negative scalar curvature and mean convex boundary. If every boundary component $Σ_i$ has positive scalar curvature and …

Positive mass theorem for tori with scalar curvature bounds.

We construct a solution to inverse mean curvature flow on an asymptotically hyperbolic 3-manifold which does not have the convergence properties needed in order to prove a Penrose--type inequality. This contrasts sharply with the asymptotically flat case. The main idea consists in combining inverse mean curvature flow …

Paper proposes a new method to handle missing data in medical records using sequential variational autoencoders.

Ansatze are constructed under which the solutions of 11D supergravity must be stationary points of a parabolic flow on a Riemannian manifold $M^{10-p}$. This parabolic flow turns out to be the Ricci flow coupled to a scalar field, a $(3-p)$-form, and a $4$-form. This allows the introduction of techniques from parabolic…

We consider a hyperbolic Dirac-type operator with growing potential on a a spatially non-compact globally hyperbolic manifold. We show that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary value problem for such operator is Fredholm and obtain a formula for this index in terms of the local integrals and the relative eta-invariant int…
