We produce longtime solutions to the Kähler-Ricci flow for complete Kähler metrics on $\Bbb C ^n$ without assuming the initial metric has bounded curvature, thus extending results in [3]. We prove the existence of a longtime bounded curvature solution emerging from any complete $U(n)$-invariant Kähler metric with non-n…

New flow solves LYZ equation on Kähler manifolds.

In this work, we obtain a existence criteria for the longtime Kähler Ricci flow solution. Using the existence result, we generalize a result by Wu-Yau on the existence of Kähler Einstein metric to the case with possibly unbounded curvature. Moreover, the Kähler Einstein metric with negative scalar curvture must be uniq…

We reduce the embedding problem for hypo SU(2) and SU(3)-structures to the embedding problem for hypo G2-structures into parallel Spin(7)-manifolds. The latter will be described in terms of gauge deformations. This description involves the intrinsic torsion of the initial G2-structure and allows us to prove that the ev…

In this paper we study the Type IIb mean curvature flow. We first prove that if the convex entire graph $(y,u(|y|))$ over $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, satisfying there exist positive constants $ε$, $c$ and $N$ such that $u'(r)\geq c r^ε$ for $r\geq N$, the longtime solution to mean curvature flow with initial data $(y,…

We consider mean curvature flow of an initial surface that is the graph of a function over some domain of definition in $R^n$. If the graph is not complete then we impose a constant Dirichlet boundary condition at the boundary of the surface. We establish longtime-existence of the flow and investigate the projection of…

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…

We prove the longtime existence and convergence of the Calabi flow on toric Fano surfaces in a large family of Kahler classes where the class has positive extremal Hamiltonian potential and the initial Calabi energy is bounded by some constant. This is an extension of our previous work. We use the toric condition in a …

We consider the mean curvature flow of entire Lagrangian graphs with Lipschitz continuous initial data. Assuming only a certain bound on the Lipschitz norm of an initial entire Lagrangian graph in $\R^{2n}$, we show that the parabolic equation \eqref{PMA} for the Lagrangian potential has a longtime solution which is sm…

In this paper, we study a mean curvature type flow with capillary boundary in the unit ball. Our flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed by the hypersurface, and monotonically decreases an energy functional $E$. We show that it has the longtime existence and subconverges to spherical caps. As an applic…

We consider inverse curvature flows in warped product manifolds, which are constrained subject to local terms of lower order, namely the radial coordinate and the generalized support function. Under various assumptions we prove longtime existence and smooth convergence to a coordinate slice. We apply this result to ded…

In this article, we introduce a new type of mean curvature flow for bounded star-shaped domains in space forms and prove its longtime existence, exponential convergence without any curvature assumption. Along this flow, the enclosed volume is a constant and the surface area evolves monotonically. Moreover, for a bounde…

We prove a monotonicity formula for mean curvature flow with surgery. This formula differs from Huisken's monotonicity formula by an extra term involving the mean curvature. As a consequence, we show that a surgically modified flow which is sufficiently close to a smooth flow in the sense of geometric measure theory is…
