Global existence of Yamabe flow on non-compact manifolds with unbounded initial curvature.

Study focal surfaces of wave fronts with unbounded curvatures.

Given a completely arbitrary surface, whether or not it has bounded curvature, or even whether or not it is complete, there exists an instantaneously complete Ricci flow evolution of that surface that exists for a specific amount of time [GT11]. In the case that the underlying Riemann surface supports a hyperbolic metr…

We produce solutions to the Kähler-Ricci flow emerging from complete initial metrics $g_0$ which are $C^0$ Hermitian limits of Kähler metrics. Of particular interest is when $g_0$ is Kähler with unbounded curvature. We provide such solutions for a wide class of $U(n)$-invariant Kähler metrics $g_0$ on $n$ dimensional c…

We use a first-order energy quantity to prove a strengthened statement of uniqueness for the Ricci flow. One consequence of this statement is that if a complete solution on a noncompact manifold has uniformly bounded Ricci curvature, then its sectional curvature will remain bounded for a short time if it is bounded ini…

We prove the short-time existence of Ricci flows on complete manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below uniformly, Ricci curvature bounded below by a negative quadratic function, and with almost Euclidean isoperimetric inequality holds locally. In particular, this result applies to manifolds with both Ricci curvatur…

Unbounded convex domains have zero mean curvature on disconnected boundaries.

Proves long-time Ricci flow existence and topological rigidity for pinched integral curvature manifolds.

We show the properties of the blowup limits of \KRf solutions on Fano surfaces if Riemannian curvature is unbounded. As an application, on every toric Fano surface, we prove that \KRf converges to a Kähler Ricci soliton metric if the initial metric has toric symmetry. Therefore we give a new Ricci flow proof of existen…

Gradient estimates for unbounded graph Laplacians under Bakry-Emery curvature.

We revisit the problem of uniqueness for the Ricci flow and give a short, direct proof, based on the consideration of a simple energy quantity, of Hamilton/Chen-Zhu's theorem on the uniqueness of complete solutions of uniformly bounded curvature. With a variation of this quantity and technique, we further prove a uniqu…

The paper provides gradient estimates for Neumann semigroups on manifolds with boundary under unbounded curvature conditions.

We show that in dimension 4 and above, the lifespan of Ricci flows depends on the relative smallness of the Ricci curvature compared to the Riemann curvature on the initial manifold. We can generalize this lifespan estimate to the local Ricci flow, using which we prove the short-time existence of Ricci flow solutions o…

In this paper, we provided conditions for an entire constant mean curvature Killing graph lying inside a possible unbounded region to be necessarily a slice.

We show that any noncompact Riemann surface admits a complete Ricci flow g(t), t\in[0,\infty), which has unbounded curvature for all t\in[0,\infty).

We construct a complete, embedded minimal surface in euclidean 3-space which has unbounded Gaussian curvature. It has infinite genus, infinitely many catenoidal type ends and one limit end.

We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.

In this paper, we discuss uniqueness and backward uniqueness for mean curvature flow of non-compact manifolds. We use an energy argument to prove two uniqueness theorems for mean curvature flow with possibly unbounded curvatures. These generalize the results by Chen and Yin. Using similar method, we also obtain a uniqu…

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of nonnegative complex sectional curvature. We do not require upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger-Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these …

In this paper, we derive Li-Yau inequality for unbounded Laplacian on complete weighted graphs with the assumption of the curvature-dimension inequality $CDE'(n,K)$, which can be regarded as a notion of curvature on graphs. Furthermore, we obtain some applications of Li-Yau inequality, including Harnack inequality, hea…

Paper proves existence of isometric immersions for negatively curved surfaces with unbounded second fundamental form.

We consider nonnegative solutions of the porous medium equation (PME) on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold whose negative curvature can be unbounded. We take compactly supported initial data because we are also interested in free boundaries. We classify the geometrical cases we study into quasi-hyperbolic, quasi-Euclidean and…

The paper shows how curves converge to a grim reaper with unbounded slopes.

We establish the monotonicity property for the mass of non-pluripolar products on compact Kahler manifolds, and we initiate the study of complex Monge-Ampere type equations with prescribed singularity type. Using the variational method of Berman-Boucksom-Guedj-Zeriahi we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions with…

After establishing some new global facts (like a measure theoretic structure theorem and approximation results) about complex-valued functions with bounded variation on arbitrary noncompact Riemannian manifolds, we extend results of Miranda/the second author/Paronetto/Preunkert and of Carbonaro/Mauceri on the heat semi…

Proves uniqueness of Ricci flow with scaling invariant estimates.

In this paper, we prove the existence of classical solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a class of quasi-linear elliptic equations on unbounded domains like a cone or a U-type domain. This problem comes from the study of mean curvature flow and its generalization, the flow by powers of mean curvature. Our approach is…

Surveying Ricci flow and its applications to Ricci limit spaces.

We factorize the Dirac operator on the Connes-Landi 4-sphere in unbounded KK-theory. We show that a family of Dirac operators along the orbits of the torus action defines an unbounded Kasparov module, while the Dirac operator on the principal orbit space -an open quadrant in the 2-sphere- defines a half-closed chain. W…

Constructs unbounded KK-cycles for Riemannian embeddings in codimension one.

In this paper, we give a height estimate for constant mean curvature graphs. Using this result we prove two results of uniqueness for the Dirichlet problem associated to the constant mean curvature equation on unbounded domains.

The paper proves density of smooth functions in Sobolev spaces on certain manifolds.

Elton P. Hsu used probabilistic method to show that the asymptotic Dirichlet problem is uniquely solvable under the curvature conditions $-C e^{2-η}r(x) \leq K_M(x)\leq -1$ with $η>0$. We give an analytical proof of the same statement. In addition, using this new approach we are able to establish two boundary Harnack i…

The stabilisation height of a fibre surface in the 3-sphere is the minimal number of Hopf plumbing operations needed to attain a stable fibre surface from the initial surface. We show that families of fibre surfaces related by iterated Stallings twists have unbounded stabilisation height.

Generalizes Ricci flow starting from small curvature concentration with a Morrey-type condition.

We discuss the cobordism type of spin manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. We show that in each dimension $4k \geq 12$, there are infinitely many cobordism types of simply connected and nonnegatively curved spin manifolds. Moreover, we raise and analyze a question about possible cobordism obstructions to non…

Given an unbounded domain $Ω$ of a Hadamard manifold $M$, it makes sense to consider the problem of finding minimal graphs with prescribed continuous data on its cone-topology-boundary, i.e., on its ordinary boundary together with its asymptotic boundary. In this article it is proved that under the hypothesis that the …

Extends Alexandrov's result to unbounded convex domains in hyperbolic 3-space.

In this article we investigate the restrictions imposed by the dominant energy condition (DEC) on the topology and conformal type of \textsl{possibly non-compact} marginally outer-trapped surfaces (thus extending Hawking's classical theorem on the topology of black holes). We first prove that an unbounded, stable margi…

We investigate the $L^p$-boundness of the Riesz transform on Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature has quadratic decay. Two criteria for the $L^p$-unboundness of the Riesz transform are given. We recover known results about manifolds that are Euclidean or conical at infinity.

We prove that any rational linear combination of Pontryagin numbers that is not a multiple of the signature is unbounded on connected closed oriented manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature. Combining our result with Gromov's finiteness result for the signature yields a new characterization of the L-genus.
