On the cross curvature flow

In this paper, we study the cross curvature soliton. We study the cross curvature soliton with a warped product structure. On the other hand, we show that the volume entropy is decreasing along the cross curvature flow.     

Hamiltonian flows on the space of star-shaped curves

We provide a geometric interpretation of the KdV equation as an evolution equation on the space of closed curves in the centroaffine plane. There is a natural symplectic structure on this space and the KdV-flow is generated by a Hamiltonian given by the total centroaffine curvature. In this way we obtain another example for a soliton equation coming naturally from a differential geometric problem [1]. Furthermore, we present a group action of the diffeomorphism group of the circle on the space of closed centroaffine curves.     

Mean curvature flow with a forcing term in minkowski space

We study the forced mean curvature flow of graphs in Minkowski space and prove longtime existence of solutions. When the forcing term is a constant, we prove convergence to either a constant mean curvature hypersurface or a translating soliton – depending on the boundary conditions at infinity. It is a pleasure to thank my PhD advisors Klaus Ecker and Gerhard Huisken for their assistance and encouragement. I also thank Maria Athanassenas, Oliver Schnürrer and Marty Ross for their interest and useful comments, and the Max Planck Gesellschaft for financial support.

Asymptotics for Supersonic Soliton Propagation in the Toda Lattice Equation

We study the problem of the adjustment of an initial condition to an exact supersonic soliton solution of the Toda latice equation. Also, we study the problem of soliton propagation in the Toda lattice with slowly varying mass impurities. In both cases we obtain the full numerical solution of the soliton evolution and we develop a modulation theory based on the averaged Lagrangian of the discrete Toda equation. Unlike previous problems with coherent subsonic solutions we need to modify the averaged Lagrangian to obtain the coupling between the supersonic soliton and the subsonic linear radiation. We show how this modified modulation theory explains qualitatively in simple terms the evolution of a supersonic soliton in the presence of impurities. The quantitative agreement between the modulation solution and the numerical result is good.     

Expanding solitons to the Hermitian curvature flow on complex Lie groups

We investigate the algebraic structure of complex Lie groups equipped with left-invariant metrics which are expanding semi-algebraic solitons to the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF). We show that the Lie algebras of such Lie groups decompose in the semidirect product of a reductive Lie subalgebra with their nilradicals. Furthermore, we give a structural result concerning expanding semi-algebraic solitons on complex Lie groups. It turns out that the restriction of the soliton metric to the nilradical is also an expanding algebraic soliton and we explain how to construct expanding solitons on complex Lie groups starting from expanding solitons on their nilradicals.     

Evolution of Nonparametric Surfaces with Speed Depending on Curvature Function

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of solution of the initial-boundary value problem for the equation, which describes the evolution of graphs with speed depending on curvature function of current graphs. In contrast with [1-5] and others, in which the speed of flow of graphs is directly proportional to the curvature of graphs, here we discuss is that the speed is inversely proportional to the curvature of graphs, and our methods is different from theirs.     

A Relation between Mean Curvature Flow Solitons and Minimal Submanifolds

We derive a one to one correspondence between conformal solitons of the mean curvature flow in an ambient space N and minimal submanifolds in a different ambient space where equals ℝ × N equipped with a warped product metric and show that a submanifold inN converges to a conformal soliton under the mean curvature flow in N if and only if its associatedsubmanifold in converges to a minimal submanifold under a rescaled mean curvature flow in . We then define a notion of stability for conformal solitons and obtain L^p estimates as well as pointwise estimates for the curvature of stable solitons.     

The conjugate heat equation and Ancient solutions of the Ricci flow

We prove Gaussian type bounds for the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation evolving under the Ricci flow. As a consequence, for dimension 4 and higher, we show that the backward limit of Type I κ-solutions of the Ricci flow must be a non-flat gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. This extends Perelman?s previous result on backward limits of κ-solutions in dimension 3, in which case the curvature operator is nonnegative (it follows from Hamilton–Ivey curvature pinching estimate). As an application, this also addresses an issue left in Naber (2010) [23], where Naber proves the interesting result that there exists a Type I dilation limit that converges to a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton, but that soliton might be flat. The Gaussian bounds that we obtain on the fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation under evolving metric might be of independent interest.     

CONVEXITY AND SYMMETRY OF TRANSLATING SOLITONS IN MEAN CURVATURE FLOWS

This paper proves that any rotationally symmetric translating soliton of mean curvature flow in R3 is strictly convex if it is not a plane and it intersects its symmetric axis at one point. The authors also study the symmetry of any translating soliton of mean curvature flow in Rn.     

Stability of translating solutions to mean curvature flow

We prove stability of rotationally symmetric translating solutions to mean curvature flow. For initial data that converge spatially at infinity to such a soliton, we obtain convergence for large times to that soliton without imposing any decay rates.

Envelope soliton resonances and broer-kaup-type non-madelung fluids

We derive an extended nonlinear dispersion for envelope soliton equations and also find generalized equations of the nonlinear Schr?dinger (NLS) type associated with this dispersion. We show that space dilatations imply hyperbolic rotation of the pair of dual equations, the NLS and resonant NLS (RNLS) equations. For the RNLS equation, in addition to the Madelung fluid representation, we find an alternative non-Madelung fluid system in the form of a Broer-Kaup system. Using the bilinear form for the RNLS equation, we construct the soliton resonances for the Broer-Kaup system and find the corresponding integrals of motion and existence conditions for the soliton resonance and also a geometric interpretation in terms of a pseudo-Riemannian surface of constant curvature. This approach can be extended to construct a resonance version and the corresponding Broer-Kaup-type representation for any envelope soliton equation. As an example, we derive a new modified Broer-Kaup system from the modified NLS equation.     

Bakry–Emery Curvature Operator and Ricci Flow

In this paper, we introduce some techniques of Bakry–Emery curvature operator to Ricci flow and prove the evolution equation for the Bakry–Emery scalar curvature. As its application, we can easily derive the Perelman’s entropy functional monotonicity formula. We also discuss some gradient estimates of Ricci curvature and L ²– estimates of scalar curvature.Project partially supported by Yumiao Fund of Putian University.     

The Darboux transformation associated with two-parameter lattice soliton equation

A new discrete matrix spectral problem with two arbitrary constants is introduced. The corresponding two-parameter integrable lattice soliton equation is obtained through the discrete zero curvature representation, and the resulting integrable lattice equation reduce to the Toda lattice in rational form for a special choice of the parameters. A Darboux transformation (DT) for the lattice soliton equation is constructed. As an application, an explicit solution of the two-parameter lattice soliton equation is presented.     

The K¨ahler-Ricci Flow on K¨ahler Manifolds with 2-Non-negative Traceless Bisectional Curvature Operator

The authors show that the 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature is preserved along the Kahler-Ricci flow. The positivity of Ricci curvature is also preserved along the Kahler-Ricci flow with 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature. As a corol- lary, the Kahler-Ricci flow with 2-non-negative traceless bisectional curvature will converge to a Kahler-Ricci soliton in the sense of Cheeger-Cromov-Hausdorff topology if complex dimension n ≥ 3.     

Noncommutative integrable coupling system of TC equation hierarchy

A noncommutative version of the TC soliton equation hierarchy is presented, which possesses the zero curvature representation. Then, we show that noncommutative (NC) TC equation can be derived from the noncommutative (anti-)self-dual Yang-Mills equation by reduction. Finally, an integrable coupling system of the NC TC equation hierarchy is constructed by using of the enlarged Lax pairs.     

Compact gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with positive curvature operator

In this article, we first derive several identities on a compact shrinking Ricci soliton. We then show that a compact gradient shrinking soliton must be Einstein, if it admits a Riemannian metric with positive curvature operator and satisfies an integral inequality. Furthermore, such a soliton must be of constant curvature.

Evolution of hypersurfaces by the mean curvature minus an external force field

In this paper, we study the evolution of hypersurface moving by the mean curvature minus an external force field. It is shown that the flow will blow up in a finite time if the mean curvature of the initial surface is larger than some constant depending on the boundness of derivatives of the external force field. For a linear force, we prove that the convexity of the hypersurface is preserved during the evolution and the flow has a unique smooth solution in any finite time and expands to infinity as the time tends to infinity if the initial curvature is smaller than the slope of the force.
