Extrinsic curvature flows and applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
These notes arose from a mini lecture series the author gave at Early Career Researchers Workshop on Geometric Analysis and PDEs, held in January 2020 The Mathematical Research Institute MATRIX. We discussed some classical aspects of expanding curvature flows obtained first applications. In these we will give detailed account what was covered during lectures.

Extrinsic Curvature Embedding Diagrams
Embedding diagrams have been used extensively to visualize the properties of curved space in Relativity. We introduce a new kind of embedding diagram based on the extrinsic curvature (instead of the intrinsic curvature). Such an extrinsic curvature embedding diagram, when used together with the usual kind of intrinsic curvature embedding diagram, carries the information of how a surface is embe...
متن کامل(Bosonic)Mass Meets (Extrinsic)Curvature
In this paper we discuss the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the point view of vacuum pairs, considered as ground states of a Yang-MillsHiggs gauge theory. We treat a vacuum as a section in an appropriate bundle that is naturally associated with a minimum of a (general) Higgs potential. Such a vacuum spontaneously breaks the underlying gauge symmetry if the invariance group of t...
متن کاملNonlocal Curvature Flows
This paper aims at building a unified framework to deal with a wide class of local and nonlocal translation-invariant geometric flows. We introduce a class of nonlocal generalized mean curvatures and prove the existence and uniqueness for the level set formulation of the corresponding geometric flows. We then introduce a class of generalized perimeters, whose first variation is an admissible ge...
متن کاملComplete surfaces with negative extrinsic curvature
N. V. Efimov [Efi64] proved that there is no complete, smooth surface in R with uniformly negative curvature. We extend this to isometric immersions in a 3-manifold with pinched curvature: if M has sectional curvature between two constants K2 and K3, then there exists K1 < min(K2, 0) such that M contains no smooth, complete immersed surface with curvature below K1. Optimal values of K1 are dete...
متن کاملExtrinsic Curvature Dependence of Nielsen-olesen Strings
It is shown how to treat the degrees of freedom of Nielsen-Olesen vortices in the 3+ 1dimensional U(1) higgs model by a collective coordinate method. In the london limit, where the higgs mass becomes infinite, the gauge and goldstone degrees of freedom are integrated out, resulting in the vortex world-sheet action. Introducing an ultraviolet cut-off mimics the effect of finite higgs mass. This ...
