Mean Curvature Flow, Orbits, Moment Maps

چکیده
Given a Riemannian manifold together with a group of isometries, we discuss MCF of the orbits and some applications: eg, finding minimal orbits. We then specialize to Lagrangian orbits in Kaehler manifolds. In particular, in the Kaehler-Einstein case we find a relation between MCF and moment maps which, for example, proves that the minimal Lagrangian orbits are isolated.

Se p 20 02 Gauss Maps of the Mean Curvature Flow
Let F : Σ n × [0, T) → R n+m be a family of compact immersed sub-manifolds moving by their mean curvature vector. We show the Gauss maps γ : (Σ n , g t) → G(n, m) form a harmonic heat flow with respect to the time-dependent induced metric g t. This provides a more systematic approach to investigate higher codimension mean curvature flows. A direct consequence is any convex function on G(n, m) p...
متن کاملOn cohomogeneity one nonsimply connected 7-manifolds of constant positive curvature
In this paper, we give a classification of non simply connected seven dimensional Reimannian manifolds of constant positive curvature which admit irreducible cohomogeneity-one actions. We characterize the acting groups and describe the orbits. The first and second homo-topy groups of the orbits have been presented as well.

متن کاملMean Curvature Flow and Bernstein-calabi Results for Spacelike Graphs
This is a survey of our work on spacelike graphic submanifolds in pseudoRiemannian products, namely on Heinz-Chern and Bernstein-Calabi results and on the mean curvature flow, with applications to the homotopy of maps between Riemannian manifolds.
متن کاملSymbolic Dynamics for Hyperbolic Systems
◦ Geodesic flows on compact manifolds with negative sectional curvature. Later, we relax uniform hyperbolicity to an asymptotic one, called non-uniform hyperbolicity. Two examples of such systems are: ◦ Slow down of fA : T → T, see [9]. ◦ Geodesic flows on surfaces with nonpositive curvature. Introductory example: Smale’s horseshoe [21]. Let g : K → K be Smale’s horseshoe map, and σ : Σ→ Σ the ...
