Proof of Isoperimetric Inequality using Curve Shortening Flow

I am aware that there is a nice result where one uses curve shortening flow to prove the isoperimetric inequality on the Euclidean plane, but could not seem to find the original article where this was …

Are there currently any plausible approaches to proving the Penrose сonjecture?

I have recently been reading some of the literature on the Penrose inequality, especially the papers by Bray and by Huisken and Ilmanen. One notices immediately that the existing proofs for the Penro …

Neckpinch singularity of Ricci flow

I apologise if this question is unclear as I do not know much about the Ricci flow and am only asking out of curiosity. My understanding is that a neckpinch singularity is a local singularity in the …

Ricci flow proof of isoperimetric inequality

It is well-known in geometric analysis that one can use curve-shortening flow to prove the isoperimetric inequality (where the general result requires curve-shortening flow for non-convex curves). I …

Modelling fluid flows with mean curvature flow

A while ago I was wondering if the displacement of fluid described in this blog post could be modelled with mean curvature flow or some other flow, but when I asked someone in Engineering they replied …

Is there a solution of the Yamabe problem using Ricci flow?

Someone told me that it is possible to solve the Yamabe problem using Ricci flow. The proof I know of is the one originally proposed by Yamabe and then completed by Trudinger, Aubin and Schoen (in pa …

Formal mathematical definition of renormalization group flow

I was watching some lectures by Huisken where he mentioned that one-loop renormalization group flow was in some analogous to mean curvature flow. I have tried reading up the exact definition of what …
