Flows of vector fields and diffeomorphisms isotopic to the identity

Let $M$ be a compact manifold and $\varphi : M \longrightarrow M$ be a diffeomorphism which is isotopic to the identity. Does there exist a vector field $ X $ on $M$ such that $\varphi$ is the flow at …

Metrics with fixed conformal structure and diameter

I have three questions. I consider a sequence of metrics $h_n$ on a two-dimensional torus which all induce the same conformal structure. Suppose that the volume of $h_n$ is always $1$. Is it possibl …

Zone of negative curvature on surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$

I consider the standard embedding of a compact oriented surface $\Sigma$ (say of genus 2) in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$. I have coloured on the picture below the zone of this surface where the …

Surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^3$ invariant by an affine map

I have a rather elementary question. I would like to know what are the surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are globally preserved by the action of a linear or affine map in a non trivial way. This quest …

Variations of the mean curvature

Good evening everyone, I am facing a technical problem, maybe one of you can help. Given a spacelike surface $S$ with mean curvature 0 in a lorentzian $3$-manifold with constant sectionnal curvature …
