AbstractWe prove several sharp one-sided pinching estimates for immersed and embedded hypersurfaces evolving by various fully nonlinear, one-homogeneous curvature flows by the method of Stampacchia iteration. These include sharp estimates for the largest principal curvature and the inscribed curvature (“cylindrical estimates”) for flows by concave speeds and a sharp estimate for the exscribed curvature for flows by convex speeds. Making use of a recent idea of Huisken and Sinestrari, we then obtain corresponding estimates for ancient solutions. In particular, this leads to various characterisations of the shrinking sphere amongst ancient solutions of these flows.

AbstractWe prove uniform curvature estimates for homogeneous Ricci flows: For a solution defined on $[0,t]$ the norm of the curvature tensor at time $t$ is bounded by the maximum of $C(n)/t$ and $C(n)({\mathrm{scal}}(g(t)) - {\mathrm{scal}}(g(0)) )$. This is used to show that solutions with finite extinction time are Type I, immortal solutions are Type III and ancient solutions are Type I, with constants depending only on the dimension $n$. A further consequence is that a non-collapsed homogeneous ancient solution on a compact homogeneous space emerges from a unique Einstein metric on that space. The above curvature estimates follow from a gap theorem for Ricci-flatness on homogeneous spaces. This theorem is proved by contradiction, using a local $W^{2,p}$ convergence result which holds without symmetry assumptions.

<p>Power convexities of a class of Hessian equations are considered in this paper. It is proved that some power functions of the smooth admissible solutions to the Hessian equations are strictly convex in the ball. For a special case of the equation, a lower bound principal curvature and Gaussian curvature estimates are given.</p>

In the paper, we find the sharp estimate of the best approximation, by entire functions of exponential type not greater than $\sigma$, for functions $f(x)$ from the class $W^r H^{\omega}$ such that $\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) = \lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = 0$,$$A_{\sigma}(W^r H^{\omega}_0)_C = \frac{1}{\sigma^{r+1}} \int\limits_0^{\pi} \Phi_{\pi, r}(t)\omega'(t/\sigma)dt$$for $\sigma > 0$, $r = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$ and concave modulus of continuity.Also, we calculate the supremum$$\sup\limits_{\substack{f\in L^{(r)}\\f \ne const}} \frac{\sigma^r A_{\sigma}(f)_L}{\omega (f^{(r)}, \pi/\sigma)_L} = \frac{K_L}{2}$$

AbstractWe construct new type II ancient compact solutions to the Yamabe flow. Our solutions are rotationally symmetric and converge, as{t\to{-}\infty}, to a tower of two spheres. Their curvature operator changes sign. We allow two time-dependent parameters in our ansatz. We use perturbation theory, via fixed point arguments, based on sharp estimates on ancient solutions of the approximated linear equation and careful estimation of the error terms which allow us to make the right choice of parameters. Our technique may be viewed as a parabolic analogue of gluing two exact solutions to the rescaled equation, that is the spheres, with narrow cylindrical necks to obtain a new ancient solution to the Yamabe flow. The result generalizes to the gluing ofkspheres for any{k\geq 2}, in such a way the configuration of radii of the spheres glued is driven as{t\to{-}\infty}by aFirst order Toda system.
