We continue studying a parabolic flow of almost K{a}hler structures introduced by Streets and Tian which naturally extends K{a}hler-Ricci flow onto symplectic manifolds. In the system of primarily the symplectic form, almost complex structure, Chern torsion and Chern connection, we establish new formulas for the evolutions of canonical quantities, in particular those related to the Chern connection. Using this, we give an extended characterization of fixed points of the flow originally performed by Streets and Tian.

In this note, we study the curvature flow to Nirenberg problem on $S^2$ with non-negative nonlinearity. This flow was introduced by Brendle and Struwe. Our result is that the Nirenberg problems has a solution provided the prescribed non-negative Gaussian curvature $f$ has its positive part, which possesses non-degenerate critical points such that $Delta_{S^2} f>0$ at the saddle points.
We prove the mean curvature flow of a spacelike graph in $(Sigma_1times Sigma_2, g_1-g_2)$ of a map $f:Sigma_1to Sigma_2$ from a closed Riemannian manifold $(Sigma_1,g_1)$ with $Ricci_1> 0$ to a complete Riemannian manifold $(Sigma_2,g_2)$ with bounded curvature tensor and derivatives, and with sectional curvatures satisfying $K_2leq K_1$, remains a spacelike graph, exists for all time, and converges to a slice at infinity. We also show, with no need of the assumption $K_2leq K_1$, that if $K_1>0$, or if $Ricci_1>0$ and $K_2leq -c$, $c>0$ constant, any map $f:Sigma_1to Sigma_2$ is trivially homotopic provided $f^*g_2<rho g_1$ where $rho=min_{Sigma_1}K_1/sup_{Sigma_2}K_2^+geq 0$, in case $K_1>0$, and $rho=+infty$ in case $K_2leq 0$. This largely extends some known results for $K_i$ constant and $Sigma_2$ compact, obtained using the Riemannian structure of $Sigma_1times Sigma_2$, and also shows how regularity theory on the mean curvature flow is simpler and more natural in pseudo-Riemannian setting then in the Riemannian one.
In this note, we study Q-curvature flow on $S^4$ with indefinite nonlinearity. Our result is that the prescribed Q-curvature problem on $S^4$ has a solution provided the prescribed Q-curvature $f$ has its positive part, which possesses non-degenerate critical points such that $Delta_{S^4} f ot=0$ at the saddle points and an extra condition such as a nontrivial degree counting condition.
We prove some non-existence theorems for translating solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow. More precisely, we show that translating solutions with an $L^2$ bound on the mean curvature are planes and that almost-calibrated translating solutions which are static are also planes. Recent work of D. Joyce, Y.-I. Lee, and M.-P. Tsui, shows that these conditions are optimal.
In the last 15 years, White and Huisken-Sinestrari developed a far-reaching structure theory for the mean curvature flow of mean convex hypersurfaces. Their papers provide a package of estimates and structural results that yield a precise description of singularities and of high curvature regions in a mean convex flow. In the present paper, we give a new treatment of the theory of mean convex (and k-convex) flows. This includes: (1) an estimate for derivatives of curvatures, (2) a convexity estimate, (3) a cylindrical estimate, (4) a global convergence theorem, (5) a structure theorem for ancient solutions, and (6) a partial regularity theorem. Our new proofs are both more elementary and substantially shorter than the original arguments. Our estimates are local and universal. A key ingredient in our new approach is the new non- collapsing result of Andrews. Some parts are also inspired by the work of Perelman. In a forthcoming paper, we will give a new construction of mean curvature flow with surgery based on the theorems established in the present paper.
