In this note we establish exponentially fast smooth convergence for global curve diffusion flows, and discuss open problems relating embeddedness to global existence (Gigas conjecture) and the shape of Type I singularities (Chous conjecture).

The Hodge star mean curvature flow on a 3-dimension Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold, the geometric Airy flow on a Riemannian manifold, the Schrodingier flow on Hermitian manifolds, and the shape operator curve flow on submanifolds are natural non-linear dispersive curve flows in geometric analysis. A curve flow is integrable if the evolution equation of the local differential invariants of a solution of the curve flow is a soliton equation. For example, the Hodge star mean curvature flow on $R^3$ and on $R^{2,1}$, the geometric Airy flow on $R^n$, the Schrodingier flow on compact Hermitian symmetric spaces, and the shape operator curve flow on an Adjoint orbit of a compact Lie group are integrable. In this paper, we give a survey of these results, describe a systematic method to construct integrable curve flows from Lax pairs of soliton equations, and discuss the Hamiltonian aspect and the Cauchy problem of these curve flows.
In this paper we prove convergence and compactness results for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature and entropy. More specifically, we show that Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature converge smoothly away from a singular set of codimension $geq 4$. We also establish a general form of the Hamilton-Tian Conjecture, which is even true in the Riemannian case. These results are based on a compactness theorem for Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature, which states that any sequence of such Ricci flows converges, after passing to a subsequence, to a metric space that is smooth away from a set of codimension $geq 4$. In the course of the proof, we will also establish $L^{p < 2}$-curvature bounds on time-slices of such flows.
We show that any initial closed curve suitably close to a circle flows under length-constrained curve diffusion to a round circle in infinite time with exponential convergence. We provide an estimate on the total length of time for which such curves are not strictly convex. We further show that there are no closed translating solutions to the flow and that the only closed rotators are circles.
We construct a sequence of commuting central affine curve flows on $R^nbackslash 0$ invariant under the action of $SL(n,R)$ and prove the following results: (a) The central affine curvatures of a solution of the j-th central affine curve flow is a solution of the j-th flow of Gelfand-Dickey (GD$_n$) hierarchy on the space of n-th order differential operators. (b) We use the solution of the Cauchy problems of the GD$_n$ flow to solve the Cauchy problems for the central affine curve flows with periodic initial data and also with initial data whose central affine curvatures are rapidly decaying. (c) We obtain a bi-Hamiltonian structure for the central affine curve flow hierarchy and prove that it arises naturally from the Poisson structures of certain co-adjoint orbits. (d) We construct Backlund transformations, infinitely many families of explicit solutions and give a permutability formula for these curve flows.
In this paper, we consider a new length preserving curve flow for convex curves in the plane. We show that the global flow exists, the area of the region bounded by the evolving curve is increasing, and the evolving curve converges to the circle in C-infinity topology as t goes to infinity.
