We show some results for the $L^2$ curvature flow linked by the theme of addressing collapsing phenomena. First we show long time existence and convergence of the flow for $SO(3)$-invariant initial data on $S^3$, as well as a long time existence and convergence statement for three-manifolds with initial $L^2$ norm of curvature chosen small with respect only to the diameter and volume, which are both necessary dependencies for a result of this kind. In the critical dimension $n = 4$ we show a related low-energy convergence statement with an additional hypothesis. Finally we exhibit some finite time singularities in dimension $n geq 5$, and show examples of finite time singularities in dimension $n geq 6$ which are collapsed on the scale of curvature.

We investigate the low-energy behavior of the gradient flow of the $L^2$ norm of the Riemannian curvature on four-manifolds. Specifically, we show long time existence and exponential convergence to a metric of constant sectional curvature when the in itial metric has positive Yamabe constant and small initial energy.

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.

We consider the quermassintegral preserving flow of closed emph{h-convex} hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with the speed given by any positive power of a smooth symmetric, strictly increasing, and homogeneous of degree one function $f$ of the princ ipal curvatures which is inverse concave and has dual $f_*$ approaching zero on the boundary of the positive cone. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is emph{h-convex}, then the solution of the flow becomes strictly emph{h-convex} for $t>0$, the flow exists for all time and converges to a geodesic sphere exponentially in the smooth topology.

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 Gaus sian 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 bound ed 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.
