Singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flow: zero-Maslov class case
We study singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flow in \C^n when the
initial condition is a zero-Maslov class Lagrangian. We start by showing that,
in this setting, singularities are unavoidable. More precisely, we construct
Lagrangians with arbitrarily small Lagrangian angle and Lagrangians which are
Hamiltonian isotopic to a plane that, nevertheless, develop finite time
singularities under mean curvature flow.
We then prove two theorems regarding the tangent flow at a singularity when
the initial condition is a zero-Maslov class Lagrangian. The first one (Theorem
A) states that that the rescaled flow at a singularity converges weakly to a
finite union of area-minimizing Lagrangian cones. The second theorem (Theorem
B) states that, under the additional assumptions that the initial condition is
an almost-calibrated and rational Lagrangian, connected components of the
rescaled flow converges to a single area-minimizing Lagrangian cone, as opposed
to a possible non-area-minimizing union of area-minimizing Lagrangian cones.
The latter condition is dense for Lagrangians with finitely generated

Mean Curvature Flow of Spacelike Graphs
We prove the mean curvature flow of a spacelike graph in of a map from a closed Riemannian
manifold with to a complete Riemannian manifold
with bounded curvature tensor and derivatives, and with
sectional curvatures satisfying , remains a spacelike graph,
exists for all time, and converges to a slice at infinity. We also show, with
no need of the assumption , that if , or if and
, constant, any map is trivially
homotopic provided where
, in case , and
in case . This largely extends some known results for
constant and compact, obtained using the Riemannian structure
of , 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.Comment: version 5: Math.Z (online first 30 July 2010). version 4: 30 pages:

The proofs are essentially the same. We change the title to a shorter one. We

Energy properness and Sasakian-Einstein metrics
In this paper, we show that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics is
closely related to the properness of corresponding energy functionals. Under
the condition that admitting no nontrivial Hamiltonian holomorphic vector
field, we prove that the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metric implies a
Moser-Trudinger type inequality. At the end of this paper, we also obtain a
Miyaoka-Yau type inequality in Sasakian geometry.Comment: 27 page
Impacts of soil conditions and light availability on natural regeneration of Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. in low-elevation mountain forests
& Key message Natural regeneration of P. abies (L.) H. Karst. may reach high densities in lower mountain elevations. The
highest densities were found in sites with moderate light availability, with low pH, and not near the riverbank. However,
age-height classes differed in the predicted magnitude of response, but were consistent in response directions. Mosses and
understory species typical of coniferous forests were positively correlated with regeneration density.
& Context Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. in Central Europe is at risk under climate change scenarios, particularly in
mountain regions. Little is known about the impact of environmental factors on the natural regeneration of P. abies in lowelevation mountain forests.
& Aims We aimed to assess impacts of distance from the riverbank, soil pH, and light availability on natural P. abies regeneration.
We hypothesized that (1) natural P. abiesregeneration would depend on light availability and soil pH and (2) there are understory
plant species which may indicate the microsites suitable for natural regeneration of P. abies.
& Methods The study was conducted in the Stołowe Mountains National Park (SW Poland, 600–800 m a.s.l.). We established 160
study plots (25 m2
) for natural regeneration, light availability, soil pH, and understory vegetation assessment
