A unified flow approach to smooth, even -Minkowski problems
We study long-time existence and asymptotic behaviour for a class of
anisotropic, expanding curvature flows. For this we adapt new curvature
estimates, which were developed by Guan, Ren and Wang to treat some stationary
prescribed curvature problems. As an application we give a unified flow
approach to the existence of smooth, even -Minkowski problems in

Sensitive Radio Survey of Obscured Quasar Candidates
We study the radio properties of moderately obscured quasars over a range of
redshifts to understand the role of radio activity in accretion using the
Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) at 6.0GHz and 1.4GHz. Our z~2.5 sample consists
of optically-selected obscured quasar candidates, all of which are radio-quiet,
with typical radio luminosities of [1.4 GHz] < erg
s. Only a single source is individually detected in our deep (rms~10
Jy) exposures. This population would not be identified by radio-based
selection methods used for distinguishing dusty star-forming galaxies and
obscured active nuclei. In our pilot A-array study of z~0.5 radio-quiet
quasars, we spatially resolve four of five objects on scales ~ 5 kpc and find
they have steep spectral indices. Therefore, radio emission in these sources
could be due to jet-driven or radiatively driven bubbles interacting with
interstellar material on the scale of the host galaxy. Finally, we also study
the population of ~ 200 faint (~40 Jy - 40 mJy) radio sources observed
over ~ 120 arcmin of our data. 60% of these detections are matched in the
SDSS and/or WISE and are, in roughly equal shares, active nuclei at a broad
range of redshifts, passive galaxies with no other signs of nuclear activity
and IR-bright but optically faint sources. Spectroscopically or photometrically
confirmed star-forming galaxies constitute only a small minority of the
matches. Such sensitive radio surveys allow us to address important questions
of AGN evolution and evaluate the AGN contribution to the radio-quiet sky.Comment: 18 pages, submitted to MNRA
