    Short-Time Existence Theorem for the CR Torsion Flow

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the torsion flow which is served as the CR analogue of the Ricci flow in a closed pseudohermitian manifold. We show that there exists a unique smooth solution to the CR torsion flow in a small time interval with the CR pluriharmonic function as an initial data. In spirit, it is the CR analogue of the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya local existence and uniqueness theorem for analytic partial differential equations associated with Cauchy initial value problemsComment: 30 page

    Legendrian mean curvature flow in η\eta-Einstein Sasakian manifolds

    Full text link
    Recently, there are a great deal of work done which connects the Legendrian isotopic problem with contact invariants. The isotopic problem of Legendre curve in a contact 3-manifold was studies via the Legendrian curve shortening flow which was introduced and studied by K. Smoczyk. On the other hand, in the SYZ Conjecture, one can model a special Lagrangian singularity locally as the special Lagrangian cones in C^{3}. This can be characterized by its link which is a minimal Legendrian surface in the 5-sphere. Then in these points of view, in this paper we will focus on the existence of the long-time solution and asymptotic convergence along the Legendrian mean curvature flow in higher dimensional {\eta}-Einstein Sasakian (2n+1)-manifolds under the suitable stability condition due to the Thomas-Yau conjecture.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0906.5527 by other author
