Yamabe invariant — In mathematics, in the field of differential geometry, the Yamabe invariant (also referred to as the sigma constant) is a real number invariant associated to a smooth manifold that is preserved under diffeomorphisms. It was first written down… … Wikipedia
Yamabe problem — The Yamabe problem in differential geometry takes its name from the mathematician Hidehiko Yamabe. Although Yamabe claimed to have a solution in 1960, a critical errorin his proof was discovered in 1968. The combined work of Neil Trudinger,… … Wikipedia
Geometric flow — In mathematics, specifically differential geometry, a geometric flow is the gradient flow associated to a functional on a manifold which has a geometric interpretation, usually associated with some extrinsic or intrinsic curvature. They can be… … Wikipedia

Ricci flow — In differential geometry, the Ricci flow is an intrinsic geometric flow a process which deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold in this case in a manner formally analogous to the diffusion of heat, thereby smoothing out irregularities in the… … Wikipedia
Inverse mean curvature flow — In the field of differential geometry in mathematics, inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF) is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3 dimensional Euclidean space). Intuitively, a… … Wikipedia
