We consider the mean curvature flow of compact convex surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space with free boundary lying on an arbitrary convex barrier surface with bounded geometry. When the initial surface is sufficiently convex, depending only on the geometry of the barrier, the flow contracts the surface to a point in finite time. Moreover, the solution is asymptotic to a shrinking half-sphere lying in a half space. This extends, in dimension two, the convergence result of Stahl for umbilic barriers to general convex barriers. We introduce a new perturbation argument to establish fundamental convexity and pinching estimates for the flow. Our result can be compared to a celebrated convergence theorem of Huisken for mean curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds.

For the algebra $mathbb{I}_n = K {langle x_1, dotsc, x_n, partial_1, dotsc, partial_n, int_1, dotsc, int_n rangle}$ of polynomial integrodifferential operators over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, a classification of simple weight and generalized weight (left and right) $mathbb{I}_n$‑modules is given. It is proven that the category of weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑modules is semisimple. An explicit description of generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑modules is given and using it a criterion is obtained for the problem of classification of indecomposable generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑modules to be of finite representation type, tame or wild. In the tame case, a classification of indecomposable generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑modules is given. In the wild case ‘natural‘ tame subcategories are considered with explicit description of indecomposable modules. For an arbitrary ring $R$, we introduce the concept of absolutely prime $R$‑module (a nonzero $R$‑module $M$ is absolutely prime if all nonzero subfactors of $M$ have the same annihilator). It is proven that every generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑module is a unique sum of absolutely prime modules. It is also shown that every indecomposable generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑module is equidimensional. A criterion is given for a generalized weight $mathbb{I}_n$‑module to be finitely generated.

We give an explicit formula for the Hodge filtration on the $mathscr{D}_X$-module $mathcal{O}_X (*Z) f^{1-alpha}$ associated to the effective $mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D = alpha cdot Z$, where $0 lt alpha leq 1$ and $Z = (f = 0)$ is an irreducible hypersurface defined by $f$, a weighted homogeneous polynomial with an isolated singularity at the origin. In particular this gives a formula for the Hodge ideals of $D$. We deduce a formula for the generating level of the Hodge filtration, as well as further properties of Hodge ideals in this setting. We also extend the main theorem to the case when $f$ is a germ of holomorphic function that is convenient and has non-degenerate Newton boundary.

We show that given any Liouville direction and flat Finsler torus, one can make a $C^infty$‑small perturbation on an arbitrarily small disc to get a nondense geodesic in the given direction.

The vertex scaling for piecewise linear metrics on polyhedral surfaces was introduced by Luo [18], who proved the local rigidity by establishing a variational principle and conjectured the global rigidity. Luo’s conjecture was solved by Bobenko-Pinkall-Springborn [3], who also introduced the vertex scaling for piecewise hyperbolic metrics and proved its global rigidity. Bobenko-Pinkall-Spingborn’s proof is based on their observation of the connection of vertex scaling and the geometry of polyhedra in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space and the concavity of the volume of ideal and hyper-ideal tetrahedra. In this paper, we give an elementary and short variational proof of the global rigidity of vertex scaling without involving 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. The method is based on continuity of eigenvalues of matrices and the extension of convex functions.
