The Asymptotic Safety Scenario in Quantum Gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, a renormalizable quantum theory of the gravitational field is presented, which reconciles asymptotically safe couplings with unitarity, based on symmetry truncations and from truncated flow of the effective average action.

Self-Similar Groups

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define limit spaces, limit spaces and limit spaces in algebraic theory, and use them to define Iterated Monodromy groups (IMG) groups.

Notes on Perelman's papers

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ricci flow with surgery with surgery was shown to die in a finite time, which is the case for the Poincar´ e Conjecture.

Linear and Quasilinear Equations of Parabolic Type

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a hyperbolic parabolic singular perturbation problem for a quasilinear equation of kirchhoff type and obtained parameter dependent time decay estimates of the difference between the solutions of the solution of a quasi-linear parabolic equation and the corresponding linear parabolic equations.

Geometric Measure Theory

TL;DR: In this article, Grassmann algebras of a vectorspace have been studied in the context of the calculus of variations, and a glossary of some standard notations has been provided.

Shock Waves and Reaction-Diffusion Equations

Joel Smoller
TL;DR: In this paper, the basics of hyperbolic conservation laws and the theory of systems of reaction-diffusion equations, including the generalized Morse theory as developed by Charles Conley, are presented in a way accessible to a wider audience than just mathematicians.

The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications

TL;DR: In this article, a monotonic expression for Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions, is presented, interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble.
