Brief description Geometric evolution equations and global effects of curvature. This project aims to approach several important problems in global differential geometry, by inventing new processes to deform geometric objects to simpler ones. The deformations are described by carefully constructed geometric evolution equations, designed to exhibit behaviour suited to the given problem. The project proposes methods for building such equations, and new techniques for their analysis. The research is expected to yield significant new results, both in differential geometry and in nonlinear heat equations, and should provide substantial progress towards resolving several important long-standing conjectures. \r\n
