Several identities similar to the Schlaefli formula are established for tetrahedra in a space of constant curvature.

For fixed subgroups Fix(ϕ) of automorphisms ϕ on hyperbolic 3-manifold groups π1(M), we observed that rk(Fix(ϕ))<2rk(π1(M)) and the constant 2 in the inequality is sharp; we also classify all possible groups Fix(ϕ).

In this paper we introduce the hyperbolic mean curvature flow and prove that the corresponding system of partial differential equations is strictly hyperbolic, and based on this, we show that this flow admits a unique short-time smooth solution and possesses the nonlinear stability defined on the Euclidean space with dimension larger than 4. We derive nonlinear wave equations satisfied by some geometric quantities related to the hyperbolic mean curvature flow. Moreover, we also discuss the relation between the equations for hyperbolic mean curvature flow and the equations for extremal surfaces in the Minkowski spacetime.

We show that solutions of Thurston's equation on triangulated 3-manifolds in a commutative ring carry topological information. We also introduce a homogeneous Thurston's equation and a commutative ring associated to triangulated 3-manifolds. It is shown that solutions to homogeneous equations over the real numbers are critical points of an entropy function.

Given a complex analytic function f on a Whitney stratified complex analytic variety of complex dimension n, whose real part Re (f) is Morse, we prove the existence of a stratified gradient-like vector field for Re (f) such that the unstable set of a critical point p on a stratum S of complex dimension s has real dimension m (p)+ ns as was conjectured by Goresky and MacPherson.
