Some Personal Notes on Curvature Problems of Interest :

Note that these are notes on results published in journal articles, they are not my results. They are simply personal notes I wrote to better understand these results when I was a graduate student in the department of mathematics at Rutgers University.

The Yamabe Problem  (based on results in R. Ye's paper in JDG 39, '94) Personal and research/yamabe.pdf 

The Curve Shortening Problem (based on results in M. Gage and R. Hamilton's paper in JDF 23, '86) results in Personal and research/csp.pdf
