The classical Liouville theorem states that a bounded harmonic function on all of $\RR^n$ must be constant. In the early 1970s, S.T. Yau vastly generalized this, showing that it holds for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Moreover, he conjectured a stronger Liouville property that has generated many significant developments. We will first discuss this conjecture and some of the ideas that went into its proof. We will also discuss two recent areas where this circle of ideas has played a major role. One is Kleiner's new proof of Gromov's classification of groups of polynomial growth and the developments this generated. Another is to understanding singularities of mean curvature flow in high codimension. We will see that some of the ideas discussed in this survey naturally lead to a new approach to studying and classifying singularities of mean curvature flow in higher codimension. This is a subject that has been notoriously difficult and where much less is known than for hypersurfaces.

    A graph curvature proxy, κw, is claimed to bound oversmoothing and generalization and to guide rewiring/gating, but the central proofs rest on gaps and an invalid monotonicity argument.
