We give a simple, direct proof of the backward uniqueness of solutions to a class of second-order geometric evolution equations including the Ricci and cross-curvature flows. The proof, based on a classical argument of Agmon-Nirenberg, uses the logarithmic convexity of a certain energy quantity in the place of Carleman inequalities. We also demonstrate the applicability of the technique to the $L^2$-curvature flow and other higher-order equations.

    math.AP 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The 2D Yang–Mills measure on the unit square admits a Coulomb-gauge representative in every Ω^1_β, β<1 — Gaussian-free-field regularity — with L^p moments growing like p^{(2+β)/2+δ}.
