We study mean curvature flows in a warped product manifold defined by a closed Riemannian manifold and $\mathbb{R}$. In such a warped product manifold, we can define the notion of a graph, called a geodesic graph. We prove that the curve…

The avoidance principle says that mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces remain disjoint if they are disjoint at the initial time. We prove several generalizations of the avoidance principle that allow for intersections of hypersurfaces.…

We show some results for the $L^2$ curvature flow linked by the theme of addressing collapsing phenomena. First we show long time existence and convergence of the flow for $SO(3)$-invariant initial data on $S^3$, as well as a long time…

We consider geometric flow equations for contracting and expanding normal velocities, including powers of the Gauss curvature, of the mean curvature, and of the norm of the second fundamental form, and ask whether - after appropriate…
