We define a notion of mean curvature flow with surgery for two-dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with positive mean curvature. Our construction relies on the earlier work of Huisken and Sinestrari in the higher dimensional case. One of…

We establish a convergence result for the mean curvature flow starting from a totally real submanifold which is "almost minimal" in a precise, quantitative sense. This extends, and makes effective, a result of H. Li for the Lagrangian mean…
