We show existence of ancient solutions to the rescaled mean curvature flow starting from a given asymptotically conical self-expander. These are examples of mean curvature flows coming out of cones that are not self-similar. We also show a…

We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed given by a power of the $k$-th mean curvature $E_k$ plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume…

We consider the long-time behaviour of the mean curvature flow of spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentzian product manifold $M\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M$ is asymptotically flat. If the initial hypersurface $F_0\subset M\times\mathbb{R}$…

We discover a bifurcation of the perturbations of non-generic closed self-shrinkers. If the generic perturbation is outward, then the next mean curvature flow singularity is cylindrical and collapsing from outside; if the generic…

In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…

The level set flow of a mean-convex closed hypersurface is stable off singularities, in the sense that the level set flow of the perturbed hypersurface would be close in the smooth topology to the original flow wherever the latter is…
