The mean curvature flow is an evolution process under which a submanifold deforms in the direction of its mean curvature vector. The hypersurface case has been much studied since the eighties. Recently, several theorems on regularity,…

We prove existence for many examples of shrinkers by producing compact, smoothly embedded surfaces that, under mean curvature flow, develop singularities at which the shrinkers occur as blowups.

In Euclidean space, we investigate surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies the equation $H=\alpha\langle N,\mathbf{x}\rangle+\lambda$, where $N$ is the Gauss map, $\mathbf{x}$ is the position vector and $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ are two…

We study graphical mean curvature flow of complete solutions defined on subsets of Euclidean space. We obtain smooth long time existence. The projections of the evolving graphs also solve mean curvature flow. Hence this approach allows to…

A \emph{surface of translation} is a sum $(u,v)\mapsto\gt\alpha(u)+\gt\beta(v)$ of two space curves: a \emph{path} $\gt\alpha$ and a \emph{profile} $\gt\beta$. A fundamental problem of differential geometry and shell theory is to determine…

A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…
