We prove that the only closed, embedded ancient solutions to the curve shortening flow on $\mathbb{S}^2$ are equators or shrinking circles, starting at an equator at time $t=-\infty$ and collapsing to the north pole at time $t=0$. To obtain…

We show that under Space Curve Shortening flow any closed immersed curve in $\mathbb R^n$ whose projection onto $\mathbb{R}^2\times\{\vec{0}\}$ is convex remains smooth until it shrinks to a point. Throughout its evolution, the projection…

We show short-time existence for curves driven by curve diffusion flow with a prescribed contact angle $\alpha \in (0, \pi)$: The evolving curve has free boundary points, which are supported on a line and it satisfies a no-flux condition.…
