We consider a mean curvature flow in a cone, that is, a hypersurface in a cone which moves toward the opening with normal velocity equaling to the mean curvature, and the contact angle between the hypersurface and the cone boundary being…

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…

Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant "higher order mean curvatures". Here a $k$-th order mean curvature $Q_k$ ($k\geq1$) of a hypersurface $M^n$ is…
