This note revisits the inverse mean curvature flow in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. In particular, we show that the limiting shape is not necessarily round after scaling, thus resolving an inconsistency in the literature.

The entropy of a hypersurface is given by the supremum over all F-functionals with varying centers and scales, and is invariant under rigid motions and dilations. As a consequence of Huisken's monotonicity formula, entropy is non-increasing…

In this paper, we produce explicit examples of mean curvature flow of (2m-1)-dimensional submanifolds which converge to (2m-2)-dimensional submanifolds at a finite time. These examples are a special class of hyperspheres in $\mathbb{C}^{m}$…

In this paper, we study the $k$-Hessian curvature flow of noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski space. We first prove the existence of translating solutions with given asymptotic behavior. Then, we prove that for strictly convex…

We consider the mean curvature flow of a closed hypersurface in the complex or quaternionic projective space. Under a suitable pinching assumption on the initial data, we prove apriori estimates on the principal curvatures which imply that…

We prove that convex hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ contracting under the flow by any power $\alpha>\frac{1}{n+2}$ of the Gauss curvature converge (after rescaling to fixed volume) to a limit which is a smooth, uniformly convex…

The behavior of the curve shortening flow has been extensively studied. Gage, Hamilton, and Grayson proved that, under the curve shortening flow, an embedded closed curve in the Euclidean plane becomes convex after a finite time and then…

In this paper, we study flows of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space, and apply them to prove geometric inequalities. In the first part of the paper, we consider volume preserving flows by a family of curvature functions including positive…

Several non-local curvature flows for plane curves with a general rotation number are discussed in this work. The types of flows include the area-preserving flow and the length-preserving flow. We have a relatively good understanding of…

A submanifold in space forms is isoparametric if the normal bundle is flat and principal curvatures along any parallel normal fields are constant. We study the mean curvature flow with initial data an isoparametric submanifold in Euclidean…

Instead of investigating the Willmore flow for two-dimensional, closed immersed surfaces directly we turn to its inversion. We give a lower bound on the lifespan of this inverse Willmore flow, depending on the concentration of curvature in…

We study the flow $M_t$ of a smooth, strictly convex hypersurface by its mean curvature in $\mathrm{R}^{n+1}$. The surface remains smooth and convex, shrinking monotonically until it disappears at a critical time $T$ and point $x^*$ (which…
