In this article, we focus on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^d)\times\cdots\times L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^d)\rightarrow L^{2/m}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ estimates for multilinear maximal averages over non-degenerate hypersurfaces. Our findings is new for $m$-linear…

We show that the intrinsic diameter of mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is uniformly bounded as one approaches the first singular time $T$. This confirms the bounded diameter conjecture of Haslhofer. In addition, we establish several…
