In this paper we study the uniqueness of graphical mean curvature flow. We consider as initial conditions graphs of locally Lipschitz functions and prove that in the one dimensional case solutions are unique without any further assumptions.…
We prove the theorem: The necessary and sufficient condition for a spherically symmetric spacetime to represent an isothermal perfect fluid (barotropic equation of state with density falling off as inverse square of the curvature radius)…
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…
We consider the inverse curvature flows $\dot x=F^{-p}\nu$ of closed star-shaped hypersurfaces in Euclidean space in case $0<p\not=1$ and prove that the flow exists for all time and converges to infinity, if $0<p<1$, while in case $p>1$,…
This is the continuation of our paper [10]. In this paper which is self contained, we would like to give a different obstruction formula to the FIRST order deformation of the pair of a smooth curve and a smooth hypersurface. This…
Scalar curvature constraints can be studied by means of splitting procedures. The success of this strategy depends on the control we can get on its splitting factors. We introduce canonical so-called minimal splitting factors. They have…
Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler space with klt singularities and torsion canonical bundle. We show that $X$ admits arbitrarily small deformations that are projective varieties if its locally trivial deformation space is smooth. We then…
We consider the problem of evolving hypersurfaces by mean curvature flow in the presence of obstacles, that is domains which the flow is not allowed to enter. In this paper, we treat the case of complete graphs and explain how the approach…
We study the invariant theory of singular foliations of the projective plane. Our first main result is that a foliation of degree m>1 is not stable only if it has singularities in dimension 1 or contains an isolated singular point with…
Let $ S $ be a hyperbolic surface. We investigate the topology of the space of all curves on $ S $ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a given interval $…
We show that a mean curvature flow starting from a compact, smoothly embedded hypersurface M remains unique past singularities, provided the singularities are of mean convex type, i.e., if around each singular point, the surface moves in…
We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…
Very few examples of obstructed equsingular families of curves on surfaces other than the projective plane are known. Combining results from Westenberger and Hirano with an idea from math.AG/9802009 we give in the present paper series of…
We establish uniqueness and regularity results for tangent cones (at a point or at infinity) with isolated singularities arising from a given immersed stable minimal hypersurface with suitably small (non-immersed) singular set. In…
We study contracting curvature flows of compact hypersurfaces with positive sectional curvature in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$. The speed is assumed to be homogeneous of degree one in the principal curvatures and to satisfy certain…
In this paper, we consider a kind of area preserving non-local flow for convex curves in the plane. We show that the flow exists globally, the length of evolving curve is non-increasing, and the curve converges to a circle in C^{\infty}…
We flow a hypersurface in Euclidean space by mean curvature flow with a Neumann boundary condition, where the boundary manifold is any torus of revolution. If we impose the conditions that the initial manifold is compatible and does not…
We classify invariant curves for birational surface maps that are expanding on cohomology. When the expansion is exponential, the arithmetic genus of an invariant curve is at most one. This implies severe constraints on both the type and…
We describe the structure of the asymptotic lines near an inflection point of a Lagrangean surface, proving that in the generic situation it corresponds to two of the three possible cases when the discriminant curve has a cusp singularity.…
Consider a pair of smooth, possibly noncompact, properly immersed hypersurfaces moving by mean curvature flow, or, more generally, a pair of weak set flows. We prove that if the ambient space is Euclidean space and if the distance between…
