We show that any open set that is a finite distance away from a Lipschitz subgraph will become a Lipschitz subgraph after flowing under fractional mean curvature flow for a finite, universal time. Our proof is quantitative and inherently…

A general purely crystalline mean curvature flow equation with a nonuniform driving force term is considered. The unique existence of a level set flow is established when the driving force term is continuous and spatially Lipschitz…

We introduce a notion of uniform convergence for local and nonlocal curvatures. Then, we propose an abstract method to prove the convergence of the corresponding geometric flows, within the level set formulation. We apply such a general…

In this paper, we first study the behavior of inverse mean curvature flow in Schwarzschild manifold. We show that if the initial hypersurface $\Sigma$ is strictly mean convex and star-shaped, then the flow hypersurface $\Sigma_t$ converges…

In this paper we will discuss how one may be able to use mean curvature flow to tackle some of the central problems in topology in 4-dimensions. We will be concerned with smooth closed 4-manifolds that can be smoothly embedded as a…

These lecture notes aim to present some of the ideas behind the recent (conditional) existence and (weak-strong) uniqueness theory for mean curvature flow. Focusing on the simplest case of the evolution of a single closed hypersurface…

We study the line bundle mean curvature flow on K\"ahler surfaces under the hypercritical phase and a certain semipositivity condition. We naturally encounter such a condition when considering the blowup of K\"ahler surfaces. We show that…

We study a stochastically perturbed mean curvature flow for graphs in $\mathbb{R}^3$ over the two-dimensional unit-cube subject to periodic boundary conditions. In particular, we establish the existence of a weak martingale solution. The…

It was shown by Angenent, Altschuler and Giga, and by Angenent and Velazquez that there exist closed mean curvature flow solutions that extinct to a point in finite time, without ever becoming convex prior to their extinction. These…

For a mean curvature flow of complete graphical hypersurfaces $M_{t}=\operatorname{graph} u(\cdot,t)$ defined over domains $\Omega_{t}$, the enveloping cylinder is $\partial\Omega_{t}\times\mathbb{R}$. We prove the smooth convergence of…

Mean curvature flow is the most natural evolution equation in extrinsic geometry, and shares many features with Hamilton's Ricci flow from intrinsic geometry. In this lecture series, I will provide an introduction to the mean curvature flow…

We consider a compact, star-shaped, mean convex hypersurface $\Sigma^2\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that in some cases the flow exists until it shrinks to a point in a spherical manner, which is very typical for convex surfaces as well…
