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 introduce a volume- or area-preserving curvature flow for hypersurfaces with capillary boundary in the half-space, with speed given by a positive power of the mean curvature with a non-local averaging term. We demonstrate…

Motivated by the conjectured Penrose inequality and by the work of Hawking, Geroch, Huisken and Ilmanen in the null and the Riemannian case, we examine necessary conditions on flows of two-surfaces in spacetime under which the Hawking…

We consider a flow by powers of Gauss curvature under the obstruction that the flow cannot penetrate a prescribed region, so called an obstacle. For all dimensions and positive powers, we prove the optimal curvature bounds of solutions and…

We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An…

This paper studies singularities of mean curvature flows with integral mean curvature bounds $H \in L^\infty L^p_{loc}$ for some $p \in ( n, \infty]$. For such flows, any tangent flow is given by the flow of a stationary cone $\mathbf{C}$.…

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…

In this note we prove the backwards uniqueness of the mean curvature flow for (codimension one) hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space. More precisely, let $F_t, \widetilde{F}_t:M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be two complete solutions of the…

A variant of the Gauss curvature flow for closed and convex hypersurfaces is considered. We reveal that if the initial hypersurface is pinched enough, then this property is preserved. Furthermore, based on some structure assumptions on the…
