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 investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…

We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces evolving by surface diffusion flow, and perform an analysis based on local and global integral estimates. First we show that a properly immersed stationary (\Delta H \equiv 0) hypersurface in \R^3…

In this paper we are dealing with mean curvature flow with surgeries of two-convex hypersurfaces. The main focus is to expand on the discussion in Section $3$ of Mean Curvature Flow with Surgeries of Two-Convex Hypersurfaces by Huisken and…

A nonlocal curvature flow is introduced to evolve locally convex curves in the plane. It is proved that this flow with any initial locally convex curve has a global solution, keeping the local convexity and the elastic energy of the…

We develop the notion of Brakke flow with free-boundary in a barrier surface. Unlike the classical free-boundary mean curvature flow, the free-boundary Brakke flow must "pop" upon tangential contact with the barrier. We prove a compactness…

In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flow of submanifolds of arbitrary codimension in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^m$. We prove that if the initial submanifold satisfies a pinching condition, then the mean curvature flow converges to a…

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 the mean curvature flow in 3-dimensional null hypersurfaces. In a spacetime a hypersurface is called null, if its induced metric is degenerate. The speed of the mean curvature flow of spacelike surfaces in a null hypersurface is…

We prove that if a rescaled mean curvature flow is a global graph over the round cylinder with small gradient and converges super-exponentially fast, then it must coincide with the cylinder itself. We also show that the result is sharp with…
