In this paper we construct complete convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ which translate under the flow by powers $\alpha \in (0, \frac1{n+2})$ of the Gauss curvature. The level set of each solution is asymptotic to a shrinking soliton…

We derive local $C^{2}$ estimates for complete non-compact translating solitons of the Gauss curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are graphs over a convex domain $\Omega$. This is closely is related to deriving local $C^{1,1}$ estimates…

It has long been conjectured that starting at a generic smooth closed embedded surface in R^3, the mean curvature flow remains smooth until it arrives at a singularity in a neighborhood of which the flow looks like concentric spheres or…

The symmetry group of the mean curvature flow in general ambient Riemannian manifolds is determined, based on which we define generalized solitons to the mean curvature flow. We also provide examples of homothetic solitons in non-Euclidean…

In this paper, we consider a translating soliton for the mean curvature flow starting from a graph of a function on a domain in a unit sphere which is constant along each leaf of isoparametric foliation. First, we show that such a function…

In this paper, we consider a translating soliton for the inverse mean curvature flow given as a graph of a function on a domain in a unit sphere whose level sets give isoparametric foliation. First, we show that such function is given as a…

In this paper, we study entire translating solutions $u(x)$ to a mean curvature flow equation in Minkowski space. We show that if $\Sigma=\{(x, u(x))| x\in\mathbb{R}^n\}$ is a strictly spacelike hypersurface, then $\Sigma$ reduces to a…

We prove a rigidity result for mean curvature self-translating solitons, characterizing the grim reaper cylinder as the only finite entropy self-translating 2-surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of width $\pi$ and bounded from below. The proof makes…
