In this paper, we mainly study the mean curvature flow in K\"ahler surfaces with positive holomorphic sectional curvatures. First, we prove that if the ratio $\lambda$ of the maximum and the minimum of the holomorphic sectional curvatures…

In this paper we consider a mean curvature flow $V=H+A$ in a high dimensional cylinder $\Omega\times \R$, where, $A$ is a constant, $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\R^n$, and, for a hypersurface $y=u(x,t)$ over $\Omega$, $V$ and $H$ denote…

The purpose of this paper is to derive anisotropic mean curvature flow as the limit of the anisotropic Allen-Cahn equation. We rely on distributional solution concepts for both the diffuse and sharp interface models, and prove convergence…

We provide explicit examples which show that mean convexity (i.e. positivity of the mean curvature) and positivity of the scalar curvature are non-preserved curvature conditions for hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space evolving under either…

In this paper, we study Ricci flow on compact manifolds with a continuous initial metric. It was known from Simon that the Ricci flow exists for a short time. We prove that the scalar curvature lower bound is preserved along the Ricci flow…

We study a version of the Hermitian curvature flow on compact homogeneous complex manifolds. We prove that the solution has a finite exstinction time $T>0$ and we analyze its behaviour when $t\to T$. We also determine the invariant static…

In this note, we study the long time existence of the Calabi flow on $X = \mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}^n + i\mathbb{Z}^n$. Assuming the uniform bound of the total energy, we establish the non-collapsing property of the Calabi flow by using…

We study global aspects of the mean curvature flow of non-separating hypersurfaces $S$ in closed manifolds. For instance, if $S$ has non-vanishing mean curvature, we show its level set flow converges smoothly towards an embedded minimal…

We prove a differential Harnack inequality for noncompact convex hypersurfaces flowing with normal speed equal to a symmetric function of their principal curvatures. This extends a result of Andrews for compact hypersurfaces. We assume that…

We show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ avoids asymptotically conical and non-spherical compact singularities. We also show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed low-entropy hypersurfaces…

In this paper, we consider the mean curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces with a general forcing term. We show that the flow may shrink to a point in finite time if the forcing term is small, or exist for all times and…

In this letter, we derive the sharp-interface limit of the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot equations using formal matched asymptotic expansions. We find that in each sub-domain, the quasi-static Biot equations are obtained with domain-specific material…

In this paper, we study the locally constrained inverse curvature flow for hypersurfaces in the half-space with $\theta$-capillary boundary, which was recently introduced by Wang-Weng-Xia. Assume that the initial hypersurface is strictly…

We study solutions of the mean curvature flow which are defined for all negative curvature times, usually called ancient solutions. We give various conditions ensuring that a closed convex ancient solution is a shrinking sphere. Examples of…

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by smooth functions of the Weingarten map. We introduce the notion of `quasi-ancient' solutions for flows that do not admit non-trivial, convex, ancient…

When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions which depend on the characteristic surface deformation…

This article studies the mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, we prove the following global existence and convergence theorem: if the potential function of a Lagrangian graph in T^{2n} is convex, then the flow…
