We consider mean curvature flow of n-dimensional surface clusters. At (n-1)-dimensional triple junctions an angle condition is required which in the symmetric case reduces to the well-known 120 degree angle condition. Using a novel…

In this paper, we study the $k$-cylindrical singular set of mean curvature flow in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ for each $1\leq k\leq n-1$. We prove that they are locally contained in a $k$-dimensional $C^{2,\alpha}$-submanifold after removing some…
It is conjectured that the mean curvature blows up at the first singular time of the mean curvature flow in Euclidean space, at least in dimensions less or equal to 7. We show that the mean curvature blows up at the singularities of the…
This paper proves that, in mean curvature flow of a compact surface in a complete $3$-manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below, the genus of the regular set is a decreasing function of time as long as the only singularities are given by…
In this paper, we prove that for any asymptotically conical self-shrinker, there exists an embedded closed hypersurface such that the mean curvature flow starting from it develops a singularity modeled on the given shrinker. The main…
We construct embedded ancient solutions to mean curvature flow related to certain classes of unstable minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for $n \geq 2$. These provide examples of mean convex yet nonconvex ancient solutions that are…
The goal of this paper is to relax convexity assumption on some classical results in mean curvature flow. In the first half of the paper, we prove a generalized version of Hamilton's differential Harnack inequality which holds for mean…

We establish the $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for $k$-dimensional, possibly forced, Brakke flows near a static, multiplicity-one triple junction. This result provides the parabolic analogue to L. Simon's foundational work on the…
In this paper, we prove a sharp convergence theorem for the mean curvature flow of arbitrary codimension in spheres which improves Baker's convergence theorem. In particular, we obtain a new differentiable sphere theorem for submanifolds in…
We show existence of ancient solutions to the rescaled mean curvature flow starting from a given asymptotically conical self-expander. These are examples of mean curvature flows coming out of cones that are not self-similar. We also show a…
We study solutions of high codimension mean curvature flow defined for all negative times, usually referred to as ancient solutions. We show that any compact ancient solution whose second fundamental form satisfies a certain natural…
