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…

We prove existence for many examples of shrinkers by producing compact, smoothly embedded surfaces that, under mean curvature flow, develop singularities at which the shrinkers occur as blowups.

We introduce the shifted inverse curvature flow in hyperbolic space. This is a family of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space expanding by $F^{-p}$ with positive power $p$ for a smooth, symmetric, strictly increasing and $1$-homogeneous…

In [Vel94], Velazquez constructed a countable collection of mean curvature flow solutions in $\mathbb{R}^N$ in every dimension $N \ge 8$. Each of these solutions becomes singular in finite time at which time the second fundamental form…

We show that any open set that is a finite distance away from a Lipschitz subgraph will become a Lipschitz subgraph after flowing under fractional mean curvature flow for a finite, universal time. Our proof is quantitative and inherently…

In this article, we prove the mean convex neighborhood conjecture for the mean curvature flow of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Namely, if the flow has a spherical or cylindrical singularity at a space-time point $X=(x,t)$, then there exists a…

In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional hyperbolic mean curvature flow for closed plane curves. We show that there exists a class of initial velocities such that the solution of the corresponding initial value problem exists only…

The line bundle mean curvature flow is a complex analogue of the mean curvature flow for Lagrangian graphs, with fixed points solving the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation. In this paper we construct two distinct examples of…

For an $H>0$ rotationally symmetric embedded torus $N_{0} \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$, evolved by Inverse Mean Curvature Flow, we show that the total curvature $|A|$ remains bounded up to the singular time $T_{\max}$. We then show convergence…

Once one knows that singularities occur, one naturally wonders what the singularities are like. For minimal varieties the first answer, already known to Federer-Fleming in 1959, is that they weakly resemble cones. For mean curvature flow,…

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…
