We study a notion of relative entropy motivated by self-expanders of mean curvature flow. In particular, we obtain the existence of this quantity for arbitrary hypersurfaces trapped between two disjoint self-expanders asymptotic to the same…
In this paper we focus on the uniqueness question for (expanding) solutions of the Harmonic map flow coming out of smooth 0-homogeneous maps with values into a closed Riemannian manifold. We introduce a relative entropy for two purposes. On…
We prove an optimal relative integral convergence rate for two expanding gradient Ricci solitons coming out of the same cone. As a consequence, we obtain a unique continuation result at infinity and we prove that a relative entropy for two…
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 show that all closed $2$-dimensional singularities for higher codimension mean curvature flow that cannot be perturbed away have uniform entropy bounds and lie in a linear subspace of small dimension. The entropy and dimension of the…
We study a notion of relative entropy for certain hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. We relate this quantity to the renormalized area introduced by Graham-Witten[RW99]. We also obtain a monotonicity formula for relative entropy applied to…
We derive the equation of self-similar solutions to mean curvature flow based on the generalized Lawson-Osserman cone and prove the existence of self-expanders by modifying the theory of equilibria in the autonomous system. In particular,…
We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem applies to all closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…
In this short note, we prove a uniqueness result for small entropy self-expanders asymptotic to a fixed cone. This is a direct consequence of the mountain-pass theorem and the integer degree argument proved by J. Bernstein and L. Wang.
Self-shrinkers are the special solutions of mean curvature flow in $\mathbf{R}^{n+1}$ that evolve by shrinking homothetically; they serve as singularity models for the flow. The entropy of a hypersurface introduced by Colding-Minicozzi is a…
We are concerned with the global existence of entropy solutions for the compressible Euler equations describing the gas flow in a nozzle with general cross-sectional area, for both isentropic and isothermal fluids. New viscosities are…
In this paper we demonstrate that if two mean curvature flows of compact hypersurfaces $M^1_t$ and $M^2_t$ encounter only isolated, multiplicity one, asymptotically conical singularities at the first singular time $T$, and if $M^1_T=M^2_T$…
We construct new expanders for mean curvature flow that are smoothly asymptotic to cones arising from certain shrinkers. For each such cone, we prove the existence of expanders of arbitrarily large genus. Thus, for a fixed incoming…
In this article we describe the applications of the relative entropy framework. In particular uniqueness of an entropy solution is proven for a scalar conservation law, using the notion of measure-valued entropy solutions. Further we survey…
We study the topological complexities of relative entropy zero extensions acted by countableinfinite amenable groups. Firstly, for a given Folner sequence $\{F_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$, we define respectively the relative entropy dimensions and…
For a fixed regular cone in Euclidean space with small entropy we show that all smooth self-expanding solutions of the mean curvature flow that are asymptotic to the cone are in the same isotopy class.
If the initial hypersurface of an immortal mean curvature flow is asymptotic to a regular cone whose entropy is small, the flow will become asymptotically self-expanding. Moreover, the expander that gives rise to the limiting flow is…
In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…
We introduce a new generalization of relative entropy to non-negative vectors with sums $\gt 1$. We show in a purely combinatorial setting, with no probabilistic considerations, that in the presence of linear constraints defining a convex…
We prove that the mean curvature flow of a generic closed embedded hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ or $\mathbb{R}^5$ with entropy $\leq 2$, or with entropy $\leq \lambda(\mathbb{S}^1)$ if in $\mathbb{R}^6$, encounters only generic…
