We demonstrate a method for filtering images defined on curved surfaces embedded in 3D. Applications are noise removal and the creation of artistic effects. Our approach relies on in-surface diffusion: we formulate Weickert's edge/coherence…
We prove a quantitative reverse isoperimetric inequality for embedded surfaces with Willmore energy bounded away from $8\pi$. We use this result to analyze the negative $L^2$ gradient flow of the Willmore energy plus a positive multiple of…
A comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profile on the universal cover of surfaces evolving by normalised Ricci flow is proven. For any initial metric, a model comparison is constructed that initially lies below the profile of the…
We show that the mean curvature flow for a closed and rotationally symmetric surface can be formulated as an evolution problem consisting of an evolution equation for the square of the function whose graph is rotated and two ODEs describing…
We consider embedded, smooth curves in the plane which are either closed or asymptotic to two lines. We study their behaviour under curve shortening flow with a global forcing term. Firstly, we prove an analogue to Huisken's distance…
Let $ M^n$ be a closed immersed minimal hypersurface in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. We establish a special isoperimetric inequality of $M^n$. As an application, if the scalar curvature of $ M^n$ is constant, then we get a uniform…
In this note we establish exponentially fast smooth convergence for global curve diffusion flows, and discuss open problems relating embeddedness to global existence (Giga's conjecture) and the shape of Type I singularities (Chou's…
In this paper we provide a Bonnesen-style inequality which gives a lower bound for the isoperimetric deficit corresponding to a closed convex curve in terms of some geometrical invariants of this curve. Moreover we give a geometrical…
In this paper we consider the polyharmonic heat flow of a closed curve in the plane. Our main result is that closed initial data with initially small normalised oscillation of curvature and isoperimetric defect flows exponentially fast in…
We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces in $\R^3$ and $\R^4$ evolving by a special class of constrained surface diffusion flows. This class of constrained flows includes the classical surface diffusion flow. In this paper we present a…
A fourth-order dispersive flow equation for closed curves on the canonical two-dimensional unit sphere arises in some contexts in physics and fluid mechanics. In this paper, a geometric generalization of the sphere-valued model is…
We consider the evolution of curve networks in two dimensions (2d) and surface clusters in three dimensions (3d). The motion of the interfaces is described by surface diffusion, with boundary conditions at the triple junction points/lines,…

We prove that a closed immersed plane curve with total curvature $2\pi m$ has entropy at least $m$ times the entropy of the embedded circle, as long as it generates a type I singularity under the curve shortening flow (CSF). We construct…
It is shown that a hypersurface of a space form is the initial data for a solution to the mean curvature flow by parallel hypersurfaces if, and only if, it is isoparametric. By solving an ordinary differential equation, explicit solutions…
