We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An…

We give a relationship that yields an effective geometric way of evaluating mean curvature of surfaces. The approach is reminiscent of the Gauss's contour based evaluation of intrinsic curvature. The presented formula may have a number of…

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by their mean curvature. We prove a differential Harnack inequality for any weakly convex solution to the mean curvature flow. As an application, by applying…

In this paper, we solve the longstanding Gaussian curvature conjecture of a minimal graph $S$ over the unit disk. The conjecture asserts that for any minimal graph above the unit disk, the Gaussian curvature at the point directly above the…

We study the principal curvatures of properly embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in the Anti-de Sitter space $\mathbb{H}^{n,1}$. We generalize the notion of convex hull and give an upper bound on the principal curvatures which…

We generalize an inequality of E. Heintze and H. Karcher [8] for the volume of tubes around minimal submanifolds to an inequality based on integral bounds for $k$-Ricci curvature. Even in the case of a pointwise bound, this generalizes the…

We establish a curvature estimate for classical minimal surfaces with total boundary curvature less than 4\pi. The main application is a bound on the genus of these surfaces depending solely on the geometry of the boundary curve. We also…

In this work we derive global estimates for viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations under relaxed structural assumptions on the governing operator which are weaker than convexity and oblique boundary conditions and under…

We show the $C^0$ estimate for solutions to Hessian quotient equations on hyperK\"ahler with torsion manifolds without any additional assumption on its hypercomplex structure by a clever use of the cone condition directly.

We prove that smooth convex $\alpha$-noncollapsed ancient mean curvature flow satisfies a quantitative curvature estimate $H(y,t)\leq CH(x,t)(H(x,t)|x-y|+1)^2$ for any pair of $x,y$. In other words, the rescaled curvature grows at most…
