By carrying out a point-wise estimate for the second fundamental form, we prove a rigidity theorem of complete noncompact ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow in codimension one. Moreover, we derive an optimal growth condition.

In this paper, we prove that any nontrivial $\mathrm{SO}(k )\times \mathrm{SO}(n+1-k)$-symmetric ancient compact noncollapsed solution of the mean curvature flow agrees up to scaling and rigid motion with the $\mathrm{O}(k)\times…

In the first part of the paper, we prove the existence of longtime solution to mean curvature flow starting from a graph of a continuous function defined over a slab. Then, we establish dynamical stability results for various types of…

We construct noncompact solutions to the affine normal flow of hypersurfaces, and show that all ancient solutions must be either ellipsoids (shrinking solitons) or paraboloids (translating solitons). We also provide a new proof of the…

We consider the curve shortening flow applied to a class of figure-eight curves: those with dihedral symmetry, convex lobes, and a monotonicity assumption on the curvature. We prove that when (non-conformal) linear transformations are…

We prove that any ancient smooth embedded finite-entropy curve shortening flow is one of the following: a static line, a shrinking circle, a paper clip, a translating grim reaper, or a graphical ancient trombone. An ancient trombone is an…

In three space dimensions, we consider the compressible inviscid model describing the time evolution of two fluids sharing the same velocity and enjoying the algebraic pressure closure. By employing the technique of convex integration, we…

We prove that the only closed, embedded ancient solutions to the curve shortening flow on $\mathbb{S}^2$ are equators or shrinking circles, starting at an equator at time $t=-\infty$ and collapsing to the north pole at time $t=0$. To obtain…

We address the classification of ancient solutions to the Gauss curvature flow under the assumption that the solutions are contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. For each cylinder of convex bounded cross-section, we show that…

X.-J. Wang proved a series of remarkable results on the structure of convex ancient solutions to mean curvature flow. Some of his results do not appear to be widely known, however, possibly due to the technical nature of his arguments and…

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by smooth functions of the Weingarten map. We introduce the notion of `quasi-ancient' solutions for flows that do not admit non-trivial, convex, ancient…

Observing the list of compatible second order equations of Absolute Parallelism (AP) found by Einstein and Mayer (they used D=4), we choose the one-parameter class of equations which take on a 3-linear form (when contra-frame density of…

We consider the Euler equations in ${\mathbb R}^3$ expressed in vorticity form. A classical question that goes back to Helmholtz is to describe the evolution of solutions with a high concentration around a curve. The work of Da Rios in 1906…

In this paper, we consider noncompact ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 3$) which are strictly convex, uniformly two-convex, and noncollapsed. We prove that such an ancient solution is a…

It is a fundamental open problem for the mean curvature flow, and in fact for many partial differential equations, whether or not all blowup limits are selfsimilar. In this short note, we prove that for the mean curvature flow of mean…
