We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional…

In this note we first show a compactness theorem for rotationally symmetric self shrinkers of entropy less than 2, concluding that there are entropy minimizing self shrinkers diffeomorphic to $S^1 \times S^{n-1}$ for each $n \geq 2$ in the…

We prove a strong Frankel theorem for mean curvature flow shrinkers in all dimensions: Any two shrinkers in a sufficiently large ball must intersect. In particular, the shrinker itself must be connected in all large balls. The key to the…

We consider constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors in…

It has long been conjectured that starting at a generic smooth closed embedded surface in R^3, the mean curvature flow remains smooth until it arrives at a singularity in a neighborhood of which the flow looks like concentric spheres or…

In this paper, we introduce a monotonicity formula for the mean curvature flow which is related to self-expanders. Then we use the monotonicity to study the asymptotic behavior of Type III mean curvature flow on noncompact hypersurfaces.

This paper proves that, at the first singular time for a smoothly immersed surface moving by mean curvature flow in a n-manifold, each tangent flow is given by a smooth, branched shrinker, possibly with multiplicity. If n=3 and if the…

We prove a monotonicity formula for mean curvature flow with surgery. This formula differs from Huisken's monotonicity formula by an extra term involving the mean curvature. As a consequence, we show that a surgically modified flow which is…

Given a smooth, symmetric, homogeneous of degree one function $f=f\left(\lambda_{1},\cdots,\,\lambda_{n}\right)$ satisfying $\partial_{i}f>0$ for all $i=1,\cdots,\, n$, and an oriented, properly embedded smooth cone $\mathcal{C}^n$ in…

In this paper we generalize the neck-stability theorem of Kleiner-Lott to a special class of four-dimensional nonnegatively curved Type I $\kappa$-solutions, namely, those whose asymptotic shrinkers are the standard cylinder…

For a knot $K,$ a slope $r$ is said to be characterizing if for no other knot $J$ does $r$-framed surgery along $J$ yield the same manifold as $r$-framed surgery on $K.$ Applying a condition of Baker and Motegi, we show that the knots…

We investigate Mean Curvature Flow self-shrinking hypersurfaces with polynomial growth. It is known that such self shrinkers are unstable. We focus mostly on self-shrinkers of the form $\mathbb S^k\times\R^{n-k}\subset \R^{n+1}$. We use a…

We classify properly immersed self-shrinkers of the mean curvature flow in arbitrary codimension under a quadratic pinching condition of Andrews-Baker type on the second fundamental form that is preserved along the flow. Under this…

In this paper, we present two rigidity results for stable constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces immersed in $3$-manifolds with positive scalar curvature, assuming that the Hawking mass is zero. In the first result, we assume the surface to…

Let $C$ be an $m$-dimensional cone immersed in $\mathbb{R}^{n+m}$. In this paper, we show that if $F:M^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+m}$ is a properly immersed mean curvature flow self-shrinker which is smoothly asymptotic to $C$, then it is…

We study integral and pointwise bounds on the second fundamental form of properly immersed self-shrinkers with boundedHA. As applications, we discuss gap and compactness results for self-shrinkers.

In this paper, we discuss uniqueness and backward uniqueness for mean curvature flow of non-compact manifolds. We use an energy argument to prove two uniqueness theorems for mean curvature flow with possibly unbounded curvatures. These…

The paper considers the uniqueness question of factorization of a knotted handlebody in the $3$-sphere along decomposing $2$-spheres. We obtain a uniqueness result for factorization along decomposing $2$-spheres meeting the handlebody at…
