We consider the evolution by mean curvature of smooth $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ which are compact and quadratically pinched. We will be primarily interested in flows of high codimension, the case $k\geq 2$. We prove…
As first noted in Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon ("KKS"), constant mean curvature implies a homological conservation law for hypersurfaces in ambient spaces with Killing fields.In Theorem 3.5 here, we generalize that law by relaxing the…
We construct smooth mean curvature flows with surgery that approximate weak mean curvature flows with only spherical and neck-pinch singularities. This is achieved by combining the recent work of Choi-Haslhofer-Hershkovits, and…
We give an overview of the existence and regularity results for curvature flows and how these flows can be used to solve some problems in geometry and physics.
In this paper, we study a class of flows of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ with speed $(\sinh r)^{{\alpha}/{\beta}} \sigma_{k}^{{1}/{\beta}}$, where $\sigma_{k}$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric…
We review some recent results on the mean curvature flows of Lagrangian submanifolds from the perspective of geometric partial differential equations. These include global existence and convergence results, characterizations of first-time…
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 study the flow of closed, starshaped hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $r^\alpha\sigma_2^{1/2},$ where $\sigma_2^{1/2}$ is the normalized square root of the scalar curvature, $\alpha\geq 2,$ and $r$ is the…
We develop a new boundary condition for the weak inverse mean curvature flow, which gives canonical and non-trivial solutions in bounded domains. Roughly speaking, the boundary of the domain serves as an outer obstacle, and the evolving…
Advection and mean curvature flow is used as a model of bone microarchitecture adaptation. It is an equivalent geometric flow to prescribed mean curvature flow with an additional rate term. In order to validate numerical methods for…
Brendle [6] successfully establishes the sharp Michael-Simon inequality for mean curvature on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature ($\mathcal{K} \geq 0$), and the proof relies on the Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci method.…
We investigate the integral conditions to extend the mean curvature flow in a Riemannian manifold. We prove that the mean curvature flow solution with finite total mean curvature on a finite time interval $[0,T)$ can be extended over time…
The evaluation and consideration of the mean flow in wave evolution equations are necessary for the accurate prediction of fluid particle trajectories under wave groups, with relevant implications in several domains, from the transport of…
The symmetry group of the mean curvature flow in general ambient Riemannian manifolds is determined, based on which we define generalized solitons to the mean curvature flow. We also provide examples of homothetic solitons in non-Euclidean…
Mean curvature flow of clusters of n-dimensional surfaces in R^{n+k} that meet in triples at equal angles along smooth edges and higher order junctions on lower dimensional faces is a natural extension of classical mean curvature flow. We…

Ancient solutions arise in the study of parabolic blow-ups. If we can categorize ancient solutions, we can better understand blow-up limits. Based on an argument of Giga and Kohn, we give a Liouville-type theorem restricting ancient,…
We consider embedded hypersurfaces evolving by fully nonlinear flows in which the normal speed of motion is a homogeneous degree one, concave or convex function of the principal curvatures, and prove a non-collapsing estimate: Precisely,…
