In $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a density $e^\psi$, we study the mean curvature flow associated to the density ($\psi$-mean curvature flow or $\psi$MCF) of a hypersurface. The main results concern with the description of the evolution under…

Motivated by the conjectured Penrose inequality and by the work of Hawking, Geroch, Huisken and Ilmanen in the null and the Riemannian case, we examine necessary conditions on flows of two-surfaces in spacetime under which the Hawking…

We prove that a parabolically rescaled and suitably renormalised height function of a weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process on a circle converges to the Cole-Hopf solution of the KPZ equation. This is an analogue of the celebrated…
