This work introduces the framed curvature flow, a generalization of both the curve shortening flow and the vortex filament equation. Here, the magnitude of the velocity vector is still determined by the curvature, but its direction is given…

Bounded-type 3-manifolds arise as combinatorially bounded gluings of irreducible 3-manifolds chosen from a finite list. We prove effective hyperbolization and effective rigidity for a broad class of 3-manifolds of bounded type and large…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to establish sufficient conditions under which the mean curvature flow supported on a hypersphere with exterior Dirichlet boundary exists globally in time and converges to a minimal surface,…

In this paper we consider a mean curvature flow $V=H+A$ in a high dimensional cylinder $\Omega\times \R$, where, $A$ is a constant, $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\R^n$, and, for a hypersurface $y=u(x,t)$ over $\Omega$, $V$ and $H$ denote…
