We address the classification of ancient solutions to fully nonlinear curvature flows for hypersurfaces. Under natural conditions on the speed of motion we classify ancient solutions which are convex, noncollapsing, uniformly two-convex and…
In this paper we investigate the rigidity of ancient solutions of the mean curvature flow with arbitrary codimension in space forms. We first prove that under certain sharp asymptotic pointwise curvature pinching condition the ancient…
We first give a general introduction to the mean curvature flow, and then discuss fundamental results established over the last 10 years that yield a precise theory for the flow through singularities in $\mathbb{R}^3$. With the aim of…
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 consider closed non-collapsed ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow ($n \ge 2$) which are uniformly two-convex. We prove that any two such ancient solutions are the same up to translations and scaling. In particular,…
We study properly immersed ancient solutions of the codimension one mean curvature flow in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, and classify the convex hulls of the subsets of space reached by any such flow. In particular, it follows that any…
In this paper, we first investigate a new locally constrained mean curvature flow (1.5) and prove that if the initial hypersurface is of smoothly compact starshaped, then the solution of the flow (1.5) exists for all time and converges to a…
Mean curvature flows of isoparametric submanifolds in Euclidean spaces and spheres have been studied by Liu and Terng. In particular, it was proved that such flows always have ancient solutions. This is also true for mean curvature flows of…
We show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ avoids asymptotically conical and non-spherical compact singularities. We also show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed low-entropy hypersurfaces…
This article discusses a relatively new geometric flow, called the hypersymplectic flow. In the first half of the article we explain the original motivating ideas for the flow, coming from both 4-dimensional symplectic topology and…
In this short article, we prove the existence of ancient solutions of the mean curvature flow that for t -> 0 collapse to a round point, but for t -> -infinity become more and more oval: near the center they have asymptotic shrinkers…
We introduce a classification conjecture for $\kappa$-solutions in 4d Ricci flow. Our conjectured list includes known examples from the literature, but also a new 1-parameter family of $\mathbb{Z}_2^2\times \mathrm{O}_3$-symmetric…
This paper initiates a classification programme of flows of $\mathrm{SU}(2)$-structures on $4$-manifolds which have short-time existence and uniqueness. Our approach adapts a representation-theoretic method originally due to Bryant in the…
We study the classification of the pairs $(N, \,X)$ where $N$ is a Stein surface and $X$ is a complete holomorphic vector field with isolated singularities on $N$. We describe the role of transverse sections in the classification of $X$ and…
In the present paper we study a type of generic singularity of mean curvature flow modelled on the bubble-sheet $\mathbb S^1\times\mathbb R^3$ , and we derive an asymptotic profile for a neighborhood of singularity.
We consider an embedded convex ancient solution $\Gamma_t$ to the curve shortening flow in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that there are only two possibilities: the family $\Gamma_t$ is either the family of contracting circles, which is a type I…
We construct steady non-spherical bubbles and drops, which are traveling wave solutions to the axisymmetric two-phase Euler equations with surface tension, whose inner phase is a bounded connected domain. The solutions have a uniform…
We study solutions of high codimension mean curvature flow defined for all negative times, usually referred to as ancient solutions. We show that any compact ancient solution whose second fundamental form satisfies a certain natural…
In this article, we introduce a new type of mean curvature flow for bounded star-shaped domains in space forms and prove its longtime existence, exponential convergence without any curvature assumption. Along this flow, the enclosed volume…
We study curvature flows in the locally homogeneous case (e.g. compact quotients of Lie groups, solvmanifolds, nilmanifolds) in a unified way, by considering a generic flow under just a few natural conditions on the broad class of…
