In this paper, we describe new annular examples of complete translating solitons for the mean curvature flow and how they are related to a family of translating graphs, the $\Delta$-wings. In addition, we will prove several related results…

We consider the curve shortening flow applied to a class of figure-eight curves: those with dihedral symmetry, convex lobes, and a monotonicity assumption on the curvature. We prove that when (non-conformal) linear transformations are…

In this paper we study the theory of self translating solitons of the mean curvature flow of immersed surfaces in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. We relate this theory to the one of manifolds with density, and exploit this…

This paper concerns with the asymptotic behavior of complete non-compact convex curves embedded in $\mathbb{R}^2$ under the $\alpha$-curve shortening flow for exponents $\alpha >\frac12$. We show that any such curve having in addition its…

Normalizing flows provide a general mechanism for defining expressive probability distributions, only requiring the specification of a (usually simple) base distribution and a series of bijective transformations. There has been much recent…

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in geometric evolution in heterogeneous media. Here we consider curvature driven fows of planar curves, with an additional space-dependent forcing term. Motivated by a homogenization…

We recall the notion of (vertical) translating solitons in a product of a semi-Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and the real line. Mainly, we restrict our attention to those which are the graph of a smooth function. When dealing with…

In arXiv:2205.02920 a variant of the classical elastic flow for closed curves in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ was introduced, that is more suitable for numerical purposes. Here we investigate the long-time properties of such evolution demonstrating…

We show that mean curvature flow translators may exhibit non-removable singularities at infinity, due to jump discontinuities in their asymptotic profiles, and that oscillation can persist so as to yield a continuum of subsequential limit…

In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…

This paper focuses on the translating solitons of fully nonlinear extrinsic curvature geometric flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We present a generalization of the Spruck-Xiao's and Spruck-Sun's convexity results for $1$-homogeneous…

We show that a curve is a soliton solution to the curve shortening flow if and only if its geodesic curvature can be written as the inner product between its tangent vector field and a fixed vector of the 3-dimensional Minkowski space. We…

We provide a detailed description of solutions of Curve Shortening in $\R^n$ that are invariant under some one-parameter symmetry group of the equation, paying particular attention to geometric properties of the curves, and the asymptotic…

We study new examples of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow, especially in Minkowski space. We consider for this purpose manifolds admitting submersions and cohomegeneity one actions by isometries on suitable open subsets. This…

We introduce a novel energy method that reinterprets ``curve shortening'' as ``tangent aligning''. This conceptual shift enables the variational study of infinite-length curves evolving by the curve shortening flow, as well as higher order…

For a polygon in Euclidean space we consider a transformation T which is obtained by applying the midpoints polygon construction twice and using an index shift. For a closed polygon this is a curve shortening process. A polygon is called…
