We consider a mean curvature flow in a cone, that is, a hypersurface in a cone which moves toward the opening with normal velocity equaling to the mean curvature, and the contact angle between the hypersurface and the cone boundary being…
For a $k$-dimensional Brakke flow on an open subset $U \subset \mathbf{R}^{n}$, over an open time interval $J$, we prove the existence of a canonical space-time-Grassmann measure $\lambda$, over $J \times \mathbf{G}_{k} (U)$, and give a…
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…
