We study weak solutions to mean curvature flow satisfying Young's angle condition for general contact angles $\alpha \in (0,\pi)$. First, we construct BV solutions using the Allen-Cahn approximation with boundary contact energy as proposed…

When mean curvature flow evolves non-uniquely, the flow is said to fatten. The work of Ilmanen shows that any weak MCF is supported inside the fattening, and work of Hershkovits--White identified canonical weak flows supported on the…

We are concerned with solutions to the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation in Riemannian manifolds. For a general class of initial condition we show non positivity of the limiting energy discrepancy. This in turn allows to prove almost…

We consider a flow by powers of Gauss curvature under the obstruction that the flow cannot penetrate a prescribed region, so called an obstacle. For all dimensions and positive powers, we prove the optimal curvature bounds of solutions and…

In the present paper, we study the existence of Brakke-type weak mean curvature flow satisfying the contact angle condition for general angle $ \theta \in ( 0 , \pi ) $ via Ilmanen's regularization. The main ingredients of the result are…

We show that a mean curvature flow obtained as the limit of the Allen--Cahn equation is not only a Brakke flow but also a generalized BV flow proposed by Stuvard and Tonegawa.

We give a proof that Brakke's mean curvature flow under the unit density assumption is smooth almost everywhere in space-time. More generally, if the velocity is equal in a weak sense to its mean curvature plus some given \alpha-H\"{o}lder…

In this paper, we prove long time existence and convergence results for a class of general curvature flows with Neumann boundary condition. This is the first result for the Neumann boundary problem of non Monge-Ampere type curvature…

In this paper, we construct a family of integral varifolds, which is a global weak solution to the volume preserving mean curvature flow in the sense of $L^2$-flow. This flow is also a distributional BV-solution for a short time, when the…

We prove convergence of solutions to the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation to Brakke's motion by mean curvature in space forms, generalizing previous results from [15] in Euclidean space. We show that a sequence of measures, associated to…

This paper establishes the global-in-time existence of a multi-phase mean curvature flow, evolving from an arbitrary closed rectifiable initial datum, which is a Brakke flow and a BV solution at the same time. In particular, we prove the…

Consider an arbitrary closed, countably $n$-rectifiable set in a strictly convex $(n+1)$-dimensional domain, and suppose that the set has finite $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and the complement is not connected. Starting from this given…

In this article we study eternal solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in the 3-sphere, in view of the connection between the gradient flow of the associated energy functional, and the mean curvature flow. We construct eternal integral…

We study the motion of a droplet evolving by mean curvature with volume constraint and contact angle condition on a half space. We prove the existence of a global-in-time weak solution, called the flat flow. A difficulty arises when we…

We prove that, if a Brakke flow with boundary is close enough to a stationary half-plane with density one, then it is $C^{1,\alpha}$. Our approach is based on viscosity techniques introduced by Savin in the context of elliptic equations.…

This paper is concerned with the motion of a time dependent hypersurface that evolves by mean curvature flow with a a volume constraint. Phase field approximation of this motion leads to the well known nonlocal Allen--Cahn equation. Here we…

We consider the sharp interface limit of the Allen-Cahn equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition in a two-dimensional domain $\Omega$, in the situation where an interface has developed and intersects $\partial\Omega$. Here a…

In this survey paper, I discuss some recent progress on the existence and regularity of Brakke flows. These include: an "end-time version" of Brakke's local regularity theorem, which allows to extend the validity of the celebrated…

In this paper we prove an analogue of the Brakke's $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation. In particular, we show uniform $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for the transition layers converging to smooth mean…

It is known that there is a strong relation between the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation and the mean curvature flow, in the sense that the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation can be considered as a ``diffused" mean curvature flow. In this work,…
