Under certain conditions such as the $2$-convexity, a singularity of the level set flow is of type I (in the sense that the rate of curvature blow-up is constrained before and after the singular time) if and only if the flow shrinks to…
The only non-compact linearly stable singularity models for mean curvature flow are cylindrical by Colding-Minicozzi. The uniqueness of blowups at singularities modeled on the cylinders has been established by the same authors. In this…

Disordered packings of soft grains are fragile mechanical systems that loose rigidity upon lowering the external pressure towards zero. At zero pressure, we find that any infinitesimal strain-impulse propagates initially as a non-linear…

We prove finite-time vorticity blowup for smooth solutions of the 2D compressible Euler equations with smooth, localized, and non-vacuous initial data. The vorticity blowup occurs at the time of the first singularity, and is accompanied by…
