We consider the evolution by mean curvature flow of a closed submanifold of the complex projective space. We show that, if the submanifold has small codimension and satisfies a suitable pinching condition on the second fundamental form,…

We prove a new existence theorem for proper solutions of Huisken and Ilmanen's weak inverse mean curvature flow, assuming certain non-degeneracy conditions on the isoperimetric profile. In particular, no curvature assumption is imposed in…

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…

We give a sufficient condition ensuring that the mean curvature flow commutes with a Riemannian submersion and we use this result to create new examples of evolution by mean curvature flow. In particular we consider evolution of pinched…

In this note we generalize an extension theorem in [5] and [9] of the mean curvature flow to the H^{k} mean curvature flow under some extra conditions. The main difficult problem in proving the extension theorem is to find a suitable…

Given a smooth closed embedded self-shrinker $S$ with index $I$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, we construct an $I$-dimensional family of complete translators polynomially asymptotic to $S\times\mathbb{R}$ at infinity, which answers a long-standing…

For hypersurfaces of dimension greater than one, Huisken showed that compact self-shrinkers of the mean curvature flow with positive scalar mean curvature are spheres. We will prove the following extension: A compact self-similar solution…

We estimate from above the rate at which a solution to the rescaled mean curvature flow on a closed hypersurface may converge to a limit self-similar solution, i.e. a shrinker. Our main result implies that any solution which converges to a…

This paper concerns the inverse mean curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces which are Lipschitz in general. After defining a weak solution, we study the evolution of the singularity by looking at the blow-up tangent cone around each…
