We study the evolution of compact convex curves in two-dimensional space forms. The normal speed is given by the difference of the weighted inverse curvature with the support function, and in the case where the ambient space is the…

We consider a convex Euclidean hypersurface that evolves by a volume or area preserving flow with speed given by a general nonhomogeneous function of the mean curvature. For a broad class of possible speed functions, we show that any closed…

The speed of a ball rolling without skidding or spinning on a surface $S$ is the length of the velocity of its center. We show that if the speed depends only on $p\in S$, then $S$ has constant mean curvature; and, conversely, that if the…

Given $ n \geq 2 $ and $ k \in \{2, \ldots , n\} $, we study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of bounded $C^2$-domains of finite total curvature in $ \mathbb{R}^{n+1} $ converging in volume and perimeter, and with the $ k $-th mean…

We establish a sharp rate of convergence for a free-boundary curve shortening flow in a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ which converges in finite time to a round half-point.

We prove that codimension two surfaces satisfying a nonlinear curvature condition depending on normal curvature are smoothly deformed by mean curvature flow to round points.

We prove a vertical halfspace theorem for surfaces with constant mean curvature $H={1/2},$ properly immersed in the product space $\h^2\times\re,$ where $\h^2$ is the hyperbolic plane and $\re$ is the set of real numbers. The proof is a…

We prove that simply connected H-surfaces with bounded area and free boundary in a domain necessarily concentrate at a critical point of the mean curvature of the boundary of this domain.

We study the convergence of an axially symmetric hypersurface evolving by volume preserving mean curvature flow. Assuming the surface is not pinching off along the axis at any time during the flow, and without any additional conditions, as…

In this article we study the shape of a compact surface of constant mean curvature of Euclidean space whose boundary is contained in a round sphere. We consider the case that the boundary is prescribed or that the surface meets the sphere…

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…

For a parabolic surface partial differential equation coupled to surface evolution, convergence of the spatial semidiscretization is studied in this paper. The velocity of the evolving surface is not given explicitly, but depends on the…

A variant of the Gauss curvature flow for closed and convex hypersurfaces is considered. We reveal that if the initial hypersurface is pinched enough, then this property is preserved. Furthermore, based on some structure assumptions on the…

In this paper, we prove a local rigidity of convex hypersurfaces in the spaces of constant curvature of dimension $n\ge4$. Namely, we show that two convex isometric hypersurfaces are congruent locally around their corresponding under the…

We prove two rigidity results for surfaces lying in the standard null hypersurfaces of Schwarzschild spacetime satisfying certain mean curvature type equations. The first is for the equation $\alpha_H = - d\log |H|$ studied in \cite{WWZ}.…

The $c$-curvature of a complete surface with Gauss curvature close to 1 in $C^2$ norm is almost-positive (in the sense of Kim--McCann). Our proof goes by a careful case by case analysis combined with perturbation arguments from the constant…

We prove the existence of closed convex ancient solutions to curvature flows which become more and more oval for large negative times. The speed function is a general symmetric function of the principal curvatures, homogeneous of degree…

We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…

Here is an English summary of the abstract: This research investigates a geometric dynamical mechanism within a specific class of domains that contain a fixed convex core. By using a radial structure that links the boundaries of the core…

We prove convergence results for expanding curvature flows in the Euclidean and hyperbolic space. The flow speeds have the form $F^{-p}$, where $p>1$ and $F$ is a positive, strictly monotone and 1-homogeneous curvature function. In…
