We show that closed hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with nonnegative scalar curvature are weakly mean convex. In contrast, the statement is no longer true if the scalar curvature is replaced by the k-th mean curvature, for k greater than…

We investigate discrete spin transformations, a geometric framework to manipulate surface meshes by controlling mean curvature. Applications include surface fairing -- flowing a mesh onto say, a reference sphere -- and mesh extrusion --…

In this paper, we prove the short-time existence of hyperbolic inverse (mean) curvature flow (with or without the specified forcing term) under the assumption that the initial compact smooth hypersurface of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$…

We compute the geodesic curvature of logarithmic spirals on surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature. In addition, we show that the asymptotic behavior of the geodesic curvature is independent of the curvature of the ambient surface. We also…

A nonlocal curvature flow is introduced to evolve locally convex curves in the plane. It is proved that this flow with any initial locally convex curve has a global solution, keeping the local convexity and the elastic energy of the…

We consider geometric flows of hypersurfaces expanding by a function of the extrinsic curvature and we show that the homothethic sphere is the unique solution of the flow which converges to a point at the initial time. The result does not…

This paper discusses the geometry of a surface endowed with a slope metric. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for any surface of revolution to admit a strongly convex slope metric. Such conditions involve certain inequalities…

We propose a computation of curvature of arbitrary two-dimensional surfaces of three-dimensional objects, which is a contribution to discrete gravity with potential applications in network geometry. We begin by linking each point of the…

Models for fluid deformable surfaces provide valid theories to describe the dynamics of thin fluidic sheets of soft materials. To use such models in morphogenesis and development requires to incorporate active forces. We consider active…

The two-dimensional motion of an object on a moving rough horizontal plane is investigated. Two cases are studied: the plane having a translational acceleration, and a rotating plane. For the first case, the motions of a point particle and…

We investigate how thin structures change their shape in response to non-mechanical stimuli that can be interpreted as variations in the structure's natural curvature. Starting from the theory of non-Euclidean plates and shells, we derive…

A model describing cell membranes as optimal shapes with regard to the $L^2$-deficit of their mean curvature to a given constant called spontaneous curvature is considered. It is shown that the corresponding energy functional is lower…

We study the hydrodynamic coupling between particles and solid, rough boundaries characterized by random surface textures. Using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem, we derive analytical expressions for the grand mobility tensor of a spherical…

Here, we study the motion of axisymmetric hypersurfaces $\{\Gamma_t\}_{t\ge0}$ evolved by forced mean curvature flows in the periodic setting. We establish conditions that quenching occurs or does not occur in terms of the initial data and…

We study self-expanding solutions $M^m\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of the mean curvature flow. One of our main results is, that complete mean convex self-expanding hypersurfaces are products of self-expanding curves and flat subspaces, if and…

A particle that is constrained to freely move on a hyperspherical surface in an $N\left( \geq 2\right) $ dimensional flat space experiences a curvature-induced gauge potential, whose form was given long ago (J. Math. Phys.…

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…

We define an attractive gravity probe surface (AGPS) as a compact 2-surface $S_\alpha$ with positive mean curvature $k$ satisfying $r^a D_a k / k^2 \ge \alpha$ (for a constant $\alpha>-1/2$) in the local inverse mean curvature flow, where…

In this paper we construct complete convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ which translate under the flow by powers $\alpha \in (0, \frac1{n+2})$ of the Gauss curvature. The level set of each solution is asymptotic to a shrinking soliton…

We study singularities of constant positive Gaussian curvature surfaces and determine the way they bifurcate in generic 1-parameter families of such surfaces. We construct the bifurcations explicitly using loop group methods. Constant…
