The mean curvature flow is an evolution process under which a submanifold deforms in the direction of its mean curvature vector. The hypersurface case has been much studied since the eighties. Recently, several theorems on regularity,…
Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…
Recently a new no-global-recollapse argument was given for some inhomogeneous and anisotropic cosmologies that utilizes surface deformation by the mean curvature flow. In this paper we discuss important properties of the mean curvature flow…
Surfaces of revolution in three-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. Several new examples of surfaces of revolution associated with well-known solvable cases of the Schoedinger equation (infinite well, harmonic oscillator, Coulomb…
The biharmonic flow of hypersurfaces $M^n$ immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ is given by a fourth order geometric evolution equation, which is similar to the Willmore flow. We apply the Michael-Simon-Sobolev…
Evolving smooth, compact hypersurfaces in R^{n+1} with normal speed equal to a positive power k of the mean curvature improves a certain 'isoperimetric difference' for k >= n-1. As singularities may develop before the volume goes to zero,…
We consider the evolution of a $n$-dimensional convex hypersurface in the euclidean space under mean curvature flow with densities $e^{\varepsilon \frac12 n\mu^2 |x|^2}$, $\varepsilon =\pm 1$, and completely determine it depending on the…
We provide explicit examples which show that mean convexity (i.e. positivity of the mean curvature) and positivity of the scalar curvature are non-preserved curvature conditions for hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space evolving under either…
The gradient-flow dynamics of an arbitrary geometric quantity is derived using a generalization of Darcy's Law. We consider flows in both Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations. The Lagrangian formulation includes a dissipative modification…
We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed given by a power of the $k$-th mean curvature $E_k$ plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume…
In this paper we will discuss how one may be able to use mean curvature flow to tackle some of the central problems in topology in 4-dimensions. We will be concerned with smooth closed 4-manifolds that can be smoothly embedded as a…
We prove that any strongly regular Weingarten surface in Euclidean space carries locally geometric principal parameters. The basic theorem states that any strongly regular Weingarten surface is determined up to a motion by its structural…
In this paper we establish the short-time existence and uniqueness theorem for hyperbolic geometric flow, and prove the nonlinear stability of hyperbolic geometric flow defined on the Euclidean space with dimension larger than 4. Wave…
We obtain explicit solutions of the mean curvature flow in some submanifolds of the Euclidean space. We give particularly an explicit solution of the flow of a hypersurface in the Lagrangian self-expander $L$ which is constructed in the…
In an ambient space with rotational symmetry around an axis (which include the Hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces), we study the evolution under the volume-preserving mean curvature flow of a revolution hypersurface M generated by a graph over…
We investigate the question of unitarity of evolution between hypersurfaces in quantum field theory in curved spacetime from the perspective of the general boundary formulation. Unitarity thus means unitarity of the quantum operator that…
In this article, we first investigate the kinematics of specific geodesic flows on two dimensional media with constant curvature, by explicitly solving the evolution (Raychaudhuri) equations for the expansion, shear and rotation along the…
We analyse second order (in Riemann curvature) geometric flows (un-normalised) on locally homogeneous three manifolds and look for specific features through the solutions (analytic whereever possible, otherwise numerical) of the evolution…
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to a thorough analysis of the class of gradient flows in a metric space $(X,\mathsf{d})$ that can be characterized by Evolution Variational Inequalities. We present new results concerning the…
We consider global geometric properties of a codimension one manifold embedded in Euclidean space, as it evolves under an isotropic and volume preserving Brownian flow of diffeomorphisms. In particular, we obtain expressions describing the…
