The Inverse Mean Curvature Flow in Rotationally Symmetric Spaces

In this paper, the motion of inverse mean curvature flow which starts from a closed star-sharped hypersurface in special rotationally symmetric spaces is studied. It is proved that the flow converges to a unique geodesic sphere, i.e., every principle curvature of the hypersurfaces converges to a same constant under the flow.     

Nonparametric Mean Curvature Flow with Nearly Vertical Contact Angle Condition

For any bounded strictly convex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary, we find the prescribed contact angle which is nearly perpendicular such that nonparametric mean curvature flow with contact angle boundary condition converge to ones which move by translation. Subsequently, the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions to the capillary problem without gravity on strictly convex domain are also discussed.     

On the Conditions of Extending Mean Curvature Flow

The authors consider a family of smooth immersions F(·,t):Mn → Rn+1 of closed hypersurfaces in Rn+1 moving by the mean curvature flow F∈(pt,t)=-H(p,t)·ν(p,t) for t ∈ [0,T).They show that if the norm of the second fundamental form is bounded above by some power of mean curvature and the certain subcritical quantities concerning the mean curvature integral are bounded,then the flow can extend past time T.The result is similar to that in [6-9].     

Generalized Mean Curvature Flow in Carnot Groups

In this paper we study the generalized mean curvature flow of sets in the sub-Riemannian geometry of Carnot groups. We extend to our context the level sets method and the weak (viscosity) solutions introduced in the Euclidean setting in [4 Chen , Y. , Giga , Y. , Goto , S. ( 1991 ). Uniqueness and existence of viscosity solutions of generalized mean curvature flow equations . J. Diff. Geom. 33 : 749 – 786 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and [12 Evans , L. C. , Spruck , J. ( 1991 ). Motion of level sets by mean curvature. I . J. Diff. Geom. 33 ( 3 ): 635 – 681 . [Google Scholar]]. We establish two special cases of the comparison principle, existence, uniqueness and basic geometric properties of the flow.     

Mean Curvature Flow with Convex Gauss Image

In this paper,the mean curvature flow of complete submanifolds in Euclidean space with convex Gauss image and bounded curvature is studied.The confinable property of the Gauss image under the mean curvature flow is proved,which in turn helps one to obtain the curvature estimates.Then the author proves a long time existence result.The asymptotic behavior of these solutions when t→∞is also studied.     

Mean Curvature Flow via Convex Functions on Grassmannian Manifolds

Using the convex functions on Grassmannian manifolds, the authors obtain the interior estimates for the mean curvature flow of higher codimension. Confinable properties of Gauss images under the mean curvature flow have been obtained, which reveal that if the Gauss image of the initial submanifold is contained in a certain sublevel set of the v-function, then all the Gauss images of the submanifolds under the mean curvature flow are also contained in the same sublevel set of the v-function. Under such restrictions, curvature estimates in terms of v-function composed with the Gauss map can be carried out.     

Mean Curvature Flow Closes Open Ends of Noncompact Surfaces of Rotation

We discuss the motion of noncompact axisymmetric hypersurfaces Γ _t evolved by mean curvature flow. Our study provides a class of hypersurfaces that share the same quenching time with the shrinking cylinder evolved by the flow and prove that they tend to a smooth hypersurface having no pinching neck and having closed ends at infinity of the axis of rotation as the quenching time is approached. Moreover, they are completely characterized by a condition on initial hypersurface.     

Periodic Rotating Waves of a Geodesic Curvature Flow on the Sphere

Given a zone on the unit sphere S² with periodic undulating boundaries, we consider the motion of a curve in this zone which is driven by its geodesic curvature. First, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of periodic rotating waves. Then we study how the average rotating speed of the periodic rotating wave depends on the geometry of the boundaries. We find that when the period of the boundaries tends to 0, the homogenization limit of the rotating speed depends only on the maximum slope of the domain boundaries.     

Two-Dimensional Graphs Moving by Mean Curvature Flow

A surface Σ is a graph in ?⁴ if there is a unit constant 2-form ω on ?⁴ such that <e ₁∧e ₂, ω≥v ₀>0 where {e ₁, e ₂} is an orthonormal frame on Σ. We prove that, if $ \vartheta _{0} \geqslant \frac{1} {{{\sqrt 2 }}} A surface Σ is a graph in ℝ⁴ if there is a unit constant 2-form ω on ℝ⁴ such that <e ₁∧e ₂, ω>≥v ₀>0 where {e ₁, e ₂} is an orthonormal frame on Σ. We prove that, if v ₀≥ on the initial surface, then the mean curvature flow has a global solution and the scaled surfaces converge to a self-similar solution. A surface Σ is a graph in M ₁×M ₂ where M ₁ and M ₂ are Riemann surfaces, if <e ₁∧e ₂, ω₁>≥v ₀>0 where ω₁ is a K?hler form on M ₁. We prove that, if M is a K?hler-Einstein surface with scalar curvature R, v ₀≥ on the initial surface, then the mean curvature flow has a global solution and it sub-converges to a minimal surface, if, in addition, R≥0 it converges to a totally geodesic surface which is holomorphic.

Construction of Lagrangian Self-similar Solutions to the Mean Curvature Flow in \mathbb{C}^n

We give new examples of self-shrinking and self-expanding Lagrangian solutions to the Mean Curvature Flow (MCF). These are Lagrangian submanifolds in , which are foliated by (n − 1)-spheres (or more generally by minimal (n − 1)-Legendrian submanifolds of ), and for which the study of the self-similar equation reduces to solving a non-linear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). In the self-shrinking case, we get a family of submanifolds generalising in some sense the self-shrinking curves found by Abresch and Langer.     

The Second Type Singularities of Symplectic and Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flows

This paper mainly deals with the type II singularities of the mean curvature flow from a symplectic surface or from an almost calibrated Lagrangian surface in a Kähler surface. The relation between the maximum of the Kähler angle and the maximum of |H|² on the limit flow is studied. The authors also show the nonexistence of type II blow-up flow of a symplectic mean curvature flow which is normal flat or of an almost calibrated Lagrangian mean curvature flow which is flat.     

A Relation between Mean Curvature Flow Solitons and Minimal Submanifolds

We derive a one to one correspondence between conformal solitons of the mean curvature flow in an ambient space N and minimal submanifolds in a different ambient space where equals ℝ × N equipped with a warped product metric and show that a submanifold inN converges to a conformal soliton under the mean curvature flow in N if and only if its associatedsubmanifold in converges to a minimal submanifold under a rescaled mean curvature flow in . We then define a notion of stability for conformal solitons and obtain L^p estimates as well as pointwise estimates for the curvature of stable solitons.

Mean Curvature Flow with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions in Riemannian Manifolds with Symmetries

Consider a hypermanifold M ₀ of a Riemannian manifold N whose Riccicurvature is bounded from below. If M ₀ is transversal to a conformalvector field on N, then conditions are given, such that the meancurvature evolution of M ₀ with Dirichlet boundary conditions has asolution for all times.     

Mean Curvature Motion of Triple Junctions of Graphs in Two Dimensions

We consider a system of three surfaces, graphs over a bounded domain in ?², intersecting along a time-dependent curve and moving by mean curvature while preserving the pairwise angles at the curve of intersection (equal to 2π/3.) For the corresponding two-dimensional parabolic free boundary problem we prove short-time existence of classical solutions (in parabolic Hölder spaces), for sufficiently regular initial data satisfying a compatibility condition.     

Mean Curvature Flow of Arbitrary Codimension in Complex Projective Spaces*

Recently, Pipoli and Sinestrari [Pipoli, G. and Sinestrari, C., Mean curvature flow of pinched submanifolds of CPⁿ, Comm. Anal. Geom., 25, 2017, 799–846] initiated the study of convergence problem for the mean curvature flow of small codimension in the complex projective space CP^m. The purpose of this paper is to develop the work due to Pipoli and Sinestrari, and verify a new convergence theorem for the mean curvature flow of arbitrary codimension in the complex projective space. Namely, the authors prove that if the initial submanifold in CP^m satisfies a suitable pinching condition, then the mean curvature flow converges to a round point in finite time, or converges to a totally geodesic submanifold as t → ∞. Consequently, they obtain a differentiable sphere theorem for submanifolds in the complex projective space.

Ginzburg-Landau Vortex and Mean Curvature Flow with External Force Field

This paper is devoted to the study of the vortex dynamics of the Cauchy problem for a parabolic Ginzburg Landau system which simulates inhomogeneous type II superconducting materials and three-dimensional superconducting thin films having variable thickness. We will prove that the vortex of the problem is moved by a codimension k mean curvature flow with external force field. Besides, we will show that the mean curvature flow depends strongly on the external force, having completely different phenomena from the usual mean curvature flow.
