The paper confirms Ilmanen's conjecture about mean curvature flows.

Study on axially symmetric surfaces' flow, showing all singularities are of type I.

In this paper, we prove that the mean curvature blows up at the same rate as the second fundamental form at the first singular time $T$ of any compact, Type I mean curvature flow. For the mean curvature flow of surfaces, we obtain similar result provided that the Gaussian density is less than two. Our proofs are based …

Study of Lagrangian mean curvature flow with equivariant symmetry.

The purpose of this article is to examine the possible shapes of type I singularities that form in the mean curvature flow of submanifolds of arbitrary codimension, assuming that the initial submanifold satisfies a particular curvature pinching condition.

Ancient convex solutions to flow equations are limited to simple shapes.

We define Type I singularities for the mean curvature flow associated to a density $ψ$ ($ψ$MCF) and describe the blow-up at singular time of these singularities. Special attention is paid to the case where the singularity come from the part of the $ψ$-curvature due to the density. We describe a family of curves whose e…

Huisken studied asymptotic behavior of a mean curvature flow in a Euclidean space when it develops a singularity of type I, and proved that its rescaled flow converges to a self-shrinker in the Euclidean space. In this paper, we generalize this result for a Ricci-mean curvature flow moving along a Ricci flow constructe…

Ancient solutions arise in the study of parabolic blow-ups. If we can categorize ancient solutions, we can better understand blow-up limits. Based on an argument of Giga and Kohn, we give a Liouville-type theorem restricting ancient, type-I, non-collapsing two- dimensional mean curvature flows to either spheres or cyli…

Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature cannot develop Type I singular points.

We define several notions of singular set for Type I Ricci flows and show that they all coincide. In order to do this, we prove that blow-ups around singular points converge to nontrivial gradient shrinking solitons, thus extending work of Naber. As a by-product we conclude that the volume of a finite-volume singular s…

In this paper we investigate the singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flows in $\mathbf{C}^m$ by means of smooth singularity models. Type I singularities can only occur at certain times determined by invariants in the cohomology of the initial data. In the type II case, these smooth singularity models are asympto…

The study shows stability of neckpinch singularities in mean curvature flows.

This paper studies mean curvature flows near cylindrical singularities.

Under mean curvature flow, a closed, embedded hypersurface $M(t)$ becomes singular in finite time. For certain classes of mean-convex mean curvature flows, we show the continuity of the first singular time $T$ and the limit set "$M(T)$", with respect to initial data. We employ an Angenent-like neck-pinching argument to…

In this paper, we study the generalized Lagrangian mean curvature flow in almost Einstein manifold proposed by T. Behrndt. We show that the singularity of this flow is characterized by the second fundamental form. We also show that the rescaled flow at a singularity converges to a finite union of Special Lagrangian con…

Paper constructs flows converging to cones and foliations.

Let Σbe a compact oriented surface immersed in a four dimensional Kähler-Einstein manifold M. We consider the evolution of Σin the direction of its mean curvature vector. It is proved that being symplectic is preserved along the flow and the flow does not develop type I singularity. When M has two parallel Kähler forms…

Given a singular Riemannian foliation on a compact Riemannian manifold, we study the mean curvature flow equation with a regular leaf as initial datum. We prove that if the leaves are compact and the mean curvature vector field is basic, then any finite time singularity is a singular leaf, and the singularity is of typ…

Ancient solutions of Ricci flow with Type I growth are classified.

Selective inference controls Type I error in k-means clustering tests.

We show that a mean curvature flow starting from a compact, smoothly embedded hypersurface M remains unique past singularities, provided the singularities are of mean convex type, i.e., if around each singular point, the surface moves in one direction. Specifically, the level set flow of M does not fatten if all singul…

The paper extends Ricci flow theory with Type-I scalar curvature bounds, proving entropy convergence and characterizing singular sets.

Study on MCF of foliations, focusing on singular cases.

We investigate the formation of singularities for surfaces evolving by volume preserving mean curvature flow. For axially symmetric flows - surfaces of revolution - in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with Neumann boundary conditions, we prove that the first developing singularity is of Type I. The result is obtained without any additio…

Local singularity analysis for Ricci flows with applications to bounded scalar curvature.

Study on ancient Ricci flows with positive curvature, proving noncollapsedness.

Consider a family of smooth immersions $F(\cdot,t): M^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ of closed hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ moving by the mean curvature flow $\frac{\partial F(p,t)}{\partial t} = -H(p,t)\cdot ν(p,t)$, for $t\in [0,T)$. We prove that the mean curvature blows up at the first singular time $T$ if all singu…

Study shows different behaviors of noncompact hypersurfaces under mean curvature flow.

In this short paper, we show there do not exist three-dimensional noncompact $κ$-solutions of Ricci flow that have positive curvature and satisfy a Type-I bound. This represents progress towards the proof of Perelman's conjecture that the only complete noncompact three-dimensional $κ$-solution with positive curvature i…

Proposes selective inference for testing differences in means between clusters.

Study of mean curvature flow in warped products preserving equivariance.

We consider Type I Ricci flows and obtain integral estimates for the curvature tensor valid up to, and including, the singular time. Our estimates partially extend to higher dimensions a curvature estimate recently shown to hold in dimension three by Kleiner and Lott. To do this we adapt the technique of quantitative s…

The main result of this paper is: Given any constant C, there is $(ε,k,L)$ such that if a complete, orientable, noncompact odd-dimensional manifold with bounded positive sectional curvature contains a $(ε,k,L)$-neck, then the asymptotic scalar curvature ratio is bigger or equal to C. As a application we proved that the…

Study geometric structure of Ricci shrinker ends without global curvature assumptions.

In a singular Type I Ricci flow, we consider a stratification of the set where there is curvature blow-up, according to the number of the Euclidean factors split by the tangent flows. We then show that the strata are characterized roughly in terms of the decay rate of their volume, which in our context plays the role o…
