This is an essay on potential theory for geometric plurisubharmonic functions. It begins with a given closed subset G of the Grassmann bundle G(p,TX)G(p,TX) of tangent pp-planes to a riemannian manifold XX. This determines a nonlinear partial differential equation which is convex but never uniformly elliptic (p < dim X). …

Under the mean curvature flow, uniformly convex smooth initial hypersurfaces evolve to remain smooth and uniformly convex, and contract to points after finite time. The same holds if the initial data is only weakly convex or non-smoot…
