The space of asymptotically conical self-expanders of mean curvature flow

Mean Curvature Blowup in Mean Curvature Flow

In this note we establish that finite-time singularities of the mean curvature flow of compact Riemannian submanifolds M t →֒ (N, h) are characterised by the blow up of the mean curvature.

In this article, we examine complete, mean-convex self-expanders for the mean curvature flow whose ends have decaying principal curvatures. We prove a Liouville-type theorem associated to this class of self-expanders. As an application, we show that mean-convex self-expanders which are asymptotic to O(n)-invariant cones are rotationally symmetric.

Hypersurfaces with Constant Mean Curvature in a Lorentzian Space Form

Mean curvature flow

Mean curvature flow is the negative gradient flow of volume, so any hypersurface flows through hypersurfaces in the direction of steepest descent for volume and eventually becomes extinct in finite time. Before it becomes extinct, topological changes can occur as it goes through singularities. If the hypersurface is in general or generic position, then we explain what singularities can occur un...

Riemannian Mean Curvature Flow

In this paper we explicitly derive a level set formulation for mean curvature flow in a Riemannian metric space. This extends the traditional geodesic active contour framework which is based on conformal flows. Curve evolution for image segmentation can be posed as a Riemannian evolution process where the induced metric is related to the local structure tensor. Examples on both synthetic and re...
