Questions tagged [mean-curvature-flows]

For questions about different versions of mean curvature flow, including the level set flow and Brakke flow.

The mean curvature flow is a family of immersions $M_t$ so that $$\partial_t M_t = \vec H_t,$$ where $\vec H_t$ is the mean curvature vector. The mean curvature flow is the gradient flow of the area functional, and is related to the study of minimal surfaces. Any questions concerning mean curvature flow should use this tags. These include

  • Level set flow (consider also using the tags viscosity solution, pde)

  • Brakke flow (consider also using the tag geometric measure theory)

  • Huisken's monotonicity formula, type I/II singularities, self-shrinkers.

  • Self-expanders and translating soliton in mean curvature flow.

  • $F$-stability, entropy stability of self-shrinkers.

  • Normalized mean curvature flow

To improve visibility of the question, consider also using the tags differential-geometry or riemannian-geometry.

A frame in **Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres**

Picture below is from 242th page of Huisken, Gerhard, Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres, J. Differ. Geom. 20, 237-266 (1984). ZBL0556.53001. $H$ is the mean curvature. I don't know how to get the red line under this frame.…

A distance Comparison principle for evolving curves (Huisken)

I am reading "A distance Comparison principle for evolving curves", an article where Huisken gives an alternative proof of Grayson's theorem. I can't understand the proof of Theorem 2.1. Why $0=\delta(e_1\oplus…
