Yoshihiro Tonegawa (Inst. of Science Tokyo): Introduction to Brakke's Mean Curvature Flow

Lecture Course :  tbd VU
Time: tbd
Start: tbd
Further dates: tbd
End: tbd

Abstract: The mean curvature flow (MCF) is a family of surfaces evolving in time whose velocity is equal to the mean curvature at each point and time. It is one of the most important geometric evolution problems with many avenues of studies. The course will focus on the approach initiated by Brakke in the 1970's in the framework of geometric measure theory among other approaches. Starting with some preliminaries on the measure-theoretic aspects, the basic properties of MCF as well as some advanced topics such as the general existence theory will be covered.
