Singularities of the Mean Curvature Flow of Mean Convex Hypersurfaces - Lecture 5

Explore the intricacies of mean curvature flow in this lecture by Carlo Sinestrari from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Delve into the singularities that arise in mean convex hypersurfaces as part of the International School on Extrinsic Curvature Flows. Begin with an introduction to the topic, followed by an examination of the max inequality and its motivation. Investigate weak solutions and their implications before moving on to the concept of flow with surgeries. Focus on the mean curvature flow and its characteristics, paying particular attention to Type 2 singularities. Conclude with intuitive ideas that help solidify understanding of these complex mathematical concepts. This comprehensive presentation offers valuable insights for mathematicians and researchers interested in geometric analysis and differential geometry.
