Summary
Minimal surfaces and singularities of mean curvature flow. The project aims to characterise the geometric structure of minimal surfaces in the variational theory and classify singularities of mean curvature flow. Minimal surfaces are mathematical models of soap films, and their time-varying analogue is mean curvature flow, a dynamic process by which a surface flows to decrease its area as quickly as possible. As a central topic in geometric analysis, the theory of minimal surfaces and mean curv ....Minimal surfaces and singularities of mean curvature flow. The project aims to characterise the geometric structure of minimal surfaces in the variational theory and classify singularities of mean curvature flow. Minimal surfaces are mathematical models of soap films, and their time-varying analogue is mean curvature flow, a dynamic process by which a surface flows to decrease its area as quickly as possible. As a central topic in geometric analysis, the theory of minimal surfaces and mean curvature flow has proven to be a powerful and essential tool in mathematics. The project expects to generate new and significant results in minimal surfaces and singularity analysis of mean curvature flow and enhance potential applications in related disciplines such as computer vision and probability.Read moreRead less
