Closed mean curvature flow with asymptotically conical singularities

Abstract: In this talk, we will talk about the proof of that for any asymptotically conical self-shrinker, there exists an embedded closed hypersurface such that the mean curvature flow starting from it develops a singularity modeled on the given shrinker. As a corollary, it implies the existence of fattening level set flows starting from smooth embedded closed hypersurfaces. This addresses a question posed by Evans-Spruck and De Giorgi. The talk is based on the joint work with Tang-Kai Lee.
