We study the mean curvature evolution of smooth, closed, twoconvex hypersurfaces in Rn+1 for n ≥ 3.Within this framework we effect a reconciliation between the flow with surgeries—recently constructed by Huisken and Sinestrari in [HS3]—and the wellknown weak solution of the level-set flow: we prove that the two solutions agree in an appropriate limit of the surgery parameters and in a precise quantitative sense. Our proof relies on geometric estimates for certain Lp-norms of the mean curvature which are of independent interest even in the setting of classicalmean curvature flow. We additionally show how our construction can be used to pass these estimates to limits and produce regularity results for the weak solution.

We show that the dynamics of automorphisms on all projective complex manifolds X (of dimension 3, or of any dimension but assuming the Good Minimal Model Program or Mori’s Program) are canonically built up from the dynamics on just three types of projective complex manifolds: complex tori, weak Calabi-Yau manifolds and rationally connected manifolds. As a by-product, we confirm the conjecture of Guedj [20] for automorphisms on 3-dimensional projective manifolds, and also determine π1(X).

We construct a new family of high genus examples of free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean unit 3-ball by desingularizing the intersection of a coaxial pair of a critical catenoid and an equatorial disk. The surfaces are constructed by singular perturbation methods and have three boundary components. They are the free boundary analogue of the Costa-Hoffman-Meeks surfaces and the surfaces constructed by Kapouleas by desingularizing coaxial catenoids and planes. It is plausible that the minimal surfaces we constructed here are the same as the ones obtained recently by Ketover using the min-max method.
