Distributional solutions to mean curvature flow

Abstract

These lecture notes aim to present some of the ideas behind the recent (conditional) existence and (weak-strong) uniqueness theory for mean curvature flow. Focusing on the simplest case of the evolution of a single closed hypersurface allows for a self-contained and concise presentation, which is accessible for beginning graduate students with some background in PDEs and only requires basic measure theory.
