The asymptotic of the Mullins-Sekerka and the area-preserving curvature flow in the planar flat torus

arXiv:2503.05399

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of flat flow solutions to the periodic and planar two-phase Mullins-Sekerka flow and area-preserving curvature flow. We show that flat flows converge to either a finite union of equally sized disjoint disks or to a finite union of disjoint strips or to the complement of these configurations exponentially fast. A key ingredient in our approach is the derivation of a sharp quantitative Alexandrov inequality for periodic smooth sets.
