Pinchoff by surface diffusion
Glen Wheeler
We construct surface diffusion flows that drive smooth closed embedded tori to pinchoff in finite time. The flow remains embedded for $t\…

Concentration-compactness for the geometric polyharmonic heat flow
James McCoy, Scott Parkins, Glen Wheeler +1
We develop a concentration-compactness theory for geometric evolution equations of arbitrarily high order, using the geometric polyharmonic heat flow of closed immersed surfaces in…
