Abstract: A central question in geometric flow is to understand the change of geometry and topology after passing through singularities. In this talk, I will focus on mean curvature flow, the negative gradient flow of area functional, and explain how the local dynamics influence the shape of the flow near a singularity, as well as how the geometry and topology of the flow change after passing through a singularity with generic dynamics. This talk is based on the joint work with Ao Sun and Jinxin Xue.
