Neckpinch dynamics for asymmetric surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow /
The authors study noncompact surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow (mcf). For an open set of initial data that are C^3-close to round, but without assuming rotational symmetry or positive mean curvature, the authors show that mcf solutions become singular in finite time by forming neckpinches, an...
