As an application, we provide a class of Riemannian manifolds that admit hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures, which are not isoparametric hypersurfaces. Furthermore, for a class of ambient spaces, we show that the singularities developed by the mean curvature flow with isoparametric hypersurfaces as the initial data are Type I singularities. We apply our results to describe the evolution of isoparametric hypersurfaces by the mean curvature flow in ambient spaces with nonconstant sectional curvature, such as homogenous 3-manifolds E(κ, τ) with 4-dimensional isometry groups, and Riemannian products ℚ²_(c₁) × ℚ²_(c₂) of space forms.Mean curvature flowSingularities3-manifolds4-manifoldsSphere theoremsStability & uniqueness
