Abstract

In this article, we generalize our previous results joint with Pedro Gaspar to higher dimensions, prove the existence of (infinitely many) eternal weak mean curvature flows in (for all ) connecting a Clifford hypersurface to the equatorial spheres .

Comments: 19 pages, updated the proof of Lemma 2. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2107.09140
