Ilmanen's smooth-blowup conjecture for embedded hypersurfaces
Let an embedded hypersurface evolve by mean curvature flow in , with , and consider blow-ups at singularities. Ilmanen's smooth-blowup conjecture. The blow-ups are smooth for embedded hypersurfaces in up to . The source states that this conjecture remains open for ; if it holds together with the multiplicity-one conjecture in these dimensions, then the mean curvature must blow up at the first finite singular time for a closed smooth embedded flow.
