A New Proof Smooths Out the Math of Melting

SMRTR summary

Mathematicians have proven the "multiplicity-one" conjecture for mean curvature flow, a technique used to model melting ice and other phenomena. This breakthrough allows for better understanding of how surfaces evolve over time, even when singularities form, and may have important applications in geometry and topology.
