In this talk\, I will discuss the cla ssification of ancient solutions to curvature flows on the sphere. I will prove that the sphere exhibits a very strong rigidity: any ancient solutio n of a curvature flow which satisfies a backwards in time uniform bound on mean curvature must be stationary or a family of shrinking geodesic spher e. The main tools are geometric\, employing the maximum principle\, a rigi dity result in the sphere and an Alexandrov reflection argument.\n DTSTART:20170217T183000Z DTEND:20170217T190000Z LOCATION:Room LB-921-04\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1M8\, Library Building C oncordia\, 1400 de Maisonneuve West SUMMARY:Mohammad Najafi\, T.U.
