We prove the existence of solutions to the asymptotic Plateau problem for hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds $N$. More precisely, given a suitable subset $L$ of the asymptotic boundary of $N$ and a suitable function $H$ on $N$, we are able to construct a set of locally finite perimeter whose boundary has generalized mean curvature $H$ provided that $N$ satisfies the so-called strict convexity condition and that its sectional curvatures are bounded from above by a negative constant. We also obtain a multiplicity result in low dimensions.
Assuming that there exists a translating soliton $u_infty$ with speed $C$ and prescribed contact angle, we prove that a graphical solution to the mean curvature flow with the same prescribed contact angle converges to $u_infty +Ct$ as $ttoinfty$.
We employ three different methods to prove the following result on prescribed scalar curvature plus mean curvature problem: Let $(M^n,g_0)$ be a $n$-dimensional smooth compact manifold with boundary, where $n geq 3$, assume the conformal invariant $Y(M,partial M)<0$. Given any negative smooth functions $f$ in $M$ and $h$ on $partial M$, there exists a unique conformal metric of $g_0$ such that its scalar curvature equals $f$ and mean curvature curvature equals $h$. The first two methods are sub-super-solution method and subcritical approximation, and the third method is a geometric flow. In the flow approach, assume another conformal invariant $Q(M,pa M)$ is a negative real number, for some class of initial data, we prove the short time and long time existences of the so-called prescribed scalar curvature plus mean curvature flows, as well as their asymptotic convergence. Via a family of such flows together with some additional variational arguments, under the flow assumptions we prove existence and uniqueness of positive minimizers of the associated energy functional and also the above result by analyzing asymptotic limits of the flows and the relations among some conformal invariants.
We prove the mean curvature flow of a spacelike graph in $(Sigma_1times Sigma_2, g_1-g_2)$ of a map $f:Sigma_1to Sigma_2$ from a closed Riemannian manifold $(Sigma_1,g_1)$ with $Ricci_1> 0$ to a complete Riemannian manifold $(Sigma_2,g_2)$ with bounded curvature tensor and derivatives, and with sectional curvatures satisfying $K_2leq K_1$, remains a spacelike graph, exists for all time, and converges to a slice at infinity. We also show, with no need of the assumption $K_2leq K_1$, that if $K_1>0$, or if $Ricci_1>0$ and $K_2leq -c$, $c>0$ constant, any map $f:Sigma_1to Sigma_2$ is trivially homotopic provided $f^*g_2<rho g_1$ where $rho=min_{Sigma_1}K_1/sup_{Sigma_2}K_2^+geq 0$, in case $K_1>0$, and $rho=+infty$ in case $K_2leq 0$. This largely extends some known results for $K_i$ constant and $Sigma_2$ compact, obtained using the Riemannian structure of $Sigma_1times Sigma_2$, and also shows how regularity theory on the mean curvature flow is simpler and more natural in pseudo-Riemannian setting then in the Riemannian one.

We show that under certain curvature conditions of the ambient space an entire Killing graph of constant mean curvature lying inside a slab must be a totally geodesic slice.
