Abstract: 

In this talk I will discuss a fractional analog to the classical mean curvature flow. Namely, we consider the evolution of surfaces with normal speed equal to the fractional mean curvature and analyze their behavior under suitable assumptions. I will discuss in more depth the evolution of graphical hypersurfaces, which is an important model in the local case.
