Hamiltonian stationary shrinkers and expanders for Lagrangian mean curvature flows (Q1036196): Difference between revisions

The authors construct examples of shrinkers and expanders for Lagrangian mean curvature flows. These examples are Hamiltonian stationary and asymptotic to the union of two Hamiltonian stationary cones found by Schoen and Wolfson. The Schoen-Wolfson cones \(C_{p,q}\) are obstructions to the existence of special Lagrangians or Lagrangian minimal surfaces in the variational approach. It was known that these cone singularities cannot be resolved by any smooth oriented Lagrangian submanifolds. The shrinkers and expanders in this paper can be glued together to yield solutions of the Brakke motion -- a weak formulation of the mean curvature flow. For any coprime pair \((p,q)\) with \(p>q>1\), a solution is constructed that resolves one single Schoen-Wolfson cone \(C_{p,q}\). Note that \(C_{p,q}\) is stable only if \(p-q=1\). It provides an evidence to the Schoen-Wolfson's conjecture that the \((2.1)\) cone is the only area-minimizing cone. Higher dimensional generalizations are also obtained.
