Dynamics of closed singularities
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Parabolic geometric flows have the property of smoothing for short time however, over long time, singularities are typically unavoidable, can be very nasty and may be impossible to classify. The idea of this paper is that, by bringing in the dynamical properties of the flow, we obtain also smoothing for long time for generic initial conditions. When combined with our earlier paper this allows us to show that, in an important special case, the singularities are the simplest possible. We take here the first steps towards understanding the dynamics of the flow. The question of the dynamics of a singularity has two parts. One is: What are the dynamics near a singularity? The second is: What is the long time behavior of the flow of things close to the singularity. That is, if the flow leaves a neighborhood of a singularity, is it possible for the flow to re-enter the same neighborhood at a much later time? The first part is addressed in this paper, while the second will be addressed elsewhere.
This article is concerned with the geometric parabolic flows. The authors' approach relies on the study of dynamical properties of the flow which also yields the smoothing for the generic initial conditions. A one parameter family \(\{M_t\}\) is is said to be a shrinker if \(M_t=\sqrt{-t} M_{-1}\). The authors analyze the behavior of the rescaled flow in a neighborhood of a closed unstable shrinker. It is obtained that nearly all hypersurfaces in a neighborhood of the unstable shrinkers leaves the neighborhood, even after accounting for translations and dilations.
