Asymptotic behavior and stability of mean curvature flow with a conical end (Q2213788)

A family of smoothly embedded hypersurfaces \((\Sigma_{t})_{0\leq t\leq T}\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) moves by mean curvature flow (MCF) if \[\partial_{t}X=\overrightarrow{H}_{\Sigma_{t}},\] where \(X\) is the position vector and \(\overrightarrow{H}_{\Sigma_{t}}\) is the mean curvature vector of \(\Sigma_{t}\). As a geometric flow, MCF describes the behavior of \(\Sigma_t\) that evolves over time \(t\). The asymptotic behavior of these geometric flow has sparked a great deal of interest in the mathematical community. From [\textit{K. Ecker} and \textit{G. Huisken}, Ann. Math. (2) 130, No. 3, 453--471 (1989; Zbl 0696.53036)] and [\textit{N. Stavrou}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 499, 189--198 (1998; Zbl 0895.53039)], if a MCF starts with a Lipschitz graph which is asymptotic to a regular cone at infinity, then it is smooth at all later times and will become asymptotically self-expanding. In the paper under review, the same result is shown under the assumption that the initial hypersurface \(\Sigma_{0}\) of an immortal mean curvature flow is asymptotic to a regular cone whose entropy is small. Furthermore, the author shows that the limiting flow gives rise to an asymptotically stable expander equilibrium solution of the normalized mean curvature flow.
