Uniqueness of grim hyperplanes for mean curvature flows (Q2407404)

In this paper, the authors study nontrivial translating solitons, that is, complete connected isometrically immersed hypersurfaces \((\Sigma,\Phi)\) in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) with mean curvature vector satisfying \(\vec{H}=w^\perp\), where \(w\in\mathbb R^{n+1}\) is a unitary vector and \(w^\perp\) stands for the orthogonal projection of \(w\) onto the normal bundle of \(\Phi\). The paper contains two main results. Theorem 1. Let \(\Phi:\Sigma\to\mathbb R^{n+1}\) be a translating soliton, with \(n=2\) or 3, which is not a hyperplane. Then \(\Sigma\) is a grim hyperplane if and only if \(H=-\langle w,\nu\rangle\geq0\) and there exists \(C>0\) such that \[ \int_{B_R}|A|^2e^{-f}\leq CR^2, \] for all \(R\) sufficiently large, where \(B_R\) is the geodesic ball of radius \(R\) and \(f(x)=-\langle x,w\rangle\). Recall that a grim hyperplane in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) is a hypersurface \(\mathcal G\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}\) which can be represented parametrically via the embedding \(\Phi:(-\frac{\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2)\times\mathbb R^{n-1}\to\mathbb R^{n+1}\) defined by \[ \Phi(t,y_1,\dots,y_{n-1})=(t,y_1,\dots,y_{n-1},-\ln(\cos t)). \] Theorem 2. Let \((\Sigma^n,g)\) be an embedded translating soliton with nonnegative scalar curvature \(S\). Assume \(H\) does not change signs on each end. Then either \(\Sigma\) is a hyperplane or a grim hyperplane; or \(\Sigma\) has positive scalar curvature.
