Classification of Lagrangian translators and Lagrangian self-expanders in \(\mathbb{C}^2 \) (Q6979977)

An immersed submanifold \(x\colon M^n\to\mathbb{R}^{n+k}\) is called a translating soliton of the mean curvature flow if there is a constant non-zero vector \(T\) such that the equation \[H(p)+T^\perp(p)=0\] holds on \(x(M^n)\), where \(H(p)\) denotes the mean curvature vector and \(T^\perp\) the normal part (depending on \(p\)) of \(T\). A Legendrian translator in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) is a translating soliton which is a Lagrangian submanifold.\N\NThis paper classifies 2-dimensional Lagrangian translators with constant \(\vert H\vert^2\) in \(\mathbb{C}^2\) under the assumption that the squared norm of the second fundamental form is bounded. Namely it proves that they must be real planes. The same result (with the same assumptions) is also proved for Lagrangian self-expanders.\N\NMore generally, an immersion is called a \(\xi\)-translator if \(\xi=H+T^\perp\) is normal to \(x(M^n)\). The authors prove that a Lagrangian \(\xi\)-translator with the same assumptions as above is a plane or a cylinder.\N\NThe proof uses the Omori-Yau-type maximum principle due to \textit{Q. Chen} and \textit{H. Qiu} [Adv. Math. 294, 517--531 (2016; Zbl 1336.53074)].
