Abstract: We prove a complete family of `cylindrical estimates' for solutions of a class of fully non-linear curvature flows, generalising the cylindrical estimate of Huisken-Sinestrari for the mean curvature flow. More precisely, we show that, for the class of flows considered, an $(m+1)$-convex ($0leqmleqn-2$) solution becomes either strictly $m$-convex, or its Weingarten map approaches that of a cylinder $R^{m}imes{S}^{n-m}$ at points where the curvature is becoming large. This result complements the convexity estimate proved by the authors and McCoy for the same class of flows.

Review text

The authors prove a complete family of cylindrical estimates for solutions of a class of fully nonlinear curvature flows which generalize the cylindrical estimate of \textit{G. Huisken} and \textit{C. Sinestrari} [Invent. Math. 175, No. 1, 137--221 (2009; Zbl 1170.53042)] for the mean curvature flow. More precisely they show that for the class of flows considered, at points where the curvature is becoming large, an \((m+1)\)-convex (\(0\leq m\leq n-2\)) solution either becomes strictly \(m\)-convex or its Weingarten map becomes that of a cylinder \(\mathbb{R}^m\times S^{n-m}\). This result complements the convexity estimate they proved with McCoy before for the same class of flows.
