Flows related to mean curvature (53E10)

Abstract: Some worrisome potential singularity models for the mean curvature flow are rotating ancient flows, i.e. ancient flows whose tangent flow at $-infty$ is a cylinder $mathbb{R}^{k}imes{S}^{n-k}$ and that are rotating within the $mathbb{R}^k$-factor. We note that while the $mathbb{R}^k$-factor, i.e. the axis of the cylinder, is unique by the fundamental work of Colding-Minicozzi, the uniqueness of tangent flows by itself does not provide any information about rotations within the $mathbb{R}^k$-factor. In the present paper, we rule out rotating ancient flows among all ancient noncollapsed flows in $mathbb{R}^4$.

Review text

The paper shows that there are no rotating ancient noncollapsed flows \(M_t \in \mathbb{R}^4\). Here a non-collapsing flow is the flow moving inwards and there is a constant \(\alpha\) where, for each point \(p \in M_t\), there are interior and exterior balls of radius \(\geq \alpha/H(p)\) containing \(p\). In addition, the main result of the paper improves an existing result of the same authors (\textit{W. Du} and \textit{R. Haslhofer}, [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 77, No. 1, 543--582 (2024; Zbl 1530.35136)]) and with this result one has advantage that the fine-bubble sheet matrix is allowed to be taken independent of time i.e. the bubble-sheet function \(u\) fulfills \[ \lim_{\tau\to -\infty}\left \Vert |\tau|u(\mathbf{y},v,\tau)-\mathbf{y}^{\top}Q\mathbf{y}+2\text{tr}(Q) \right \Vert_{C^k(B_R)}=0, \quad \forall R < \infty, \quad \forall k\in \mathbb{Z}, \] where \(Q\) is a constant symmetric \(2\times2\)-matrix with eigenvalues are quantized to be \(0\) or \(-1/\sqrt{8}\).
