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 $mathbb{R}^4$.
