Classification of ancient flows by sub-affine-critical powers of curvature in \mathbb{R}^2

Publication date 3 December 2020

Curves in Euclidean and related spaces (53A04)

Abstract: We classify closed convex

a l p h a

-curve shortening flows for sub-affine-critical powers

a l p h a l e q f r a c 13

. In addition, we show that closed convex smooth finite entropy

a l p h a

-curve shortening flows with

f r a c 13 < a l p h a

is a shrinking circle. After normalization, the ancient flows satisfying the above conditions converge exponentially fast to smooth closed convex shrinkers at the backward infinity. In particular, when

a l p h a = f r a c 1 k^{2} - 1

with

3 l e q k i n m a t h b b N

, the round circle shrinker has non-trivial Jacobi fields, but the ancient flows do not evolve along the Jacobi fields.
