We show that (a) any entire graphic self-shrinking solution to the Lagrangian mean curvature flow in ${\mathbb C}^{m}$ with the Euclidean metric is flat; (b) any space-like entire graphic self-shrinking solution to the Lagrangian mean curvature flow in ${\mathbb C}^{m}$ with the pseudo-Euclidean metric is flat if the Hessian of the potential is bounded below quadratically; and (c) the Hermitian counterpart of (b) for the Kähler Ricci flow.
In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some rigidity results for non-compact gradient expanding and shrinking Ricci solitons with pinched Ricci and scalar curvatures, assuming an asymptotic condition on the scalar curvature at infinity.
Let $(M, g, f)$ be a $4$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+\nabla^2f=λg$, where $λ$ is a positive real number. We prove that if $M$ has constant scalar curvature $S=2λ$, it must be a quotient of $\mathbb{S}^2\times \mathbb{R}^2$. Together with the known results, this implies that a $4$-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has constant scalar curvature if and only if it is rigid, that is, it is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of Gaussian shrinking soliton $\Bbb{R}^4$, $\Bbb{S}^{2}\times\Bbb{R}^{2}$ or $\Bbb{S}^{3}\time…

We show that $S^2\times S^2$ is isolated as a shrinking Ricci soliton in the space of metrics, up to scaling and diffeomorphism. We also prove the same rigidity for $S^2\times N$, where $N$ belongs to a certain class of closed Einstein manifolds. These results are the Ricci flow analogues of our results for Clifford-type shrinking solitons for the mean curvature flow.

This paper studies rigidity for immersed self-shrinkers of the mean curvature flow of surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3.$ We prove that an immersed self-shrinker with finite $L$-index must be proper and of finite topology. As one of consequences, there is no stable two-dimensional self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^3$ without assuming properness. We conclude the paper by giving an affirmative answer to a question of Mantegazza.
We show that the product of two round shrinking spheres is an isolated self-shrinker in any codimension, modulo rotations. Moreover we prove explicit Łojasiewicz inequalities near such products. Łojasiewicz inequalities were previously used by Schulze to prove uniqueness of tangent mean curvature flows at compact shrinkers; our results provide an explicit rate of convergence to products of two spheres.
In this paper we introduce the notion of rigidity for harmonic-Ricci solitons and we provide some characterizations of rigidity, generalizing some known results for Ricci solitons. In the compact case we are able to deal with not necessarily gradient solitons while, in the complete non-compact case, we restrict our attention to steady and shrinking gradient solitons. We show that the rigidity can be traced back to the vanishing of certain modified curvature tensors that take into account the geometry a Riemannian manifold equipped with a smooth map $φ$, called $φ$-curvatures, which are a natur…
Rigidity and Curvature Estimates for Graphical Self-shrinkers
自收缩器是在中曲率流动下相似收缩的超曲面;这些孤子模拟了流动的奇异性。目前已知一个整自缩图必是一个超平面。在本文中,我们表明,超平面是刚性的,在更强的意义上,即:对于$2 \leq n \leq 6$,任何光滑,完整的自收缩$Σ^n\subset\mathbf{R}^{n+1}$,这是图形内的一个大的,但紧凑的,必须是一个超平面。事实上,这种刚性存在于更大的一类几乎稳定的自收缩体中。本文的一个关键组成部分是采购的线性曲率估计几乎稳定的收缩,这是负责对$n$的限制这一步。我们的方法也产生一致的曲率界的平移孤子的中曲率流。
In this paper, we firstly prove that every hyper-Lagrangian submanifold $L^{2n} (n > 1)$ in a hyperkähler $4n$-manifold is a complex Lagrangian submanifold. Secondly, we demonstrate an optimal rigidity theorem with the condition on the complex phase map of self-shrinking surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Last but not least, by using the previous rigidity result, we show that the mean curvature flow from a closed surface with the image of the complex phase map contained in $\mathbb{S}^2\setminus\overline{\mathbb{S}}^{1}_{+}$ in a hyperkähler $4$-manifold does not develop any Type \Rmn{1} singularity.
This survey describes some recent rigidity results obtained by the authors for the prescribed mean curvature problem on graphs $u : M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Emphasis is put on minimal, CMC and capillary graphs, as well as on graphical solitons for the mean curvature flow, in warped product ambient spaces. A detailed analysis of the mean curvature operator is given, focusing on maximum principles at infinity, Liouville properties, gradient estimates. Among the geometric applications, we mention the Bernstein theorem for positive entire minimal graphs on manifolds with non-negative Ricci curva…
In this paper, we study the rigidity results of complete graphical translating hypersurfaces when the translating direction is not in the graphical direction. We proved that any entire graphical translating surface in the translating direction not parallel to the graphical one is flat if either the translating surface is mean convex or the entropy of the translating surface is smaller than $2$. For higher dimensional case, we show that the same conclusion holds if the graphical translating hypersurface satisfies certain growth condition.
