We prove interior gradient estimate and second order estimate for the $Q_k$-flow and $Q_k$-translators in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. In addition, we show that $Q_k$-translator which are asymptotic to $o(|x|)$ cannot exist.
In this paper, we prove that the infimum of the mean curvature is zero for a translating solitons of hypersurface in $\re^{n+k}$. We give some conditions under which a complete hypersurface translating soliton is stable. We show that if the norm of its mean curvature is less than one, then the weighted volume may have exponent growth. We also study the Dirichlet problem for graphic translating solitons in higher codimensions.
We study new examples of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow, especially in Minkowski space. We consider for this purpose manifolds admitting submersions and cohomegeneity one actions by isometries on suitable open subsets. This general setting also covers the classical Euclidean examples. As an application, we completely classify timelike, invariant translating solitons by rotations and boosts in Minkowski space.
We address the asymptotic behavior of the $α$-Gauss curvature flow, for $α>1/2$, with initial data a complete non-compact convex hypersurface which is contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. We show that the flow converges, as $t \to +\infty$, locally smoothly to a translating soliton which is uniquely determined by the asymptotic cylinder of the initial hypersurface.
In this paper we prove that two-dimensional translating solitons in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite $L$-index are homeomorphic to a plane or a cylinder and that a two-dimensional self-expander with finite $L$-index and sub exponential weighted volume growth has finite topology. We also prove that translating solitons and self-expanders have finite topology, provided the bottom of the spectrum of the $L$-stability operator is bounded from below and their weighted volume have subexponential growth.
We obtain a rigidity result of symplectic translating solitons via the complex phase map. It indicates that we can remove the bounded second fundamental form assumption for symplectic translating solitons in [13].
The main result of this paper is a convexity estimate for translating solitons of extrinsic geometric flows which evolve under a $1$-homogeneous concave function in the principal curvatures. In addition, we show examples of these hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for particular functions.
We construct Lagrangian translating solitons by desingularizing the intersection points between Lagrangian Grim Reaper cylinders with the same phase using special Lagrangian Lawlor necks. The resulting Lagrangian translating solitons could have arbitrarily many ends and non-contractible loops.
We study translating soliton solutions to the flow by powers of the curvature of curves in the plane. We characterize these solitons as critical curves for functionals depending on the curvature. More precisely, translating solitons to the flow by powers of the curvature are shown to be generalized elastic curves. In particular, focusing on the curve shortening flow, we deduce a new variational characterization of the grim reaper curve.
We prove that any complete immersed globally orientable uniformly 2-convex translating soliton $Σ\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for the mean curvature flow is locally strictly convex. It follows that a uniformly 2-convex entire graphical translating soliton in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1},\, n\geq 3 $ is the axisymmetric "bowl soliton".
We characterize all ruled translating solitons in Minkowski 3-space. In contrast to the Euclidean space, we find ruled translating solitons that are not cylindrical. These surfaces appear when the vector field that defines the rulings, viewed as a curve, is a lightlike straight line. We also classify all cylindrical translating solitons, obtaining surfaces that can be considered as analogous to the grim reapers of Euclidean space, but also other surfaces which have no a counterpart in the Euclidean space.
We prove that if a translating soliton can be expressed as the sum of two curves and one of these curves is planar, then the other curve is also planar and consequently the surface must be a plane or a grim reaper. We also investigate translating solitons that can be locally written as the product of two functions of one variable. We extend the results in Lorentz-Minkowski space.
In this paper, we prove that the translating solitons of the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^4$ which arise as blow up limit of embedded, mean convex mean curvature flow must have $SO(2)$ symmetry.
In this paper we provide a Weierstrass representation formula for translating solitons and singular minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}^3}$. As application we study when the euclidean Gauss map has a harmonic argument and solve a general Cauchy problem in this class of surfaces.
We consider translating solitons to flows by positive powers $α$ of the Gaussian curvature -- called $K^α$-flows -- in Riemannian products $M\times\mathbb R.$ We prove that, when $M$ is the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n,$ the sphere $\mathbb S^n,$ or one of the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb F}^m,$ there exist complete rotational translating solitons to $K^α$-flow in $M\times\mathbb R$ for certain values of $α.$
The purpose of these notes is to provide an introduction to those who want to learn more about translating solitons for the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$, particularly those which are complete graphs over domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$. In this paper we describe a full classification of complete translating graphs in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
In this paper, we generalize a previous result to higher dimension. We prove that uniformly 3-convex translating solitons of mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which arise as blow up limit of embedded, mean convex mean curvature flow must have $SO(n-1)$ symmetry.
Given a unit vector $\textbf{v}\in\mathbb{R}^3$ and $λ\in\mathbb{R}$, a translating $λ$-soliton is a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies $H=\langle N,\textbf{v}\rangle+λ,\ |\textbf{v}|=1$, where $N$ is the Gauss map of the surface. In this paper, we extend the phenomenon of instability of Plateau-Rayleigh for translating $λ$-solitons of cylindrical type, proving that long pieces of these surfaces are unstable. We will provide explicit bounds on the length of these surfaces. It will be also proved that if a translating $λ$-soliton is a graph, then it is a minimizer of t…
In this paper, we consider a translating soliton for the inverse mean curvature flow given as a graph of a function on a domain in a unit sphere whose level sets give isoparametric foliation. First, we show that such function is given as a composition of an isoparametric function on the unit sphere and a function which is given as a solution of a certain ordinary differential equation. Further, we analyze the shape of the graphs of the solutions of the ordinary differential equation. This analysis leads to the classification of the shape of such translating solitons for the inverse mean curvat…
We deal with solitons of the mean curvature flow. The definition of \textit{translating solitons on a light-like direction} in Minkowski 3-space is introduced. Firstly, we classify those which are graphical, \textit{translation surfaces}, obtaining space-like and time-like, entire and not entire, complete and incomplete examples. Among them, all our time-like examples are incomplete. The second family consists of those which are invariant by a 1-dimensional subgroup of parabolic motions, i.e, with light-like axis. The classification result implies that all examples of this second family have s…
