Abstract

We prove that every entire self-shrinking solution on to the Kähler-Ricci flow with strictly real convex potential must be quadratic. The very same argument also gives a pointwise proof for the rigidity of entire self-shrinking solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow in pseudo-Euclidean space obtained by Q. Ding and Y.L. Xin. Furthermore, we show that our argument works for a larger class of equations.

Ricci flow Hamilton's Ricci flow evolves a Riemannian metric by minus twice its Ricci curvature. It is a nonlinear heat equation for geometry: it spreads… Start with: Three-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature (Hamilton, 1982) Kähler–Ricci flow Ricci flow started from a Kähler metric stays Kähler and reduces to a single scalar equation, a parabolic complex Monge–Ampère equation. Start with: Deformation of Kähler matrics to Kähler-Einstein metrics on compact Kähler manifolds (Cao, 1985) Mean curvature flow Wider flows A hypersurface moves in the direction of its mean curvature vector, which decreases area as fast as possible in the L² sense. Start with: Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres (Huisken, 1984) Lagrangian mean curvature flow Wider flows In a Calabi–Yau manifold, mean curvature flow keeps Lagrangian submanifolds Lagrangian. Its hoped-for limits are special Lagrangians, the volume… Start with: A canonical way to deform a Lagrangian submanifold (Smoczyk, 1996)
