Abstract

In this paper, we will prove some rigidity theorems for blow up limits to Type II singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flow with zero Maslov class or almost calibrated Lagrangian mean curvature flows, especially for Lagrangian translating solitons in any dimension. These theorems generalized previous corresponding results from two dimensional case to arbitrarily dimensional case.

Mean curvature flow Wider flows A hypersurface moves in the direction of its mean curvature vector, which decreases area as fast as possible. 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) Self-shrinkers & translators Wider flows Self-similar solutions of mean curvature flow: shrinkers move by scaling, expanders by scaling outward, translators by sliding. Start with: Asymptotic behavior for singularities of the mean curvature flow (Huisken, 1990) Singularities On a closed manifold the flow usually cannot run forever: curvature blows up in finite time, often because a neck pinches off. Start with: The formations of singularities in the Ricci Flow (Hamilton, 1993)
