In this paper, we study the Lagrangian F-stability of closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers immersed in complex Euclidean space. We show that any closed Lagrangian self-shrinker with first Betti number greater than one is Lagrangian F-unstable. In particular, any two-dimensional embedded closed Lagrangian self-shrinker is L…

In this paper, we obtain several new characterizations of the Clifford torus as a Lagrangian self-shrinker. We first show that the Clifford torus $\mathbb{S}^1(1)\times\mathbb{S}^1(1)$ is the unique compact orientable Lagrangian self-shrinker in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with $|A|^2\leq 2$, which gives an affirmative answer to Ca…

We provide several rigidity results for the Clifford torus in the class of compact self-shrinkers for Lagrangian mean curvature flow.

In this paper, we study the Lagrangian F-stability and Hamiltonian F-stability of Lagrangian self-shrinkers. We prove a characterization theorem for the Hamiltonian F-stability of $n$-dimensional complete Lagrangian self-shrinkers without boundary, with polynomial volume growth and with the second fundamental form sati…

In this paper, we give a lower bound estimate for the diameter of a Lagrangian self-shrinker in a gradient shrinking Kähler-Ricci soliton as an analog of a result of A. Futaki, H. Li and X.-D. Li for a self-shrinker in a Euclidean space. We also prove an analog of a result of H.-D. Cao and H. Li about the non-existence…

In this paper, we generalize Colding and Minicozzi's work \cite{CM} on the stability of self-shrinkers in the hypersurface case to higher co-dimensional cases. The first and second variation formulae of the $F$-functional are derived and an equivalent condition to the stability in general codimension is found. Moreover…

In this paper, we discuss the Lagrangian angle and the Kähler angle of immersed surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$. Firstly, we provide an extension of Lagrangian angle, Maslov form and Maslov class to more general surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ than Lagrangian surfaces, and then naturally extend a theorem by J.-M. Morvan to surface…

Let $F_n :(Σ, h_n) \to \mathbb C^2$ be a sequence of conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinkers with a uniform area upper bound to the mean curvature flow, and suppose that the sequence of metrics $\{h_n\}$ converges smoothly to a Riemannian metric $h$. We show that a subsequence of $\{F_n\}$ converges smoothly to …

In [LW], we construct examples of two-dimensional Hamiltonian stationary self-shrinkers and self-expanders for Lagrangian mean curvature flows, which are asymptotic to the union of two Schoen-Wolfson cones. These self-shrinkers and self-expanders can be glued together to yield solutions of the Brakke flow - a weak form…

In this paper, we construct various examples of Lagrangian mean curvature flows in Calabi-Yau manifolds, using moment maps for actions of abelian Lie groups on them. The examples include Lagrangian self-shrinkers and translating solitons in the Euclidean spaces. Moreover, our method can be applied to construct examples…

We construct some examples of special Lagrangian submanifolds and Lagrangian self-similar solutions in almost Calabi-Yau cones over toric Sasaki manifolds. For example, for any integer g>0, we can construct a real 6 dimensional Calabi-Yau cone M_g and a 3 dimensional special Lagrangian submanifold L^1_g in M_g which is…

By the integral method we prove that any space-like entire graphic self-shrinking solution to Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $\R^{2n}_{n}$ with the indefinite metric $\sum_i dx_idy_i$ is flat. This result improves the previous ones in \cite{HW} and \cite{CCY} by removing the additional assumption in their results. I…

We construct many self-similar and translating solitons for Lagrangian mean curvature flow, including self-expanders and translating solitons with arbitrarily small oscillation on the Lagrangian angle. Our translating solitons play the same role as cigar solitons in Ricci flow, and are important in studying the regular…

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of $ξ$-submanifold which is a natural generalization of self-shrinkers for the mean curvature flow and also an extension of $λ$-hypersurfaces to the higher codimension. Then, as the main result, we prove a rigidity theorem for Lagrangian $ξ$-submanifold in the complex $2$-p…

Using a maximum principle for self-shrinkers of the mean curvature flow, we give new proofs of a rigidity theorem for rotationally symmetric compact self-shrinkers and a result about the asymptotic behavior of self-shrinkers. This comparison argument also implies a linear bound for the second fundamental form of self-s…

Self-shrinkers are important geometric objects in the study of mean curvature flows, while the Bernstein Theorem is one of the most profound results in minimal surface theory. We prove a Bernstein type result for graphical self-shrinker surfaces with codimension two in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Namely, under certain natural cond…
