Local gap theorem for Ricci shrinkers ensures flatness if certain functionals are close to zero.

The paper proves lower bounds for Gaussian-weighted curvature integrals of self-shrinkers.

In this note we will prove that an $n$ dimensional graphic self-shrinker in $R^{n+m}$ with flat normal bundle is a linear subspace. This result is a generalization of the corresponding result of Lu Wang in codimension one case.

In dimension $4$, we show that a nontrivial flat cone cannot be approximated by smooth Ricci shrinkers with bounded scalar curvature and Harnack inequality, under the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff topology. As applications, we obtain uniform positive lower bounds of scalar curvature and potential functions on Ricci shrinker…

Strong Frankel theorem for shrinkers in all dimensions.

For any asymptotically conical self-shrinker with entropy less than or equal to that of a cylinder we show that the link of the asymptotic cone must separate the unit sphere into exactly two connected components, both diffeomorphic to the self-shrinker. Combining this with recent work of Brendle, we conclude that the r…

The paper connects Kähler-Ricci shrinkers to Fano fibrations in algebraic geometry.

We construct Gaussian Harmonic forms of finite Gaussian weighted $L^2$-norm on non-compact surfaces that detect each asymptotically conical end. As an application we prove an extension of the index estimates of self-shrinkers in $[11]$ under the existence of such ends. We show that the Morse index of a self-shrinker is…

Paper estimates Wasserstein distance for Ricci shrinkers.

We consider the volume-normalized Ricci flow close to compact shrinking Ricci solitons. We show that if a compact Ricci soliton $(M,g)$ is a local maximum of Perelman's shrinker entropy, any normalized Ricci flow starting close to it exists for all time and converges towards a Ricci soliton. If $g$ is not a local maxim…

In this paper, we prove that the mean curvature blows up at the same rate as the second fundamental form at the first singular time $T$ of any compact, Type I mean curvature flow. For the mean curvature flow of surfaces, we obtain similar result provided that the Gaussian density is less than two. Our proofs are based …

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…

In this article, we thoroughly investigate the stability inequality for Ricci-flat cones. Perhaps most importantly, we prove that the Ricci-flat cone over CP^2 is stable, showing that the first stable non-flat Ricci-flat cone occurs in the smallest possible dimension. On the other hand, we prove that many other example…

We show, for mean curvature flows in Euclidean space, that if one of the tangent flows at a given space-time point consists of a closed, multiplicity-one, smoothly embedded self-similar shrinker, then it is the unique tangent flow at that point. That is the limit of the parabolic rescalings does not depend on the chose…

Let $(\bar{M},<,>,e^ψ)$ be a Riemannian manifold with a density, and let $M$ be a closed $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\bar{M}$ with the induced metric and density. We give an upper bound on the first eigenvalue $λ_1$ of the closed eigenvalue problem for $Δ_ψ$ (the Laplacian on $M$ associated to the density) in terms…

The paper proves bounded curvature for Kähler Ricci shrinker surfaces.

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 consider 2-dimensional orientable self-shrinkers $Σ$ for the Mean Curvature Flow of polynomial volume growth immersed in $\mathbb R^n$. We look at closed one forms minimizing the norm $\int_Σ\eterm |ω|^2$ in their cohomology class. Any closed form satisfying the Euler-Lagrange equation for this minimization will be …

Generalizes halfspace theorems to higher dimensions for self-shrinkers.

The paper proves rigidity and ε-regularity theorems for Ricci shrinkers.

Regular shrinkers describe blow-up limits of a finite-time singularity of the motion by curvature of planar network of curves. This follows from Huisken's monotonicity formula. In this paper, we show that there is only one regular shrinker with 2 closed regions. This regular shrinker is the Cisgeminate eye. Moreover, w…

Uniqueness of Kähler Ricci shrinkers proven on toric orbifolds.

We investigate Mean Curvature Flow self-shrinking hypersurfaces with polynomial growth. It is known that such self shrinkers are unstable. We focus mostly on self-shrinkers of the form $\mathbb S^k\times\R^{n-k}\subset \R^{n+1}$. We use a connection between the stability operator and the quantum harmonic oscillator Ham…

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…

Paper proves finite Morse index for certain self-shrinkers.

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 study curvature behavior at the first singular time of solution to the Ricci flow on a smooth, compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij}$ for $t\in [0,T)$. If the flow has uniformly bounded scalar curvature and develops Type I singularities at $T$, us…
