New findings on $κ$-solutions with round cylinder as asymptotic shrinker.

The paper constructs ancient solutions to curvature flows in bounded and unbounded regions.

Ancient solutions of hypersurface flows in Euclidean spaces are constructed and analyzed.

Shrinkers are special solutions of mean curvature flow (MCF) that evolve by rescaling and model the singularities. While there are infinitely many in each dimension, [CM1] showed that the only generic are round cylinders $\SS^k\times \RR^{n-k}$. We prove here that round cylinders are rigid in a very strong sense. Namel…

Round cylinders are rigid in Ricci shrinkers close to the standard product.

New method proves inequalities for self-shrinkers using perturbation.

In this short article, we prove the existence of ancient solutions of the mean curvature flow that for t -> 0 collapse to a round point, but for t -> -infinity become more and more oval: near the center they have asymptotic shrinkers modeled on round cylinders S^j x R^n-j and near the tips they have asymptotic translat…

Low entropy hypersurfaces in 4D are isotopic to a sphere.

The study identifies surfaces with Maslovian normal bundles.

We confirm a well-known conjecture that the round sphere is the only compact, embedded self-similar shrinking solution to the mean curvature flow with genus $0$. More generally, we show that the only properly embedded self-similar shrinkers in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with vanishing intersection form are the sphere, the cylinder…

We introduce the moduli space of spectral curves of constant mean curvature (\cmc\hspace{-5pt}) cylinders of finite type in the round unit 3-sphere. The subset of spectral curves of mean-convex Alexandrov embedded cylinders is explicitly determined using a combination of integrable systems and geometric analysis techni…

The paper examines the stability of Killing cylinders in hyperbolic space.

In this paper, we study self-expanding solutions to a large class of parabolic inverse curvature flows by homogeneous symmetric functions of principal curvatures in Euclidean spaces. These flows include the inverse mean curvature flow and many nonlinear flows in the literature. We first show that the only compact self-…

The study finds infinite non-embedded surfaces with constant length second fundamental forms.

We show that each end of a noncompact self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of finite topology is smoothly asymptotic to either a regular cone or a self-shrinking round cylinder.

The study pinches the rigidity of self-shrinking surfaces in mean curvature flow.

We establish a connection between capillary floating in neutral equilibrium and the billiard ball problem. This allows us to reduce the question of floating in neutral equilibrium at any orientation with a prescribed contact angle for infinite homogeneous cylinders to a question about billiard caustics for their orthog…

Self-shrinkers model singularities of the mean curvature flow; they are defined as the special solutions that contract homothetically under the flow. Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi showed that cylindrical self-shrinkers are rigid in a strong sense - that is, any self-shrinker that is mean convex with uniformly bounded curva…

We use a weak mean curvature flow together with a surgery procedure to show that all closed hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with entropy less than or equal to that of $\mathbb{S}^2\times \mathbb{R}$, the round cylinder in $\mathbb{R}^4$, are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{S}^3$.

The paper mainly concerns the structure at infinity for complete gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. It is shown that for such a soliton with bounded curvature, if the round cylinder $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{S}^{n-1}/Γ$ occurs as a limit for a sequence of points going to infinity along an end, then the end is asymptoti…

Ancient solutions to Ricci flow in higher dimensions are mostly cylinders or solitons.

Center manifold analysis can be used in order to investigate the stability of the stationary solutions of various PDEs. This can be done by considering the PDE as an ODE between certain Banach spaces and linearising about the stationary solution. Here we investigate the volume preserving mean curvature flow using such …

Self-shrinkers are the special solutions of mean curvature flow in $\mathbf{R}^{n+1}$ that evolve by shrinking homothetically; they serve as singularity models for the flow. The entropy of a hypersurface introduced by Colding-Minicozzi is a Lyapunov functional for the mean curvature flow, and is fundamental to their th…

Researchers create a family of solitons connecting a cigar to a sphere.

In this paper we present a new family of non-compact properly embedded, self-shrinking, asymptotically conical, positive mean curvature ends $Σ^n\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that are hypersurfaces of revolution with circular boundaries. These hypersurface families interpolate between the plane and half-cylinder in $\math…

A submanifold is said to be tangentially biharmonic if the bitension field of the isometric immersion that defines the submanifold has vanishing tangential component. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a surface in Euclidean $3$-space has tangentially biharmonic normal bundle if and only if it is either minimal…

Proves a Minkowski inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces in warped cylinders.

In this paper we generalize the neck-stability theorem of Kleiner-Lott to a special class of four-dimensional nonnegatively curved Type I $κ$-solutions, namely, those whose asymptotic shrinkers are the standard cylinder $\mathbb{S}^3\times\mathbb{R}$. We use this stability result to prove a rigidity theorem: if a four-…

$\mathcal{H}-$holomorphic curves are solutions of a specific modification of the pseudoholomorphic curve equation in symplectizations involving a harmonic $1-$form as perturbation term. In this paper we study the asymptotics of $\mathcal{H}-$holomorphic curves defined on a sequence of degenerating cylinders.

In this paper, we firstly verify that if $M$ is a complete self-shrinker with polynomial volume growth in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, and if the squared norm of the second fundamental form of $M$ satisfies $0\leq|A|^2-1\leq\frac{1}{18}$, then $|A|^2\equiv1$ and $M$ is a round sphere or a cylinder. More generally, let $M$ be a …

We prove that a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian tensor is rigid. For the $4$-dimensional case, we show that any gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian tensor is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of the Gaussian shrinking soliton $\…
