A nonexistence result for wing-like mean curvature flows in $\mathbb{R}^4$ (2105.13100v2)

Published 27 May 2021 in math.DG and math.AP

Abstract: Some of the most worrisome potential singularity models for the mean curvature flow of $3$-dimensional hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}4$ are noncollapsed wing-like flows, i.e. noncollapsed flows that are asymptotic to a wedge. In this paper, we rule out this potential scenario, not just among self-similarly translating singularity models, but in fact among all ancient noncollapsed flows in $\mathbb{R}4$. Specifically, we prove that for any ancient noncollapsed mean curvature flow $M_t=\partial K_t$ in $\mathbb{R}4$ the blowdown $\lim_{\lambda\to 0} \lambda\cdot {K_{t_0}}$ is always a point, halfline, line, halfplane, plane or hyperplane, but never a wedge. In our proof we introduce a fine bubble-sheet analysis, which generalizes the fine neck analysis that has played a major role in many papers. Our result is also a key first step towards the classification of ancient noncollapsed flows in $\mathbb{R}4$, which we will address in a series of subsequent papers.
