Type-II singularities of two-convex immersed mean curvature flow

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that any strictly mean convex translator of dimension n≥3n\geq 3 which admits a cylindrical estimate and a corresponding gradient estimate is rotationally symmetric. As a consequence, we deduce that any translating solution of the mean curvature flow which arises as a blow-up limit of a two-convex mean curvature flow of compact immersed hypersurfaces of dimension n≥3n\geq 3 is rotationally symmetric. The proof is rather robust, and applies to a more general class of translator equations. As a particular application, we prove an analogous result for a class of flows of embedded hypersurfaces which includes the flow of two-convex hypersurfaces by the two-harmonic mean curvature.
