Convex Solutions to the Power-of-mean Curvature

speaker: Shibing Chen (University of Toronto)

abstract: We prove some estimates for convex ancient solutions (the existence time for the solution starts from \(-\infty\)) to the power-of-mean curvature flow, when the power is strictly greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\). As an application, we prove that in two dimension, the blow-down of the entire convex translating solution, namely \(u_{h}=\frac{1}{h}u(h^{\frac{1}{1+\alpha}}x)\) locally uniformly converges to \(\frac{1}{1+\alpha}
x
^{1+\alpha}\) as \(h\rightarrow\infty\). Another application is that for generalized curve shortening flow (convex curve evolving in its normal direction with speed equal to a power of its curvature), if the convex compact ancient solution sweeps the whole space \(\textbf{R}^{2}\), it must be a shrinking circle. Otherwise the solution must be defined in a strip region.
