Abstract

In this paper, we prove that a smooth, properly embedded ancient mean curvature flow that is asymptotic to O(n)×O(n)O(n)\times O(n) symmetric Simons cone for n5n \geq 5, and lies on one side of the cone has to have a unique asymptotics in the parabolic region. When additionally assuming mean convexity, we upgrade unique asymptotics to full uniqueness, and show that such flow has to be a stationary flow given by one of the leaves of the Hardt-Simon foliation.
