Abstract

We construct a new compact convex embedded ancient solution of the κα\kappa^\alpha flow in R2\mathbb R^2, α(12,1)\alpha\in(\frac12,1) that lies between two parallel lines. Using this solution we classify all convex ancient solutions of the κα\kappa^\alpha flow in R2\mathbb R^2, for α(23,1)\alpha\in(\frac23,1). Moreover, we show that any non-compact convex embedded ancient solution of the κα\kappa^\alpha flow in R2\mathbb R^2, α(12,1)\alpha\in(\frac12,1) must be a translating solution.

Removed some unnecessary complications in the non-compact case and added details to some proofs
