Abstract

For each integer K2K\geq2 when n4n\geq4, and for K=2,3,4K=2,3,4 when n=3n=3, we construct an almost-calibrated Lagrangian mean curvature flow LK(t)L_K(t) in Cn\mathbb{C}^{n}, starting from initial data arbitrarily close to being special Lagrangian, which develops a finite-time Type II singularity at time TT with the explicit curvature blow up rate supLK(t)ALK(t)(Tt)K/2as tT. \sup_{L_{K}(t)} |\mathbf{A}_{L_{K}(t)}| \sim (T-t)^{-K/2} \qquad \text{as } t\nearrow T . The tangent flow at the singularity is a transverse pair of cohomogeneity-one special Lagrangian cones, while the Type II blow-up limit is a smooth cohomogeneity-one special Lagrangian desingularization. This gives a quantitative construction of Type II blow-up for a fully nonlinear parabolic PDE arising from cohomogeneity-one Lagrangian mean curvature flow. Our construction is based on a modulation analysis around a shrinking family of cohomogeneity-one special Lagrangian desingularizations, using the perturbative spectral theory developed in the companion paper.
