Abstract

Suppose (Mti)t[0,T)(M^i_t)_{t\in [0,T)}, i=1,2i=1,2, are two mean curvature flows in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} encountering a multiplicity one compact singularity at time TT, in such a manner that for every kk, the Hausdorff distance between the two flows, dHd_H, satisfies dH(Mt1,Mt2)/(Tt)k0d_{H}(M^1_t,M^2_t)/(T-t)^k \rightarrow 0. We demonstrate that Mt1=Mt2M^1_t=M^2_t for every tt. This generalizes a result of Martin-Hagemayer and Sesum, who proved the case where Mt1M^1_t is itself a self-similarly shrinking flow.
