Uniqueness of blowups for forced mean curvature flow

Abstract

We prove uniqueness of tangent cones for forced mean curvature flow, at both closed self-shrinkers and round cylindrical self-shrinkers, in any codimension. The corresponding results for mean curvature flow in Euclidean space were proven by Schulze and Colding-Minicozzi respectively. We adapt their methods to handle the presence of the forcing term, which vanishes in the blow-up limit but complicates the analysis along the rescaled flow. Our results naturally include the case of mean curvature flows in Riemannian manifolds.
