Uniqueness of grim hyperplanes for mean curvature flows

Differential Geometry 2016-09-29 v1

Abstract

In this paper we show that an immersed nontrivial translating soliton for mean curvature flow in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}(n=2,3)n=2,3) is a grim hyperplane if and only if it is mean convex and has weighted total extrinsic curvature of at most quadratic growth. For an embedded translating soliton Σ\Sigma with nonnegative scalar curvature, we prove that if the mean curvature of Σ\Sigma does not change signs on each end, then Σ\Sigma must have positive scalar curvature unless it is either a hyperplane or a grim hyperplane.
