Uniqueness of tangent planes and (non-)removable singularities at infinity for collapsed translators (II)
Eddygledson Souza Gama Universidade Federal do Pernambuco
In the first lecture of this series, we show that mean curvature flow translators may exhibit non-removable singularities at infinity, due to jump discontinuities in their asymptotic profiles, and that oscillation can persist so as to yield a continuum of subsequential limit tangent planes. Nonetheless, we prove that as time $t\to\pm \infty$, any finite entropy, finite genus, embedded, collapsed translating soliton in $\mathbb{R}^3$ converges to a uniquely determined collection of planes. To show the essential necessity of the above line of reasoning and sharpness of the completeness assumption in the main theorems, we will construct counterexamples which are complete with boundary and for which the theorems fail: The nonlinear problem admits solutions, graphical over half-planes, with non-removable singularities at infinity in the sense that a \emph{continuum} of planes all occur as subsequential limits. This is a joint work with F. Martín and N.M Moller.
