Mean Curvature Flows of Lagrangian Submanifolds with Convex Potentials

چکیده
This article studies the mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, we prove the following global existence and convergence theorem: if the potential function of a Lagrangian graph in T 2n is convex, then the flow exists for all time and converges smoothly to a flat Lagrangian submanifold.

Maslov Class Rigidity for Lagrangian Submanifolds via Hofer’s Geometry
In this work, we establish new rigidity results for the Maslov class of Lagrangian submanifolds in large classes of closed and convex symplectic manifolds. Our main result establishes upper bounds for the minimal Maslov number of displaceable Lagrangian submanifolds which are product manifolds whose factors each admit a metric of negative sectional curvature. Such Lagrangian submanifolds exist ...
متن کاملGauss Maps of the Mean Curvature Flow
Let F : Σ n × [0, T) → R n+m be a family of compact immersed submanifolds moving by their mean curvature vectors. We show the Gauss maps γ : (Σ n , g t) → G(n, m) form a harmonic heat flow with respect to the time-dependent induced metric g t. This provides a more systematic approach to investigating higher codimension mean curvature flows. A direct consequence is any convex function on G(n, m)...

متن کاملRICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM
Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...
