- Abstract
- It is a fundamental open problem for the mean curvature flow, and in fact for many partial differential equations, whether or not all blowup limits are self-similar. In this short note, we prove that for the mean curvature flow of mean convex surfaces all limit flows are self-similar (static, shrinking, or translating) if and only if there are only finitely many spherical singularities. More generally, using the solution of the mean convex neighborhood conjecture for neck singularities, we establish a local version of this equivalence for neck singularities in arbitrary dimension. In particular, we see that the ancient ovals occur as limit flows if and only if there is a sequence of spherical singularities converging to a neck singularity.
