Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In the project we obtained the following major results: 1. We derived a complete description of the evolution of an area decreasing map f : M → N , induced by the mean curvature of their graph, in the situation where M and N are complete Riemann surfaces with bounded geometry, M being compact, for which their sectional curvatures σM and σN satisfy min σM ≥ sup σN . Moreover, several decay estimates for the second fundamental form and the mean curvature were obtained. 2. Properly embedded connected translating surfaces in R3 that are C1-asymptotic to two half-planes were studied and it was shown that either they coincide with half-planes or grim reaper cylinders. 3. The Lagrangian mean curvature flow of almost calibrated Lagrangian submanifolds in Calabi-Yau manifolds was studied and it was shown that there exists an optimal control on the evolving measure. This could be used to classify certain type-II singularities as the products of the grim reaper Γ with minimal Lagrangian submanifolds M ⊂ C^m−1 . 4. The evolution of spheres, in particular of the Whitney sphere, in euclidean space under the Lagrangian mean curvature flow was studied and under a natural non-negativity condition on the Ricci curvature it was shown that the developing type-II singularities must be grim reaper cylinders.
