Asymptotic Stability of the Simons Cone for the Vanishing Mean Curvature Flow in Minkowski Space

  • Weiping Yan

摘要

The Simons cone is known as a counter-example of Bernstein conjecture for the minimal surface equation \( \textrm{div}\left( \frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}}\right) =0, \quad \forall x\in \mathbb {R}^{d},\quad d\ge 8. \) div u 1 + | u | 2 = 0 , x R d , d 8 . This celebrated minimal surface is a stationary solution of the timelike extremal hypersurface equation \( \partial _t\left( \frac{\partial _t u}{\sqrt{1-|\partial _t u|^2+|\nabla u|^2}}\right) -\textrm{div}\left( \frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1-|\partial _t u|^2+|\nabla u|^2}}\right) =0 \) t t u 1 - | t u | 2 + | u | 2 - div u 1 - | t u | 2 + | u | 2 = 0 in higher dimension \(d\ge 8\) d 8 . We consider asymptotic stability of the Simons cone for the vanishing mean curvature flow in higher dimension \(d\ge 8\) d 8 . We prove that if the Simons cone is perturbed by a small radial symmetric initial data, then there exists a global unique solution of the vanishing mean curvature flow asymptotic to the Simons cone. It means that a unique global timelike extremal surface asymptotically to the Simons cone is constructed.
