Assuming only a certain bound on the Lipschitz norm of an initial entire Lagrangian graph in $\\R^{2n}$, we show that the parabolic equation \\eqref{PMA} for the Lagrangian potential has a longtime solution which is smooth for all positive time and satisfies uniform estimates away from time $t=0$. In particular, under the mean curvature flow the graph immediately becomes smooth and the solution exists for all time such that the second fundamental form decays uniformly to 0 on the graph as $t\\to \\infty$. Our assumption on the Lipschitz norm is equivalent to the assumption that the underlying Lagrangian potential $u$ is uniformly convex with its Hessian bounded in $L^\\infty$. We apply this result to prove a Bernstein type theorem for translating solitons, namely that if such an entire Lagrangian graph is a smooth translating soliton, then it must be a flat plane. We also prove convergence of the evolving graphs under additional conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-02-19T06:17:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "53A10" ], "keywords": [ "lagrangian mean curvature flow", "entire lipschitz graphs", "entire lagrangian graph", "second fundamental form decays" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.3300C" } } }
