Andrews, H. Li and Y. Wei, entitled with \"F-stability for self-shrinking solutions to mean curvature flow\". In our article, we at the same time showed the unstability of Anciaux's closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers", "categories": [ "math.DG" ], "abstract": "In this paper, we generalize Colding and Minicozzi's work \\cite{CM} on the stability of self-shrinkers in the hypersurface case to higher co-dimensional cases. The first and second variation formulae of the $F$-functional are derived and an equivalent condition to the stability in general codimension is found. Moreover, we show that the closed Lagrangian self-shrinkers given by Anciaux in \\cite{An} are unstable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-27T06:37:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "higher codimension", "higher co-dimensional cases", "second variation formulae", "minicozzis work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.6116L" } } }
