Classification of Semigraphical Translators

Abstract

We complete the classification of semigraphical translators for mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that was initiated by Hoffman-Mart\'in-White. Specifically, we show that there is no solution to the translator equation on the upper half-plane with alternating positive and negative infinite boundary values, and we prove the uniqueness of pitchfork and helicoid translators. The proofs use Morse-Rad\'o theory for translators and an angular maximum principle.
