Rotationally symmetric translating solitons of fully nonlinear extrinsic geometric flows: Classification and Applications

Abstract

We develop a rotational theory for translating solitons of fully nonlinear extrinsic curvature flows in Euclidean space. Furthermore, we obtain fine asymptotic expansions for bowl-type translators in nondegenerate and degenerate regimes. On the other hand, we also introduce a signed-neck framework which yields the construction and classification of catenoidal-type translators, distinguishing complete embedded families from maximal admissible pieces according to the selected signed branch. As applications, we prove uniqueness results for strictly convex entire graphical translators with prescribed bowl-type asymptotics and obtain catenoidal-barrier nonexistence results for bounded graphical translators.
