Infinite-Time Singularities with Vanishing Mean Curvature for Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flow in Gibbons--Hawking Spaces

We construct infinite-time singularities with vanishing mean curvature for Lagrangian mean curvature flow in Gibbons--Hawking spaces. We consider circle-invariant Lagrangian $2$-spheres whose quotient curves are concave and are $C^2$-close to a collection of consecutive collinear segments. We prove that the corresponding flow exists smoothly for all time and converges to the associated $A_{n-1}$-chain of special Lagrangian spheres. Although the mean curvature converges uniformly to zero, the second fundamental form becomes unbounded. More precisely, $\log\max |A(\,\cdot\,,t)|$ is comparable to $\sqrt{t}$ as $t\to\infty$. The proof is based on a one-parameter family of barrier curves and a detailed analysis of their asymptotics. In this way, we refine the infinite-time convergence picture arising in the work of Lotay and Oliveira by proving curvature blow-up and estimating its rate in this semi-stable case.

Dynamical Stability of Minimal Lagrangians in K\"ahler-Einstein Manifolds of Non-Positive Curvature

It is known that minimal Lagrangians in K\"ahler--Einstein manifolds of non-positive scalar curvature are linearly stable under Hamiltonian deformations. We prove that they are also stable under the Lagrangian mean curvature flow, and therefore establish the equivalence between linear stability and dynamical stability. Specifically, if one starts the mean curvature flow with a Lagrangian which is $C^1$-close and Hamiltonian isotopic to a minimal Lagrangian, the flow exists smoothly for all time, and converges to that minimal Lagrangian. Due to the work of Neves [Ann. of Math. 2013], this cannot be true for $C^0$-closeness.
