Existence of full finite-entropy ancient mean curvature flows

About 7 years old · traced to

Let NN and nn be positive integers with N≥nN\geq n. An ancient solution to the mean curvature flow in RN\mathbb{R}^N is full if it does not lie in any (N−1)(N-1)-dimensional Euclidean subspace.

Existence conjecture. There exists an nn-dimensional, connected, full ancient solution to the mean curvature flow in RN\mathbb{R}^N with finite entropy.

The preceding theorem establishes this existence when n≥2n\geq2, while the conjecture extends the assertion to the remaining case allowed by N≥nN\geq n. The construction is notable for producing explicit ancient flows in Euclidean space with finite entropy.
