Existence of full finite-entropy ancient mean curvature flows

Let NN and nn be positive integers with NnN\geq n. An ancient solution to the mean curvature flow in RN\mathbb{R}^N is full if it does not lie in any (N1)(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 n2n\geq2, while the conjecture extends the assertion to the remaining case allowed by NnN\geq n. The construction is notable for producing explicit ancient flows in Euclidean space with finite entropy.
