No-singularity conjecture for embedded triod flow with positive length bounds
No-singularity conjecture for embedded triod flow with positive length bounds
Let be a bounded, strictly convex domain, and let be the flow by curvature of an embedded triod in . Assume that the lengths of the three curves are uniformly bounded below by a positive constant. No-singularity conjecture. The flow does not develop singularities at all. This would follow from the translation conjecture for the relevant Type II blow-up limits and would establish global regularity under the stated lower length bound. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
