Translating solutions to the Gauss curvature flow with flat sides

Kyeongsu Choi, Panagiota Daskalopoulos and Ki-Ahm Lee

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 2, 595–616
Abstract

We derive local C2 estimates for complete noncompact translating solitons of the Gauss curvature flow in 3 which are graphs over a convex domain Ω. This is closely is related to deriving local C1,1 estimates for the degenerate Monge–Ampère equation. As a result, given a weakly convex bounded domain Ω, we establish the existence of a Cloc1,1 translating soliton. In particular, when the boundary Ω has line segments, we show the existence of flat sides of the translator from a local a priori nondegeneracy estimate near the free boundary.
