Abstract

In this paper, we classify all noncollapsed singularity models for the mean curvature flow of $3$-dimensional hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ or more generally in $4$-manifolds. Specifically, we prove that every noncollapsed translating hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ is either $\mathbb{R} \times 2\textrm{d}$-bowl, or a $3\textrm{d}$ round bowl, or belongs to the one-parameter family of $3\textrm{d}$ oval bowls constructed by Hoffman–Ilmanen–Martin–White.
