Abstract: | We show precompactness results for solutions to parabolic fourth order geometric evolution equations. As part of the proof we obtain smoothing estimates for these flows in the presence of a curvature bound, an improvement on prior results which also require a Sobolev constant bound. As consequences of these results we show that for any solution with a finite time singularity, the L ∞ norm of the curvature must go to infinity. Furthermore, we characterize the behavior at infinity of solutions with bounded curvature. |
