Example 2.15.

In dimension m=1m=1, the unique connected Lagrangian MCF translator in ℂ{\mathbin{\mathbb{C}}}, up to rigid motions and rescalings, is the ‘grim reaper’

{x+iy∈ℂ:y∈(−π/2,π/2),x=−logcosy},\bigl\{x+iy\in{\mathbin{\mathbb{C}}}:y\in(-\pi/2,\pi/2),\quad x=-\log\cos y\bigr\},

with translating vector v=1∈ℂv=1\in{\mathbin{\mathbb{C}}}, which is sketched in Figure 2.1.
