Foliations by constant mean curvature tubes
Let Γ be a nondegenerate geodesic in a compact Riemannian manifold M . We prove the existence of a partial foliation of a neighbourhood of Γ by CMC surfaces which are small perturbations of the geodesic tubes about Γ. There are gaps in this foliation, which correspond to a bifurcation phenomenon. Conversely, we also prove, under certain restrictions, that the existence of a partial CMC foliatio...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature foliations in cosmological spacetimes
Foliations by constant mean curvature hypersurfaces provide a possibility of defining a preferred time coordinate in general relativity. In the following various conjectures are made about the existence of foliations of this kind in spacetimes satisfying the strong energy condition and possessing compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. Recent progress on proving these conjectures under supplementary assu...
متن کاملNeck Pinching Dynamics Under Mean Curvature Flow
In this paper we study motion of surfaces of revolution under the mean curvature flow. For an open set of initial conditions close to cylindrical surfaces we show that the solution forms a “neck” which pinches in a finite time at a single point. We also obtain a detailed description of the neck pinching process.
متن کاملMean Curvature Blowup in Mean Curvature Flow
In this note we establish that finite-time singularities of the mean curvature flow of compact Riemannian submanifolds M t →֒ (N, h) are characterised by the blow up of the mean curvature.
متن کاملMean curvature flow
Mean curvature flow is the negative gradient flow of volume, so any hypersurface flows through hypersurfaces in the direction of steepest descent for volume and eventually becomes extinct in finite time. Before it becomes extinct, topological changes can occur as it goes through singularities. If the hypersurface is in general or generic position, then we explain what singularities can occur un...
