General Curvature Flow without Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
In [5], Sáez and Schnürer studied the graphical mean curvature flow of complete hypersurfaces defined on subsets of Euclidean space. They obtained long time existence. Moreover, they provided a new interpretation of weak mean curvature flow. In this paper, we generalize their results to a general curvature setting. Our key ingredient is the existence result of general curvature flow with boundary conditions, which is proved in Section 4.

Mean 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...
متن کاملOn the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces
We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward – existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for the combinatorial one and that, moreover, the same results hold for a more general, metric notion of curvature. Furthermore, using the metric curvature appro...
متن کاملMarangoni-driven singularities via mean-curvature flow
In this work, it is demonstrated that the existence and topology of the recently observed interfacial singularities driven by Marangoni effects can be deduced using mean-curvature flow theory extended to account for variations of interfacial tension. This suggests that some of the physical mechanisms underlying the formation of these interfacial singularities may originate from/be modeled by th...
متن کاملSingularities in the complex physical plane for deep water waves
Deep water waves in two-dimensional flow can have curvature singularities on the surface profile, for example, the limiting Stokes wave has a corner of 2π/3 radians and the limiting standing wave momentarily forms a corner of π/2 radians. Much less is known about the possible formation of curvature singularities in general. A novel way of exploring this possibility is to consider the curvature ...
متن کاملThe Value of Singularities
We point out that spacetime singularities play a useful role in gravitational theories by eliminating unphysical solutions. In particular, we argue that any modification of general relativity which is completely nonsingular cannot have a stable ground state. This argument applies both to classical extensions of general relativity, and to candidate quantum theories of gravity. 1 Internet: gary@c...
