Evolution by Mean Curvature Flow in Sub-riemannian Geometries: a Stochastic Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We study evolution by horizontal mean curvature flow in subRiemannian geometries by using stochastic approach to prove the existence of a generalized evolution in these spaces. In particular we show that the value function of suitable family of stochastic control problems solves in the viscosity sense the level set equation for the evolution by horizontal mean curvature flow.

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...
متن کاملCurvature flows on four manifolds with boundary
Given a compact four dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold (M, g) with smooth boundary, we consider the evolution equation by Q-curvature in the interior keeping the T -curvature and the mean curvature to be zero and the evolution equation by T -curvature at the boundary with the condition that the Q-curvature and the mean curvature vanish. Using integral method, we prove global existence and ...
متن کاملRiemannian Mean Curvature Flow
In this paper we explicitly derive a level set formulation for mean curvature flow in a Riemannian metric space. This extends the traditional geodesic active contour framework which is based on conformal flows. Curve evolution for image segmentation can be posed as a Riemannian evolution process where the induced metric is related to the local structure tensor. Examples on both synthetic and re...
متن کاملIntegrability of the Sub-riemannian Mean Curvature of Surfaces in the Heisenberg Group
Abstract. The problem of the local summability of the sub-Riemannian mean curvature H of a hypersurface M in the Heisenberg group, or in more general Carnot groups, near the characteristic set of M arises naturally in several questions in geometric measure theory. We construct an example which shows that the sub-Riemannian mean curvature H of a C2 surface M in the Heisenberg group H1 in general...
متن کاملOn Some Sub-riemannian Objects in Hypersurfaces of Sub-riemannian Manifolds
We study some sub-Riemannian objects (such as horizontal connectivity, horizontal connection, horizontal tangent plane, horizontal mean curvature) in hypersurfaces of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a connected hypersurface in a contact manifold of dimension more than three is noncharacteristic or with isolated characteristic points, then given two points, there exists at least one p...
