Mean Curvature Flow with Convex Gauss Image

چکیده

We study the mean curvature flow of complete space-like submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space with bounded Gauss image, as well as that of complete submanifolds in Euclidean space with convex Gauss image. By using the confinable property of the Gauss image under the mean curvature flow we prove the long time existence results in both cases. We also study the asymptotic behavior of these solutions when t → ∞.

Se p 20 02 Gauss Maps of the Mean Curvature Flow

Let F : Σ n × [0, T) → R n+m be a family of compact immersed sub-manifolds moving by their mean curvature vector. We show the Gauss maps γ : (Σ n , g t) → G(n, m) form a harmonic heat flow with respect to the time-dependent induced metric g t. This provides a more systematic approach to investigate higher codimension mean curvature flows. A direct consequence is any convex function on G(n, m) p...

Gauss Images of Hyperbolic Cusps with Convex Polyhedral Boundary François Fillastre and Ivan Izmestiev

We prove that a 3–dimensional hyperbolic cusp with convex polyhedral boundary is uniquely determined by its Gauss image. Furthermore, any spherical metric on the torus with cone singularities of negative curvature and all closed contractible geodesics of length greater than 2π is the metric of the Gauss image of some convex polyhedral cusp. This result is an analog of the Rivin-Hodgson theorem ...

Local geometry of isoscalar surfaces.

An inert dynamically passive scalar in a constant density fluid forced by a statistically homogeneous field of turbulence has been investigated using the results of a 256(3) grid direct numerical simulation. Mixing characteristics are characterized in terms of either principal curvatures or mean and Gauss curvatures. The most probable small-scale scalar geometries are flat and tilelike isosurfa...

Entropy and a Convergence Theorem for Gauss Curvature Flow in High Dimension

In this paper we prove uniform regularity estimates for the normalized Gauss curvature flow in higher dimensions. The convergence of solutions in C∞-topology to a smooth strictly convex soliton as t approaches to infinity is obtained as a consequence of these estimates together with an earlier result of Andrews. The estimates are established via the study of an entropy functional for convex bod...
