Contraction of horosphere-convex hypersurfaces by powers of the mean curvature in the hyperbolic space

Abstract

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed hypersurface of the hyperbolic space, convex by horospheres, in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed equals a positive power $\beta$ of the positive mean curvature. It is shown that the flow exists on a finite maximal interval, convexity by horospheres is preserved and the hypersurfaces shrink down to a single point as the final time is approached.

Keywords: $H^{\beta}$-curvature flow, horosphere, convex hypersurface, hyperbolic space
