Introduction to mean curvature flow

Roberta Alessandroni (2008-2009)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Similarity:

This is a short overview on the most classical results on mean curvature flow as a flow of smooth hypersurfaces. First of all we define the mean curvature flow as a quasilinear parabolic equation and give some easy examples of evolution. Then we consider the M.C.F. on convex surfaces and sketch the proof of the convergence to a round point. Some interesting results on the M.C.F. for entire graphs are also mentioned. In particular when we consider the case of dimension one, we can compute...

How to produce a Ricci flow via Cheeger–Gromoll exhaustion

Esther Cabezas-Rivas, Burkhard Wilking (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open...

Curvature and Flow in Digital Space

Atsushi Imiya (2013)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

We first define the curvature indices of vertices of digital objects. Second, using these indices, we define the principal normal vectors of digital curves and surfaces. These definitions allow us to derive the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for digital objects. Third, we introduce curvature flow for isothetic polytopes defined in a digital space.

A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Giuseppe Pipoli (2017)

Complex Manifolds

Similarity:

In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces. We show similarities and differences between the case considered, with particular attention to how the geometry of the ambient manifolds influences the behaviour of the evolution. Moreover we try, when possible, to give an unified approach to the results present in literature.

Convexity estimates for flows by powers of the mean curvature

Felix Schulze (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We study the evolution of a closed, convex hypersurface in ℝ n + 1 in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power k ≥ 1 of the mean curvature. We show that if initially the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvatures at every point is close enough to 1 , depending only on k and n , then this is maintained under the flow. As a consequence we obtain that, when rescaling appropriately as the flow contracts to a point, the evolving surfaces converge to the unit sphere. ...
