Compact hypersurfaces with constant higher order mean curvatures.

Antonio Ros Mulero (1987)

A fundamental question about hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space is to decide if the sphere is the only compact hypersurface (embedded or immersed) with constant higher order mean curvature H, for some r = 1, ..., n.

Convexity estimates for flows by powers of the mean curvature

Similarity:

We study the evolution of a closed, convex hypersurface in 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. ...
