We consider compact convex hypersurfaces contracting by functions of their curvature. Under the mean curvature flow, uniformly convex smooth initial hypersurfaces evolve to remain smooth and uniformly convex, and contract to points after finite time. The same holds if the initial data is only weakly convex or non-smooth, and the limiting shape at the final time is spherical. We provide a surprisingly large family of flows for which such results fail, by a variety of mechanisms: Uniformly convex hypersurfaces may become non-convex, and smooth ones may develop curvature singularities; even where this does not occur, non-uniformly convex regions and singular parts in the initial hypersurface may persist, including flat sides, ridges of infinite curvature, or ‘cylindrical’ regions where some of the principal curvatures vanish; such cylindrical regions may persist even if the speed is positive, and in such cases the hypersurface may even collapse to a line segment or higher-dimensional disc rather than to a point. We provide sufficient conditions for these various disasters to occur, and by avoiding these arrive at a class of flows for which arbitrary weakly convex initial hypersurfaces immediately become smooth and uniformly convex and contract to points.  相似文献

We consider the inverse curvature flows in the anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild manifold with star-shaped initial hypersurface, driven by the 1-homogeneous curvature function. We show that the solutions exist for all time and, and the principle curvatures of the evolving hypersurface converge to 1 exponentially fast as time tends to infinity.  相似文献

We define the concept of a curvature netted hypersurface and investigate in what case the hypersurface is covered by a twisted product of spheres (or topological product of spheres). All hypersurfaces in a space form such that the number of mutually distinct principal curvatures is constant (i.e. each principal curvature has constant multiplicity) are curvature netted hypersurfaces. Also, we state some inductive constructions of the hypersurfaces, where we use the discussion related to the tube.  相似文献

We study immersed prescribed mean curvature compact hypersurfaces with boundary in Hn+1(-1). When the boundary is a convex planar smooth manifold with all principal curvatures greater than 1, we solve a nonparametric Dirichlet problem and use this, together with a general flux formula, to prove a parametric uniqueness result, in the class of all immersed compact hypersurfaces with the same boundary. We specialize this result to a constant mean curvature, obtaining a characterization of totally umbilic hypersurface caps.  相似文献

We consider the mean curvature flow of a closed hypersurface in the complex or quaternionic projective space. Under a suitable pinching assumption on the initial data, we prove apriori estimates on the principal curvatures which imply that the asymptotic profile near a singularity is either strictly convex or cylindrical. This result generalizes to a large class of symmetric ambient spaces the estimates obtained in the previous works on the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space and in the sphere.  相似文献

The aim of this paper is to study the uniqueness of complete hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product whose warping function has convex logarithm and such that its fiber has constant sectional curvature. By using as main analytical tool a suitable maximum principle for complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds and supposing a natural comparison inequality between the r-th mean curvatures of the hypersurface and that ones of the slices of the region where the hypersurface is contained, we are able to prove that a such hypersurface must be, in fact, a slice.  相似文献

Our purpose in this paper is to study the rigidity of complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric manifold obeying some standard curvature conditions (in particular, in a Riemannian space with constant sectional curvature). Under appropriated constrains on the scalar curvature function, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures, one of them being simple. Furthermore, we also deal with the parabolicity of these hypersurfaces with respect to a suitable Cheng–Yau modified operator.  相似文献

We study the evolution of a closed immersed hypersurface whose speed is given by a function f(H){\phi(H)} (H) of the mean curvature asymptotic to H/ ln H for large H. Compared with other nonlinear functions of the curvatures, this speed has some good properties which allow for an easier study of the formation of singularities in the nonconvex case. We prove apriori estimates showing that any surface with positive mean curvature at the initial time becomes asymptotically convex near a singularity. Similar estimates also hold for the mean curvature flow; for the flow considered here they admit a simpler proof based only on the maximum principle.  相似文献

In this paper, we treat hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space the number of whose distinct principal curvatures is constant almost everywhere. We call such a hypersurface satisfying certain additional condition a curvature netted hypersurface. First we shall define the notions of a twisted (or warped) sum immersion, a slant focal map and a slant tube. We shall investigate, in what case, a complete curvature netted hypersurface is immersed by a warped sum immersion or becomes a slant tube of the image of a slant focal map.  相似文献

A smooth, compact and strictly convex hypersurface evolving in ℝ n+1 along its mean curvature vector plus a forcing term in the direction of its position vector is studied in this paper. We show that the convexity is preserving as the case of mean curvature flow, and the evolving convex hypersurfaces may shrink to a point in finite time if the forcing term is small, or exist for all time and expand to infinity if it is large enough. The flow can converge to a round sphere if the forcing term satisfies suitable conditions which will be given in the paper. Long-time existence and convergence of normalization of the flow are also investigated.  相似文献

We find the first examples of real hypersurfaces with two nonconstant principal curvatures in complex projective and hyperbolic planes, and we classify them. It turns out that each such hypersurface is foliated by equidistant Lagrangian flat surfaces with parallel mean curvature or, equivalently, by principal orbits of a cohomogeneity two polar action.  相似文献

We classify hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space ?n+1(c) with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature n(n ? 1) R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n? 1, then R ≥ c. Additionally, we prove two rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.  相似文献

We classify spacelike hypersurfaces of the de Sitter space with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n−1, then R<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we prove several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.  相似文献

In this paper, we establish a characterization theorem concerning the complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric Lorentz space, whose sectional curvature is supposed to obey certain appropriated conditions. Under a suitable restriction on the length of the second fundamental form, we prove that a such spacelike hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.  相似文献

We investigate the immersed hypersurfaces in space forms ℕ n + 1(c), n ≥ 4 with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures without the assumption that the (high order) mean curvature is constant. We prove that any immersed hypersurface in space forms with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures is locally conformal to the Riemannian product of two constant curved manifolds. We also obtain some characterizations for the Clifford hypersurfaces in terms of the trace free part of the second fundamental form.  相似文献

We deal with complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a Lorentzian space form, having two distinct principal curvatures. In this setting, we show that such a spacelike hypersurface must be isometric to a certain isoparametric hypersurface of the ambient space, under suitable restrictions on the values of the mean curvature and of the norm of the traceless part of its second fundamental form. Our approach is based on the use of a Simons type formula related to an appropriated Cheng–Yau modified operator jointly with some generalized maximum principles.  相似文献

This paper proves that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a realisoparametric hypersurface in CP~n with constant principal curvatures can be only 2, 3 or 5.The prehnage of such hypersurface under the Hopf fibration is an isoparametrichypersarface in S~(2n+l) with 2 or 4 distinct principal curvatures. For real isoparametrichypersurfaces in CP~n with 5 distinct constant principal curvatures a local structuretheorem is given.  相似文献

We consider \(M^n,\,n\ge 3\) , umbilic-free hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space, with nonvanishing principal curvatures. We prove that \(M\) is a Laguerre isoparametric hypersurface if, and only if, it is a cyclide of Dupin or a Dupin hypersurface with constant Laguerre curvatures.  相似文献
