Combined with our previous convergence result for the capillary Gauss curvature flow [16, Theorem 1.1], it follows that the flow starting from a strictly convex capillary hypersurface with an acute contact angle converges to a capillary spherical cap, after a suitable rescaling.Other curvature flowsGauss curvature flowStability & uniquenessFree boundary & capillary https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.09840arxiv:2506.09840Wed, 11 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMTXinqun Mei, Guofang Wang, Liangjun Weng — In this article, we first introduce a Gauss curvature type flow for capillary hypersurfaces, which we call capillary Gauss curvature flow. We then show that the flow will shrink to a point in finite time. This is a capillary counterpart (or Robin boundary counterpart) of Firey's problem studied in [Mathematika 21 (1974), pp. 1-11] and Tso [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 38 (1985), no. 6, 867-882]. Finally, we prove that its normalized flow converges to a soliton. This is a capillary counterpart of the result of Guan and Ni in [J. Eur. Math. Soc. 19 (2017), no. 12, 3735-3761]. The classification of solitons remains an open conjecture.Other curvature flowsGauss curvature flowSingularitiesFree boundary & capillary https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.13463arxiv:2209.13463Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMTXinqun Mei, Guofang Wang, Liangjun Weng — In this article, we study a locally constrained mean curvature flow for star-shaped hypersurfaces with capillary boundary in the half-space. We prove its long-time existence and the global convergence to a spherical cap. Furthermore, the capillary quermassintegrals defined in evolve monotonically along the flow, and hence we establish a class of new Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for convex hypersurfaces with capillary boundary in the half-space.Mean curvature flowVolume-preserving & constrained flowsFree boundary & capillaryLong-time existence & convergenceGeometric inequalities https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.04639arxiv:2206.04639Thu, 09 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMTGuofang Wang, Liangjun Weng, Chao Xia — In this paper, we first introduce quermassintegrals for capillary hypersurfaces in the half-space. Then we solve the related isoperimetric type problems for the convex capillary hypersurfaces and obtain the corresponding Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities. In order to prove these results, we construct a new locally constrained curvature flow and prove that the flow converges globally to a spherical cap.Other curvature flowsVolume-preserving & constrained flowsFree boundary & capillaryGeometric inequalities
