We show that if the initial hypersurface is sufficiently close to a coordinate sphere, these flows exist globally and converge smoothly to a constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface, namely a coordinate sphere. For asymptotically Schwarzschild space, if the initial hypersurface has pinched curvature outside of some large compact set, or more orecisely sufficiently close to an isoperimetric hypersurface, outside of some large compact set in C^2 sense, we will apply similar method combined with the center manifold analysis to see that the flow still exists for all time and converges to CMC hypersurface exponentially fast. This in particular gives an existence result for a CMC hypersurface in asymptotically flat space.Mean curvature flowVolume-preserving & constrained flowsStability & uniquenessBoundaries & non-compactLong-time existence & convergenceGeometric inequalitiesMinimal & CMC surfaces https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.17024arxiv:2412.17024Sun, 22 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMTYaoting Gui, Yuqiao Li, Jun Sun — This paper investigates the volume-preserving harmonic mean curvature flow in asymptotically Schwarzschild spaces. We demonstrate the long-time existence and exponential convergence of this flow with a coordinate sphere of large radius serving as the initial surface in the asymptotically flat end, which eventually converges to a constant harmonic mean curvature surface. We also establish that these surfaces form a foliation of the space outside a large ball. Finally, we utilize this foliation to define the center of mass, proving that it agrees with the center of mass defined by the ADM formulation of the initial data set.Mean curvature flowBoundaries & non-compactLong-time existence & convergencePhysics https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.12810arxiv:2409.12810Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMTYaoting Gui, Yuqiao Li, Jun Sun — We first demonstrate that the area preserving mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in space forms exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a round sphere if the integral of the traceless second fundamental form is sufficiently small. Then we show that from sufficiently large initial coordinate sphere, the area preserving mean curvature flow exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a constant mean curvature surface in 3-dimensional asymptotically Schwarzschild spaces. This provides a new approach to the existence of foliation established by Huisken and Yau.
