Abstract

In this paper, we study the locally constrained inverse curvature flow for hypersurfaces in the half-space with -capillary boundary, which was recently introduced by Wang-Weng-Xia. Assume that the initial hypersurface is strictly convex with the contact angle . We prove that the solution of the flow remains to be strictly convex for , exists for all positive time and converges smoothly to a spherical cap. As an application, we prove a complete family of Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for convex capillary hypersurfaces in the half-space with the contact angle . Along the proof, we develop a new tensor maximum principle for parabolic equations on compact manifold with proper Neumann boundary condition.
