Abstract

We introduce a family of functionals on submanifolds of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds that generalize the Colding-Minicozzi entropy of submanifolds of Euclidean space. We show that these functionals are monotone under mean curvature flow under natural conditions. As a consequence, we obtain sharp lower bounds on these entropies for certain closed hypersurfaces and observe a novel rigidity phenomenon.
