Abstract

In this paper, we show that starting from a geodesic ball in , for , with prescribed non-decreasing rotationally symmetric mean curvature and the fixed conformal class on the boundary, the solution to the normalized Ricci flow which is continuous up to the boundary, exists for all and converges locally uniformly in to a complete hyperbolic metric as (see Theorem 1.2 for details). Moreover, the sectional curvature of maintains less than for . For dimension , to achieve such a convergence result, we need the additional assumption that the mean curvature on the boundary increases in a certain speed to infinity as .
