Abstract

We study the inverse curve shortening flow in the hyperbolic plane . We classify all solitons with respect to parabolic and conformal vector fields of . In the upper half-plane model of , we prove that parabolic solitons are all graphs on the -axis, whereas conformal solitons are graphs on the -axis. We study the concavity of these solitons and when they approach the coordinate axes.
