Abstract

Let H^n+1 be hyperbolic space of sectional curvature -1, with a fixed point o. We study the non-homogeneous curvature flow X_t=-f(r) sigma_k^alpha nu of smooth, closed, strictly h-convex hypersurfaces enclosing o, where r is the geodesic distance to o and alpha>0. The radial weight f is modeled on sinh^betar; we treat both regimes: beta>1+kalpha and beta=1+kalpha. Under a structural condition of f, the flow exists smoothly for all time, preserves strict h-convexity, and contracts to o. The normalized radial function converges, exponentially in normalized time: to 1 and to a positive constant R_infty respectively in two different cases.
