Positive $\tau$-bi-Ricci curvature and Mean curvature flow with surgery in hyperbolic space

Let $n\geq3$ and $0\leq\tau\leq2$. We prove that every smooth closed connected immersed hypersurface in hyperbolic space whose induced metric has positive $\tau$-bi-Ricci curvature admits a mean curvature flow with surgery which has only finitely many surgery times and terminates. In the range compatible with cylindrical necks, the key ingredients are a preserved quantitative spectral pinching condition, which converts the intrinsic hypothesis into uniform two-convexity, and cylindrical and derivative estimates that remain valid across the hyperbolic standard neck replacement. At the endpoint $n=3$, $\tau=2$, positive $\tau$-bi-Ricci curvature is positive Ricci curvature and forces strict convexity, so the ordinary mean curvature flow converges to a round point. Consequently, the underlying manifold is diffeomorphic to a sphere or to a finite connected sum of copies of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times\mathbb{S}^1$. If the initial hypersurface is embedded and bounds a compact domain, that domain is a one-handlebody, namely a ball with finitely many one-handles attached.

Free boundary flows by powers of the Gauss curvature in the unit ball

We study smooth compact strictly convex hypersurfaces in the unit ball that meet the support sphere orthogonally and evolve by the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow $\partial_tX=-K^\alpha\nu$, $\alpha>0$. We prove that the solution remains strictly convex, becomes extinct in finite time and contracts to a single point on the support sphere. If $\alpha>\frac{1}{n+2}$, we apply a Cayley-type conformal map that sends the extinction point to the origin of a Euclidean half-space and then normalize the enclosed half-space volume. The resulting normalized hypersurfaces converge smoothly to the unit hemisphere. The proof combines boundary identities for the spherical free boundary, a boundary-adapted Tso estimate, an almost-monotonicity formula for a half-space entropy, and uniform curvature estimates for the normalized flow.
