Volume Growth of Self-Shrinkers of the $Q_k$-Flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a general volume estimate for complete Riemannian manifolds under suitable differential inequalities involving a proper function and a symmetric tensor, without imposing curvature assumptions. As an application, we prove that a class of orientable hypersurfaces properly immersed in Euclidean space has at most polynomial volume growth and finite weighted volume. This class includes, in particular, certain self-shrinkers of the $Q_k$-flow and properly immersed minimal hypersurfaces for which the normal component of the position vector is bounded.
