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.
This paper studies self-shrinkers and the long-time behavior of the inverse $\sigma_k$ curvature flow for noncompact entire spacelike strictly convex hypersurfaces in Minkowski space. In contrast to the co-compact setting, where the corresponding self-shrinker is rigid, the noncompact problem admits a rich family of se...
We address the prescribed Lorentzian mean curvature problem over a convex bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^m$ with bounded right-hand side and homogeneous capillary boundary condition. We prove that the problem has a unique $W^{2,2}$-regular weak solution $u$ with zero mean and that $|Du| \leq 1 - \theta$ for some...
We study graphical mean curvature flow in arbitrary codimension over the half-space and over smooth bounded domains, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. At the scaling-critical Lipschitz regularity, we prove local well-posedness for initial graphs that can be approximated in $W^{1,\infty}$ by smooth p...
We construct a $4$-parameter family of properly embedded genus-zero surfaces with at most two boundary components in a Riemannian $3$-ball. The construction is a free boundary analog of the canonical $5$-parameter family of surfaces on the $3$-sphere by Marques-Neves in the proof of Willmore conjecture. In the Euclidea...
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 cylindric...
Let $M^3\to X^4$ be a complete, connected, two-sided stable minimal immersion. We prove that if the ambient sectional curvature is nonnegative and the ambient scalar curvature has a positive uniform lower bound, then $M$ is totally geodesic and its normal Ricci curvature vanishes. No weak bounded geometry assumption an...
