Abstract

In this paper, we show that starting from a geodesic ball Br0(0)\overline{B_{r_0}}(0) in Hn\mathbb{H}^n, for n3n\geq3, with prescribed non-decreasing rotationally symmetric mean curvature and the fixed conformal class [gSn1][g_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}] on the boundary, the solution g(t)g(t) to the normalized Ricci flow (1.2)(1.2) which is continuous up to the boundary, exists for all t>0t>0 and converges locally uniformly in Br0(0)B_{r_0}(0) to a complete hyperbolic metric as tt\to\infty(see Theorem 1.2 for details). Moreover, the sectional curvature of g(t)g(t) maintains less than 1-1 for t>0t>0. For dimension 22, to achieve such a convergence result, we need the additional assumption that the mean curvature on the boundary increases in a certain speed to infinity as tt\to\infty.
