Contraction of hypersurfaces with positive sectional curvature in hyperbolic space

Differential Geometry 2026-04-29 v1

Abstract

We study contracting curvature flows of compact hypersurfaces with positive sectional curvature in hyperbolic space Hn+1\mathbb{H}^{n+1}. The speed is assumed to be homogeneous of degree one in the principal curvatures and to satisfy certain conditions. This class of flows includes the kkth mean curvature flow as a special case. We show that if the initial hypersurface has positive sectional curvature, then this property is preserved along the flow, and the evolving hypersurface contracts to a round point in finite time.
