Flow by the power of the Gauss curvature

Differential Geometry 2015-10-05 v1

Abstract

We prove that convex hypersurfaces in Rn+1{\mathbb R}^{n+1} contracting under the flow by any power α>1n+2\alpha>\frac{1}{n+2} of the Gauss curvature converge (after rescaling to fixed volume) to a limit which is a smooth, uniformly convex self-similar contracting solution of the flow. Under additional central symmetry of the initial body we prove that the limit is the round sphere.
