Abstract

We consider the long-time behaviour of the mean curvature flow of spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentzian product manifold M×RM\times\mathbb{R}, where MM is asymptotically flat. If the initial hypersurface F0M×RF_0\subset M\times\mathbb{R} is uniformly spacelike and asymptotic to M×{s}M\times\left\{s\right\} for some sRs\in\mathbb{R} at infinity, we show that a mean curvature flow starting at F0F_0 exists for all times and converges uniformly to M×{s}M\times\left\{s\right\} as tt\to \infty.
