Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flow of submanifolds of arbitrary codimension in CPm\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^m. We prove that if the initial submanifold satisfies a pinching condition, then the mean curvature flow converges to a round point in finite time, or converges to a totally geodesic submanifold as tt \rightarrow \infty. Consequently, we obtain a new differentiable sphere theorem for submanifolds in CPm\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^m. Our work improves the convergence theorem for mean curvature flow due to Pipoli and Sinestrari {\cite{PiSi2015}}.
