Differential Geometry 2026-04-14 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study the area-preserving and length-preserving κα\kappa^\alpha-type curvature flows of smooth, closed, convex curves in the two-dimensional hyperbolic plane H2\mathbb H^2 for α<0\alpha<0 and prove that convexity is preserved along the flows. Assuming that the flows exist for all time, we show that the evolving curves converge smoothly to geodesic circles. Furthermore, we also derive a sufficient condition for global existence of the flows.
