Abstract

This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension n(2)n(\geq 2) in the hyperbolic space Hκn+1{\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1} of constant sectional curvature κ\kappa evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed is given by a power β(1/m)\beta (\geq 1/m) of the mmth mean curvature plus a volume preserving term, including the case of powers of the mean curvature and of the \mboxGau\ss\mbox{Gau\ss} curvature. The main result is that if the initial hypersurface satisfies that the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvature is close enough to 1 everywhere, depending only on nn, mm, β\beta and κ\kappa, then under the flow this is maintained, there exists a unique, smooth solution of the flow for all times, and the evolving hypersurfaces exponentially converge to a geodesic sphere of Hκn+1{\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}, enclosing the same volume as the initial hypersurface.
