Pinched hypersurfaces contract to round points

Differential Geometry 2015-03-02 v1

Abstract

We investigate the evolution of closed strictly convex hypersurfaces in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, n=3, for contracting normal velocities, including powers of the mean curvature, of the norm of the second fundamental form, and of the Gauss curvature. We prove convergence to a round point for 2-pinched initial hypersurfaces. In Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}, n=2, natural quantities exist for proving convergence to a round point for many normal velocities. Here we present their counterparts for arbitrary dimensions nNn\in\mathbb{N}.
