Abstract

We derive various sharp upper bounds for the pp-capacity of a smooth compact set KK in the hyperbolic space Hn\mathbb{H}^n and the Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Firstly, using the inverse mean curvature flow, for the mean convex and star-shaped set KK in Hn\mathbb{H}^n, we obtain sharp upper bounds for the pp-capacity Capp(K)\mathrm{Cap}_p(K) in three cases: (1) n2n\geq 2 and p=2p=2, (2) n=2n=2 and p3p\geq 3, (3) n=3n=3 and 1<p31<p\leq 3; Using the unit-speed normal flow, we prove a sharp upper bound for Capp(K)\mathrm{Cap}_p(K) of a convex set KK in Hn\mathbb{H}^n for n2n\geq 2 and p>1p>1. Secondly, for the compact set KK in R3\mathbb{R}^3, using the weak inverse mean curvature flow, we get a sharp upper bound for the pp-capacity (1<p<31<p<3) of the set KK with connected boundary; Using the inverse anisotropic mean curvature flow, we deduce a sharp upper bound for the anisotropic pp-capacity (1<p<31<p<3) of an FF-mean convex and star-shaped set KK in R3\mathbb{R}^3.
