In this paper, we consider an expanding flow of closed, smooth, uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean mathbb{R}^{n+1} with speed u^alpha f^beta (alpha, betainmathbb{R}^1), where u is support function of the hypersurface, f is a smooth, symmetric, homogenous of degree one, positive function of the principal curvature radii of the hypersurface. If alpha leq 0<betaleq 1-alpha, we prove that the flow has a unique smooth and uniformly convex solution for all time, and converges smoothly after normalization, to a round sphere centered at the origin.
In this paper, we first consider a class of expanding flows of closed, smooth, star-shaped hypersurface in Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $u^alpha f^{-beta}$, where $u$ is the support function of the hypersurface, $f$ is a smooth, symmetric, homogenous of degree one, positive function of the principal curvatures of the hypersurface on a convex cone. For $alpha le 0<betale 1-alpha$, we prove that the flow has a unique smooth solution for all time, and converges smoothly after normalization, to a sphere centered at the origin. In particular, the results of Gerhardt cite{GC3} and Urbas cite{UJ2} can be recovered by putting $alpha=0$ and $beta=1$ in our first result. If the initial hypersurface is convex, this is our previous work cite{DL}. If $alpha le 0<beta< 1-alpha$ and the ambient space is hyperbolic space $mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, we prove that the flow $frac{partial X}{partial t}=(u^alpha f^{-beta}-eta u) u$ has a longtime existence and smooth convergence to a coordinate slice. The flow in $mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ is equivalent (up to an isomorphism) to a re-parametrization of the original flow in $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ case. Finally, we find a family of monotone quantities along the flows in $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. As applications, we give a new proof of a family of inequalities involving the weighted integral of $k$th elementary symmetric function for $k$-convex, star-shaped hypersurfaces, which is an extension of the quermassintegral inequalities in cite{GL2}.
This paper concerns the evolution of complete noncompact locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean space by curvature flow, for which the normal speed $Phi$ is given by a power $betageq 1$ of a monotone symmetric and homogeneous of degree one function $F$ of the principal curvatures. Under the assumption that $F$ is inverse concave and its dual function approaches zero on the boundary of positive cone, we prove that the complete smooth strictly convex solution exists and remains a graph until the maximal time of existence. In particular, if $F=K^{s/n}G^{1-s}$ for any $sin(0, 1]$, where $G$ is a homogeneous of degree one, increasing in each argument and inverse concave curvature function, we prove that the complete noncompact smooth strictly convex solution exists and remains a graph for all times.
A classic theorem in the theory of connections on principal fiber bundles states that the evaluation of all holonomy functions gives enough information to characterize the bundle structure (among those sharing the same structure group and base manifold) and the connection up to a bundle equivalence map. This result and other important properties of holonomy functions has encouraged their use as the primary ingredient for the construction of families of quantum gauge theories. However, in these applications often the set of holonomy functions used is a discrete proper subset of the set of holonomy functions needed for the characterization theorem to hold. We show that the evaluation of a discrete set of holonomy functions does not characterize the bundle and does not constrain the connection modulo gauge appropriately. We exhibit a discrete set of functions of the connection and prove that in the abelian case their evaluation characterizes the bundle structure (up to equivalence), and constrains the connection modulo gauge up to local details ignored when working at a given scale. The main ingredient is the Lie algebra valued curvature function $F_S (A)$ defined below. It covers the holonomy function in the sense that $exp{F_S (A)} = {rm Hol}(l= partial S, A)$.
In the first part of this paper, we develop the theory of anisotropic curvature measures for convex bodies in the Euclidean space. It is proved that any convex body whose boundary anisotropic curvature measure equals a linear combination of other lower order anisotropic curvature measures with nonnegative coefficients is a scaled Wulff shape. This generalizes the classical results by Schneider [Comment. Math. Helv. textbf{54} (1979), 42--60] and by Kohlmann [Arch. Math. (Basel) textbf{70} (1998), 250--256] to the anisotropic setting. The main ingredients in the proof are the generalized anisotropic Minkowski formulas and an inequality of Heintze--Karcher type for convex bodies. In the second part, we consider the volume preserving flow of smooth closed convex hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with speed given by a positive power $alpha $ of the $k$th anisotropic mean curvature plus a global term chosen to preserve the enclosed volume of the evolving hypersurfaces. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is strictly convex, then the solution of the flow exists for all time and converges to the Wulff shape in the Hausdorff sense. The characterization theorem for Wulff shapes via the anisotropic curvature measures will be used crucially in the proof of the convergence result. Moreover, in the cases $k=1$, $n$ or $alphageq k$, we can further improve the Hausdorff convergence to the smooth and exponential convergence.
In this paper we analyze the behavior of the distance function under Ricci flows whose scalar curvature is uniformly bounded. We will show that on small time-intervals the distance function is $frac12$-Holder continuous in a uniform sense. This implies that the distance function can be extended continuously up to the singular time.
