In this paper, we study flows of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space, and apply them to prove geometric inequalities. In the first part of the paper, we consider volume preserving flows by a family of curvature functions including positive powers of $k$-th mean curvatures with $k=1,cdots,n$, and positive powers of $p$-th power sums $S_p$ with $p>0$. We prove that if the initial hypersurface $M_0$ is smooth and closed and has positive sectional curvatures, then the solution $M_t$ of the flow has positive sectional curvature for any time $t>0$, exists for all time and converges to a geodesic sphere exponentially in the smooth topology. The convergence result can be used to show that certain Alexandrov-Fenchel quermassintegral inequalities, known previously for horospherically convex hypersurfaces, also hold under the weaker condition of positive sectional curvature. In the second part of this paper, we study curvature flows for strictly horospherically convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with speed given by a smooth, symmetric, increasing and homogeneous degree one function $f$ of the shifted principal curvatures $lambda_i=kappa_i-1$, plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint on the quermassintegrals of the enclosed domain, where $f$ is assumed to satisfy a certain condition on the second derivatives. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is smooth, closed and strictly horospherically convex, then the solution of the flow exists for all time and converges to a geodesic sphere exponentially in the smooth topology. As applications of the convergence result, we prove a new rigidity theorem on smooth closed Weingarten hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space, and a new class of Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities for smooth horospherically convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space.

We consider the quermassintegral preserving flow of closed emph{h-convex} hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with the speed given by any positive power of a smooth symmetric, strictly increasing, and homogeneous of degree one function $f$ of the princ ipal curvatures which is inverse concave and has dual $f_*$ approaching zero on the boundary of the positive cone. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is emph{h-convex}, then the solution of the flow becomes strictly emph{h-convex} for $t>0$, the flow exists for all time and converges to a geodesic sphere exponentially in the smooth topology.
This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension $n(geq 2)$ in the hyperbolic space ${mathbb{H}}_{kappa}^{n+1}$ of constant sectional curvature $kappa$ evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed is given by a power $beta (geq 1/ m)$ of the $m$th mean curvature plus a volume preserving term, including the case of powers of the mean curvature and of the $mbox{Gauss}$ 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 $n$, $m$, $beta$ and $kappa$, 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 ${mathbb{H}}_{kappa}^{n+1}$, enclosing the same volume as the initial hypersurface.
The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequality bounds from below the square of the mixed volume $V(K_1,K_2,K_3,ldots,K_n)$ of convex bodies $K_1,ldots,K_n$ in $mathbb{R}^n$ by the product of the mixed volumes $V(K_1,K_1,K_3,ldots,K_n)$ and $V(K_2,K_2,K_3,ldots,K _n)$. As a consequence, for integers $alpha_1,ldots,alpha_minmathbb{N}$ with $alpha_1+cdots+alpha_m=n$ the product $V_n(K_1)^{frac{alpha_1}{n}}cdots V_n(K_m)^{frac{alpha_m}{n}} $ of suitable powers of the volumes $V_n(K_i)$ of the convex bodies $K_i$, $i=1,ldots,m$, is a lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K_1[alpha_1],ldots,K_m[alpha_m])$, where $alpha_i$ is the multiplicity with which $K_i$ appears in the mixed volume. It has been conjectured by Ulrich Betke and Wolfgang Weil that there is a reverse inequality, that is, a sharp upper bound for the mixed volume $V(K_1[alpha_1],ldots,K_m[alpha_m])$ in terms of the product of the intrinsic volumes $V_{alpha_i}(K_i)$, for $i=1,ldots,m$. The case where $m=2$, $alpha_1=1$, $alpha_2=n-1$ has recently been settled by the present authors (2020). The case where $m=3$, $alpha_1=alpha_2=1$, $alpha_3=n-2$ has been treated by Artstein-Avidan, Florentin, Ostrover (2014) under the assumption that $K_2$ is a zonoid and $K_3$ is the Euclidean unit ball. The case where $alpha_2=cdots=alpha_m=1$, $K_1$ is the unit ball and $K_2,ldots,K_m$ are zonoids has been considered by Hug, Schneider (2011). Here we substantially generalize these previous contributions, in cases where most of the bodies are zonoids, and thus we provide further evidence supporting the conjectured reverse Alexandrov--Fenchel inequality. The equality cases in all considered inequalities are characterized. More generally, stronger stability results are established as well.

We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed given by a power of the $k$-th mean curvature $E_k$ plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume $V_{n+1}$ and the m ixed volume $V_{n+1-k}$ of the evolving hypersurface. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is strictly convex, then the solution of the flow exists for all time and converges to a round sphere smoothly. No curvature pinching assumption is required on the initial hypersurface.

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 low er 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.
