The examples converge to a totally geodesic submanifold of any dimension from 1 to $n$, and include cases which exist for infinite time. Convergence to a point was studied by Andrews, and only occurs in finite time. For dimension $n=2,$ the destiny of any harmonic mean curvature flow is strongly influenced by the genus of the surface $M^2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-09-24T20:43:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K15", "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "riemannian manifold", "hypersurfaces flowing", "harmonic mean curvature flow", "dimensional hyperbolic manifold", "examples converge" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0904.1255G" } } }
