The Extension of the Hk Mean Curvature Flow in Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, the authors consider a family of smooth immersions Ft : Mn → Nn+1 of closed hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifold Nn+1 with bounded geometry, mov- ing by the Hk mean curvature flow. The authors show that if the second fundamental form stays bounded from below, then the Hk mean curvatur...

Summary:In this paper, the authors consider a family of smooth immersions Ft : Mn → Nn+1 of closed hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifold Nn+1 with bounded geometry, mov- ing by the Hk mean curvature flow. The authors show that if the second fundamental form stays bounded from below, then the Hk mean curvature flow solution with finite total mean curvature on a finite time interval [0, Tmax) can be extended over Tmax. This result gen- eralizes the extension theorems in the paper of Li (see "On an extension of the Hk mean curvature flow, Sci. China Math, 55, 2012, 99-118").
