Contraction of tensor by metric in mean curvature flow

34 Views Asked by At

Picture below is from the 255th page of Huisken, Gerhard, Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres, J. Differ. Geom. 20, 237-266 (1984). ZBL0556.53001.

In my view,
$$ A*\nabla A = g^{ia}h_{ij}\nabla _a h_{bc} \tag{1} $$ and $$ g^{il}\nabla_j(Hh_{kl})= g^{il}h_{kl}\nabla _j H + g^{il}H\nabla _j h_{kl} \\ =g^{il}g^{ab}h_{kl}\nabla _j h_{ab} + g^{il}g^{ab}h_{ab}\nabla _{j}h_{kl} \tag{2} $$ I think the (2) has different from with (1). So, how to understand the step of red line in picture ?
