Evolution equations for normalized mean curvature flow

221 Views Asked by At

Picture below is from 260th page of G. Huisken's Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres.

First, I think it should be $$\widetilde h_{ij}(x,\widetilde t)=\psi(\widetilde t) h_{ij}(x,\widetilde t).$$

Second, I don't know how to differentiate (14). Consider locally, then $$ \int_{\widetilde U_t} d\widetilde\mu=\int_{\widetilde F(U,t)}\sqrt {\widetilde g(x,t)} dS=\int_{\psi(t) F(U,t)} \psi(t)\sqrt{g(x,t)} dS $$ Then I am not sure how to proceed.

Just one way of all, and there should be some way is more easy. In fact , the area of $M_t$ is $$ \int_U \sqrt {\widetilde g} dx =\int _U\psi\sqrt g dx $$ Then $$ 0=\partial_t \int _U\psi\sqrt g dx =\psi '\int\sqrt g+ \psi\int -\frac{1}{n}H^2\sqrt g $$ So $$ \frac{\psi'}{\psi}=\frac{1}{n}\frac{\int H^2\sqrt g}{\int\sqrt g} $$
