Inverse mean curvature flow for spacelike graphic hypersurfaces with boundary in Lorentz-Minkowski space ${\mathbb{R}}_1^{n+1}$

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the evolution of spacelike graphic hypersurfaces defined over a convex piece of hyperbolic plane ${\mathcal{H}}^n(1)$, of center at origin and radius $1$, in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space ${\mathbb{R}}_1^{n+1}$ along the inverse mean curvature flow with the vanishing Neumann boundary condition, and prove that this flow exists for all the time. Moreover, we can show that, after suitable rescaling, the evolving spacelike graphic hypersurfaces converge smoothly to a piece of hyperbolic plane of center at origin and prescribed radius, which actually corresponds to a constant function defined over the piece of ${\mathcal{H}}^n(1)$, as time tends to infinity.
