Long time regularity of the $p$-Gauss curvature flow with flat side

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the long time regularity of the interface in the $p$-Gauss curvature flow with flat side in all dimensions for $p>\frac{1}{n}$. Here the interface is the boundary of the flat part in the flow. In dimension $2$, this problem was solved in \cite{DL2004} for $p=1$ and in \cite{KimLeeRhee2013} for $p\in (1/2,1)$. We utilize the duality method to transform the Gauss curvature flow to a singular parabolic Monge-Ampère equation, and prove the regularity of the interface by studying the asymptotic cone of the parabolic Monge-Ampère equation in the polar coordinates.
