Abstract

If is a smooth immersed closed hypersurface, we consider the functional

where is a local unit normal vector along , is the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian manifold , with the pull-back metric induced by the immersion and the associated volume measure. We prove that if then the unique globally defined smooth solution to the -gradient flow of , for every initial hypersurface, smoothly converges asymptotically to a critical point of , up to diffeomorphisms. The proof is based on the application of a Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality for the functional .
