We show that if the initial hypersurface $Σ$ is strictly mean convex and star-shaped, then the flow hypersurface $Σ_t$ converges to a large coordinate sphere as $t\rightarrow \infty$ exponentially. We also describe an a…

We consider inverse curvature flows in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space, $n\geq 2,$ expanding by arbitrary negative powers of a 1-homogeneous, monotone curvature function $F$ with some concavity properties. We obtain asymptotical roundness, meaning that circumradius minus inradius of the flow hypersurfaces decay…

We construct a solution to inverse mean curvature flow on an asymptotically hyperbolic 3-manifold which does not have the convergence properties needed in order to prove a Penrose--type inequality. This contrasts sharply with the asymptotically flat case. The main idea consists in combining inverse mean curvature flow …

We study inverse mean curvature flows of starshaped, mean convex hypersurfaces in warped product manifolds with a positive warping factor $\varphi(r)$. If $\varphi'(r)>0$ and $\varphi''(r)\geq 0$, we show that these flows exist for all times, remain starshaped and mean convex. Plus the positivity of $\varphi''(r)$ and …
