Horizontal Gauss Curvature Flow of Graphs in Carnot Groups
Abstract
Description
We show the existence of continuous viscosity solutions to the equation describing the flow of a graph in the Carnot group G x R according to its horizontal Gauss curvature. In doing so, we prove a comparison principle for degenerate parabolic equations of the form u_t + F(D_0u, (D_0^2u)^*) = 0 for u defined on G.
