Quantitative Alexandrov theorem and asymptotic behavior of the volume preserving mean curvature flow (2005.13800v1)

Abstract: We prove a new quantitative version of the Alexandrov theorem which states that if the mean curvature of a regular set in R^{n+1} is close to a constant in L^{n}-sense, then the set is close to a union of disjoint balls with respect to the Hausdorff distance. This result is more general than the previous quantifications of the Alexandrov theorem and using it we are able to show that in R^2 and R^3 a weak solution of the volume preserving mean curvature flow starting from a set of finite perimeter asymptotically convergences to a disjoint union of equisize balls, up to possible translations. Here by weak solution we mean a flat flow, obtained via the minimizing movements scheme.
