Foliation of constant harmonic mean curvature surfaces in asymptotic Schwarzschild spaces

Abstract: This paper investigates the volume-preserving harmonic mean curvature flow in asymptotically Schwarzschild spaces. We demonstrate the long-time existence and exponential convergence of this flow with a coordinate sphere of large radius serving as the initial surface in the asymptotically flat end, which eventually converges to a constant harmonic mean curvature surface. We also establish that these surfaces form a foliation of the space outside a large ball. Finally, we utilize this foliation to define the center of mass, proving that it agrees with the center of mass defined by the ADM formulation of the initial data set.
