Inverse Hessian Curvature Flow in Minkowski Space II: The Dirichlet problem at infinity

Abstract: This paper studies self-shrinkers and the long-time behavior of the inverse $σ_k$ curvature flow for noncompact entire spacelike strictly convex hypersurfaces in Minkowski space. In contrast to the co-compact setting, where the corresponding self-shrinker is rigid, the noncompact problem admits a rich family of self-shrinkers determined by their asymptotic data. More precisely, we formulate the self-shrinker equation as a fully nonlinear Dirichlet problem on hyperbolic space with prescribed data on its ideal boundary, and prove that every continuous negative boundary value determines a unique entire spacelike strictly convex self-shrinker. We further study the inverse $σ_k$ curvature flow starting from an entire spacelike strictly convex hypersurface satisfying a subsolution condition at infinity and a uniform positive lower bound for its $σ_k$ curvature. We prove global existence of the flow and show that the normalized flow converges locally smoothly to the unique self-shrinker with the same prescribed boundary value at infinity.
