Convergence of Gauss curvature flows to translating solitons

Abstract

We address the asymptotic behavior of the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow, for $\alpha >1/2$, with initial data a complete non-compact convex hypersurface which is contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. We show that the flow converges, as $t \to +\infty$, locally smoothly to a translating soliton which is uniquely determined by the asymptotic cylinder of the initial hypersurface.
