The curve shortening flow with density of a spherical curve in codimension two
In the present paper we carry out a systematic study about the flow of a spherical curve by the mean curvature flow with density in a 3-dimensional rotationally symmetric space with density $(M^3_w,\:g_w,\:ξ)$ where the density $ξ$ decomposes as sum of a radial part $φ$ and an angular part $ψ$. We analyse how either the parabolicity or the hyperbolicity of $(M^3_w,\:g_w)$ condition the behaviour of the flow when the solution goes to infinity.
