Solitons to Mean Curvature Flow in the hyperbolic 3-space

We consider {translators} (i.e., initial condition of translating solitons) to mean curvature flow (MCF) in the hyperbolic $3$-space $\mathbb H^3$, providing existence and classification results. More specifically, we show the existence and uniqueness of two distinct one-parameter families of complete rotational translators in $\mathbb H^3$, one containing catenoid-type translators, and the other parabolic cylindrical ones. We establish a tangency principle for translators in $\mathbb H^3$ and apply it to prove that properly immersed translators to MCF in $\mathbb H^3$ are not cylindrically bounded. As a further application of the tangency principle, we prove that any horoconvex translator which is complete or transversal to the $x_3$-axis is necessarily an open set of a horizontal horosphere. In addition, we classify all translators in $\mathbb H^3$ which have constant mean curvature. We also consider rotators (i.e., initial condition of rotating solitons) to MCF in $\mathbb H^3$ and, after classifying the rotators of constant mean curvature, we show that there exists a one-parameter family of complete rotators which are all helicoidal, bringing to the hyperbolic context a distinguished result by Halldorsson, set in $\mathbb R^3$.

Hypersurfaces of Constant Higher Order Mean Curvature in $M\times\mathbb{R}$

We consider hypersurfaces of products $M\times\mathbb R$ with constant $r$-th mean curvature $H_r\ge 0$ (to be called $H_r$-hypersurfaces), where $M$ is an arbitrary Riemannian $n$-manifold. We develop a general method for constructing them, and employ it to produce many examples for a variety of manifolds $M,$ including all simply connected space forms and the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb F}^m$ (rank $1$ symmetric spaces of noncompact type). We construct and classify complete rotational $H_r(\ge 0)$-hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb F}^m\times\mathbb R$ and in $\mathbb S^n\times\mathbb R$ as well. They include spheres, Delaunay-type annuli and, in the case of $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb F}^m\times\mathbb R,$ entire graphs. We also construct and classify complete $H_r(\ge 0)$-hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{H}_{\mathbb F}^m\times\mathbb R$ which are invariant by either parabolic isometries or hyperbolic translations. We establish a Jellett-Liebmann-type theorem by showing that a compact, connected and strictly convex $H_r$-hypersurface of $\mathbb H^n\times\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb S^n\times\mathbb R$ $(n\ge 3)$ is a rotational embedded sphere. Other uniqueness results for complete $H_r$-hypersurfaces of these ambient spaces are obtained.
