Complete \(\lambda \)-hypersurfaces of weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow (Q1751570)

A smooth immersed hypersurface \(X:M\to\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) in the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Euclidean space is called a self-shrinker if \[ H+\langle X,N\rangle=0, \] where \(H\) and \(N\) denote the mean curvature and the unit normal vector of \(X\), respectively, and \(\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle\) denotes the standard inner product in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\). Self-shrinkers play an important role in the study of the mean curvature flow because they describe all possible blow-ups at a given singularity of the flow. In this paper, the authors introduce a special class of hypersurface satisfying \[ \left\langle\frac{X-x_0}{t_0},N\right\rangle+H=\lambda \] for \(x_0\in\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\), \(t_0,\lambda\in\mathbb{R}\), called a \(\lambda\)-hypersurface of the weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow, which is a generalization of the self-shrinker. They prove that \(\lambda\)-hypersurfaces are critical points of the weighted area functional for the weighted volume-preserving variations. Furthermore, they classify complete \(\lambda\)-hypersurfaces with polynomial area growth and \(H-\lambda\geq 0\), which generalizes results of \textit{G. Huisken} [J. Differ. Geom. 31, No. 1, 285--299 (1990; Zbl 0694.53005)] and \textit{T. H. Colding} and \textit{W. P. Minicozzi II} [Ann. Math. (2) 175, No. 2, 755--833 (2012; Zbl 1239.53084)].
