Abstract:

The horizontal mean curvature flow is a geometric evolution associated with the horizontal perimeter in sub-Riemannian spaces. In this paper, we introduce a minimizing movement scheme for this flow in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$, and prove the existence of a flat flow which is locally $1/2$-Hölder continuous in time, with respect to the $L^1$-distance. The construction applies to arbitrary bounded sets of finite horizontal perimeter and does not require smoothness or symmetry of the initial datum.
