Eternal forced mean curvature flows III - Morse homology. arXiv:1601.03437
Preprint, arXiv:1601.03437 [math.DG] (2016).
Summary: We complete the theoretical framework required for the construction of a Morse homology theory for certain types of forced mean curvature flows. The main result of this paper describes the asymptotic behaviour of these flows as the forcing term tends to infinity in a certain manner. This result allows the Morse homology to be explicitely calculated, and will permit us to show in forthcoming work that, for a large family of smooth positive functions, \(F\), defined over a \((d+1)\)-dimensional flat torus, there exist at least \(2^{d+1}\) distinct, locally strictly convex, Alexandrov-embedded hyperspheres of mean curvature prescribed at every point by \(F\).
