evolution of the metric is given by

= -H ID ax v, ax) -H I ax' Dax v)
\ axi axJ \ axi axj
= -2Hhij,

where we used (v, g;;) = ( g;, v) = 0. This is (B.13).


Since ( ~ , v) = 0 and.


o =gt (v, ~;) = ( D8aYf v, ~~) + \v, Dg; (-Hv))


= / \ Daxv, at ~X:)-uxi ~~' uxi


the normal v evolves by


.. aHaX
(B.19) Daxv at = lJ~~ uxi uxJ = \!H,

where \1 His the gradient on the hypersurface of H. This is (B.14).


The evolution of the second fundamental form is (we use [^88 1, g;;] = 0)


~ hij = - ~ / DQK. ~X:, v)
