Flowing maps to minimal surfaces
- Abstract:
-
We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal surfaces. In the genus 0 case, our flow is just the harmonic map flow, and it tries to find branched minimal 2-spheres as in Sacks-Uhlenbeck (1981) and Struwe (1985), etc. In the genus 1 case, we show that our flow is exactly equivalent to that considered by D...
