Rigidity in the Harmonic Map Heat Flow
We establish various uniformity properties of the harmonic map heat ow, including uniform convergence in L 2 exponentially as t ! 1, and uniqueness of the positions of bubbles at innnite time. Our hypotheses are that the ow is between 2-spheres, and that the limit map and any bubbles share the same orientation.
متن کاملFormal Asymptotics of Bubbling in the Harmonic Map Heat Flow
The harmonic map heat flow is a model for nematic liquid crystals and also has origins in geometry. We present an analysis of the asymptotic behaviour of singularities arising in this flow for a special class of solutions which generalises a known (radially symmetric) reduction. Specifically, the rate at which blowup occurs is investigated in settings with certain symmetries using the method of...
متن کاملHarmonic Map Heat Flow with Rough Boundary Data
Abstract. Let B1 be the unit open disk in R2 and M be a closed Riemannian manifold. In this note, we first prove the uniqueness for weak solutions of the harmonic map heat flow in H1([0, T ]×B1,M) whose energy is non-increasing in time, given initial data u0 ∈ H(B1,M) and boundary data γ = u0|∂B1 . Previously, this uniqueness result was obtained by Rivière (when M is the round sphere and the en...
متن کاملasymptotics of the Teichmüller harmonic map flow
The Teichmüller harmonic map flow, introduced in [9], evolves both a map from a closed Riemann surface to an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold, and a constant curvature metric on the domain, in order to reduce its harmonic map energy as quickly as possible. In this paper, we develop the geometric analysis of holomorphic quadratic differentials in order to explain what happens in the case th...
متن کاملSelf - shrinkers of Mean Curvature Flow and Harmonic Map Heat Flow with Rough Boundary Data
In this thesis, first, joint with Longzhi Lin, we establish estimates for the harmonic map heat flow from the unit circle into a closed manifold, and use it to construct sweepouts with the following good property: each curve in the tightened sweepout, whose energy is close to the maximal energy of curves in the sweepout, is itself close to a closed geodesic. Second, we prove the uniqueness for ...
