Abstract

Following similar results in arXiv:1301.5934 for flat tori and round spheres, in this paper is presented a proof of the fact that, for "arbitrary" initial conditions f0f_0, the solution ftf_t at time tt of the heat equation on real or complex projective spaces eventually becomes (and remains) a minimal Morse function. Furthermore, it is shown that the solution becomes stable.
