Mean curvature flow with flat normal bundles

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

We show that flatness of the normal bundle is preserved under the mean curvature flow in the Euclidean space and use this to generalize a classical result for hypersurfaces due to Ecker-Huisken in the case of submanifolds with arbitrary codimension.
