The landslide flow, introduced in [5], is a smoother analog of the earthquake flow on Teichm\"uller space which shares some of its key properties. We show here that further properties of earthquakes apply to landslides. The landslide flow…

In this paper we consider the evolution of regular closed elastic curves $\gamma$ immersed in $\R^n$. Equipping the ambient Euclidean space with a vector field $\ca:\R^n\rightarrow\R^n$ and a function $f:\R^n\rightarrow\R$, we assume the…

We investigate the harmonic map heat flow from a compact Riemannian manifold \( M \) into the moduli space \( \mathcal{M}_1 \) of unit-area flat tori, which carries a natural hyperbolic structure as the quotient \( \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})…
