We consider the Landau-Lifshitz equations of ferromagnetism (including the harmonic map heat-flow and Schroedinger flow as special cases) for degree m equivariant maps from R^2 to S^2. If m \geq 3, we prove that near-minimal energy…

In this paper we introduce conformal heat flow of (extrinsic) biharmonic maps on $4$-manifold, simply called bi-conformal heat flow (bi-CHF), and study its properties. Similar to other CHF of harmonic maps and regularized $n$-harmonic maps,…

J.-M. Coron proved in [5] that the global weak solutions of the heat flow from $M$ to $N$, starting at non-stationary weakly harmonic maps, are not unique when $M = B^3$ and $N = S^2$. Hence, the semigroup property of the solution map does…

For Schr\"odinger maps from $\R^2\times\R^+$ to the 2-sphere $\S^2$, it is not known if finite energy solutions can form singularities (``blowup'') in finite time. We consider equivariant solutions with energy near the energy of the…

In this paper, we study an $\alpha$-flow for the Sack-Uhlenbeck functional on Riemannian surfaces and prove that the limiting map by the $\alpha$-flows is a weak solution to the harmonic map flow. By an application of the $\alpha$-flow, we…

We introduce a rectified $n$-harmonic map flow from an n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold to another closed Riemannian manifold. We prove existence of a global solution, which is regular except for a finite number of points, of the…

We prove the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow with some small initial curvature conditions. As applications, we discuss the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow when the complex structure varies on a K\"ahler-Einstein manifold.

It is known that there is a bijection between the perturbed closed geodesics, below a given energy level, on the moduli space of flat connections M and families of perturbed Yang-Mills connections depending on a small parameter. In this…

We consider in dimension four weakly convergent sequences of approximate biharmonic maps to a Riemannian manifold with bi-tension fields bounded in $L^p$ for $p>\frac43$. We prove an energy identity that accounts for the loss of hessian…

We analyse finite-time singularities of the Teichm\"uller harmonic map flow -- a natural gradient flow of the harmonic map energy -- and find a canonical way of flowing beyond them in order to construct global solutions in full generality.…

A Hamiltonian six-field gyrofluid model is constructed, based on closure relations derived from the so-called "quasi-static" gyrokinetic linear theory where the fields are assumed to propagate with a parallel phase velocity much smaller…
