Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the regularized conformal heat flow of nn-harmonic maps, or simply regularized nn-conformal heat flow from nn-dimensional Riemannian manifold. This is a system of evolution equations combined with regularized nn-harmonic map flow and a metric evolution equation in conformal direction. For n=2n=2, the conformal heat flow does not develop finite time singularity unlike usual harmonic map flow \cite{P23} (Park, 2024). In this paper, we show the analogous result, that regularized nn-conformal heat flow does not develop finite time singularity unlike the (regularized) nn-harmonic map flow.
