We prove the existence of a unique global weak solution to the full bosonic string heat flow from closed Riemannian surfaces to an arbitrary target under smallness conditions on the two-form and the scalar potential. The solution is smooth…

We study the action of the full bosonic string for the domain being two-dimensional Minkowski space and the target a Riemannian manifold. Its critical points couple the wave map equation to a scalar and a two-form potential. Besides…

In this article, we study the the harmonic map heat flow from a manifold with conic singularities to a closed manifold. In particular, we have proved the short time existence and uniqueness of solutions as well as the existence of global…

We introduce and study a conformal heat flow of harmonic maps defined by an evolution equation for a pair consisting of a map and a conformal factor of metric on the two-dimensional domain. This flow is designed to postpone finite time…

We study the heat flow of p-harmonic maps between complete Riemannian manifolds. We prove the global existence of the flow when the initial datum has values in a generalised regular ball. In particular, if the target manifold has…

Motivated by emerging applications from imaging processing, the heat flow of a generalized $p$-harmonic map into spheres is studied for the whole spectrum, $1\leq p<\infty$, in a unified framework. The existence of global weak solutions is…

Using the interpretation of the half-Laplacian on $S^1$ as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for the Laplace equation on the ball $B$, we devise a classical approach to the heat flow for half-harmonic maps from $S^1$ to a closed target…

We consider the harmonic map heat flow for maps from the plane to the two-sphere. It is known that solutions to the initial value problem exhibit bubbling along a well-chosen sequence of times. We prove that every sequence of times admits a…

We deform a map into a Riemannian manifold that is horizontal with respect to a submersion onto a non-positively curved manifold and satisfies a Chow condition into a harmonic one through a horizontal homotopy.

We adopt the Koch-Tataru theory for the Navier-Stokes equations, based on Carleson measure estimates, to develop a scaling-critical low-regularity framework for half-harmonic map heat flows. This nonlocal variant of the harmonic map heat…

We investigate the control problem of harmonic map heat flow by means of an external magnetic field. In contrast to the situation of a parabolic system with internal or boundary control, the magnetic field acts as the coefficients of the…

In this paper we develop new methods for studying the convergence problem for the heat flow on negatively curved spaces and prove that any quasiconformal map of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, $n\geq 3$, can be extended to the…

We consider the harmonic heat flow for maps from a compact Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold that is complete and of non-positive curvature. We prove that if the harmonic heat flow converges to a limiting harmonic map that is a…

We define and study the harmonic heat flow for almost complex structures which are compatible with a Riemannian structure $(M, g)$. This is a tensor-valued version of harmonic map heat flow. We prove that if the initial almost complex…

We study the interaction of several types of static straight cosmic strings, including local strings, global strings, and bosonic superconducting strings with and without magnetic currents. First, we evaluate the interaction energy of two…

We study m-corotational solutions to the Harmonic Map Heat Flow from $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{S}^2$. We first consider maps of zero topological degree, with initial energy below the threshold given by twice the energy of the harmonic map…

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,…

In this paper we introduce and study a geometric heat flow to find Killing vector fields on closed Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. We study its various properties, prove the global existence of the solution of this…

We describe the stress energy of a fluid with two unequal stresses and heat flow in terms of two perfect fluid components. The description is in terms of the fluid velocity overlap of the components, and makes no assumptions about the…

We investigate the well-posedness of (i) the heat flow of harmonic maps from $R^n$ to a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary for initial data in BMO; and (ii) the hydrodynamic flow $(u,d)$ of nematic liquid crystals on $\mathbb R^n$…
