The heat flow on manifolds. Existence and uniqueness of harmonic maps into nonpositively curved image manifolds

  • Jürgen Jost

Abstract

In order to warm up, we shall first present the linear case, i.e. look at
$$\frac{{\partial \alpha (x,t)}}{{\partial t}} - {\Delta ^ - }\alpha (x,t) = 0$$
(3.1.1)
$$\alpha (x,0) = {\alpha _0}(x)$$
(3.1.2)
where 0 ≤ t < ∞, xN, where N is a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n, and α(·, t) and α 0 are k-forms on N.
