Two-dimensional harmonic map heat flow versus four-dimensional Yang-Mills heat flow
[ 講演概要 ]
Harmonic map heat flow and Yang-Mills heat flow are the gradient flows associated to particular energy functionals. In the considered dimension, (i.e. dimension two for the harmonic map heat flow, dimension four for the Yang-Mills heat flow), the associated energy functional is (locally) conformally invariant, that is, the dimension is critical. This leads to a number of interesting phenomena when considering both the functionals and the associated flows. In this talk we discuss qualitative similarities and differences between the flows.
