Talk
The Willmore flow
Ernst Kuwert
23 Nov 2006, 11:30
The talks discusses the motion of curves and surfaces by the negative gradient of the total squared curvature integral, reporting on results which have been obtained with Reiner Schaetzle (Tuebingen) in the past years. Despite of the progress, many global questions for these flows are not well understood.
