Abstract

Mathematics Mathematics, Applied Physical Sciences Science & Technology
In this article we study the H1-gradient flow for the energy E[X] given by the quotient of the Dirichlet energy and the signed enclosed area of an H1 map X : S -> R2. We prove that solutions with initially positive signed enclosed area exist eternally, and converge as t -> infinity to a (possibly multiply-covered) circle. In this way we recover an improved parametrised isoperimetric inequality for H1 maps.
