  • Beschreibung: <p>It is proven that whenever a closed curve evolving by an arbitrary uniformly parabolic equation γt = V(T,k)N on a Riemannian manifold M develops a singularity, it either shrinks to a point or loses a self intersection. To aid in the calculations, it is first shown that locally it is enough to consider the ℝ2 case. Given a local conformal map from a neighborhood of M into another manifold M′ (which we later set to ℝ2), the image on M′ of γ also obeys an arbitrary uniformly parabolic equation.</p>
