Local well-posedness of skew mean curvature flow for small data in $dgeq 4$ dimensions


Abstract in English

The skew mean curvature flow is an evolution equation for $d$ dimensional manifolds embedded in $mathbb{R}^{d+2}$ (or more generally, in a Riemannian manifold). It can be viewed as a Schrodinger analogue of the mean curvature flow, or alternatively as a quasilinear version of the Schrodinger Map equation. In this article, we prove small data local well-posedness in low-regularity Sobolev spaces for the skew mean curvature flow in dimension $dgeq 4$.
