Title:
Spinar Flows with Flux
Speaker:
Abstract:
I will introduce a coupled system of nonlinear heat flows whose critical points are spinors which are parallel with respect to a certain connection with flux. These critical equations are motivated by special holonomy and the equations of motion appearing in supergravity. The flows I will discuss are generalizations of the Ricci flow which are coupled to spinors and differential forms. I will describe the basic properties of these flows, including short time existence and smoothing estimates. This is joint work with D.H. Phong.
