Limiting behaviour of the Teichmuller harmonic map flow
In this thesis we study two problems related to the Teichm�uller harmonic map flow, a flow introduced in [21], which aims to deform maps from closed surfaces into closed Riemannian targets of general dimension into branched minimal immersions. It arises as a gradient flow for the energy functional w...
