Finite‐time degeneration for variants of Teichmüller harmonic map flow

We consider the question of whether solutions of variants of Teichmüller harmonic map flow from surfaces 𝑀 to general targets can degenerate in finite time. For the original flow from closed surfaces of genus at least 2, as well as the flow from cylinders, we prove that such a finite‐time degenera...
