Teichmüller harmonic map flow into nonpositively curved targets

The Teichmüller harmonic map flow deforms both a map from an oriented closed surface M into an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold, and a constant curvature metric on M, so as to reduce the energy of the map as quickly as possible [16]. The flow then tries to converge to a branched minimal immersio...
