The heat flow for the full bosonic string
Volker Branding
We study harmonic maps from surfaces coupled to a scalar and a two-form potential, which arise as critical points of the action of the full bosonic string. We investigate several a…
An estimate on the nodal set of eigenspinors on closed surfaces
Volker Branding
We use a modified Bochner technique to derive an inequality relating the nodal set of eigenspinors to eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on closed surfaces. In addition, we apply th…
Energy estimates for the supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model and applications
Volker Branding
We derive gradient and energy estimates for critical points of the full supersymmetric sigma model and discuss several applications.
The normalized second order renormalization group flow on closed surfaces
Volker Branding
We study a normalized version of the second order renormalization group flow on closed Riemannian surfaces. We discuss some general properties of this flow and establish several ba…
