Each hyper-Lagrangian submanifold admits a 2-sphere valued potential map, called the {\\it complex phase}, which evolves according to the generalized harmonic map flow equation. We study the behavior of the mean curvature flow from the view point of the harmonic map flow theory, and show the long-time existence and exponential convergence to complex submanifolds when the initial Dirichlet energy of the complex phase is very small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-21T16:17:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "53C26" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "compact hyperkähler manifolds", "submanifold", "convergence", "harmonic map flow theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
