Abstract

We consider the heat flow for harmonic maps from Rm to a compact manifold N. When the Lm norm of the gradient of the initial data is small, we prove the existence of a global solution. We prove a similar result for the boundary value problem, when the boundary of the manifold M maps into a point.
