Conjecture on asymptotic convergence for immortal elastic and ideal flows
Conjecture on asymptotic convergence for immortal elastic and ideal flows
Let be an immortal solution of the elastic flow or the ideal flow with generic initial data.
Asymptotic convergence conjecture. The curve converges exponentially fast in the smooth topology to a multiply-covered lemniscate or circle.
This is proposed as an analogue for the elastic and ideal flows of a result cited in the source. It is presented as a future target after the dynamical-stability conjecture and remains open.
