Equivariant mean field flow (1212.1854v1)

Abstract: We consider a gradient flow associated to the mean field equation on $(M,g)$ a compact riemanniann surface without boundary. We prove that this flow exists for all time. Moreover, letting $G$ be a group of isometry acting on $(M,g)$, we obtain the convergence of the flow to a solution of the mean field equation under suitable hypothesis on the orbits of points of $M$ under the action of $G$.
