Multilinear Evolution Equations for Time-Harmonic Flows

Abstract

It is shown that time-harmonic hypersurface motions in various, conformally flat, N-dimensional manifolds admit a multilinear description, dL/dt={ L, M_1, ... , M_{N-2} }, automatically generating infinitely many conserved quantities, as well as leading to new (integrable) matrix equations. Interestingly, the conformal factor can be changed without changing L.
