We discuss singularities of Teichmüller harmonic map flow, which is a geometric flow that changes maps from surfaces into branched minimal immersions, and explain in particular how winding singularities of the map component can lead to singular behaviour of the metric component.
This video is part of the Institute for Advanced Study‘s Workshop on Geometric Functionals: Analysis and Applications.
