ABSTRACT: In their well-known paper (Ann. Math. 1981), Sacks and
Uhlenbeck proposed a family of the perturbed functional (now called the
Sacks and Uhlenbeck functional) to establish many existence results of
minimizers in a given homotopy class of maps. In this talk, we study an
alpha-flow for the Sacks-Uhlenbeck functional on Riemannian surfaces
and prove that the limiting map by the alpha-flow is a weak solution to
the harmonic map flow. By an application of the alpha-flow, we present
a simple proof of an energy identity of a minimizing sequence in each
homotopy class.
