We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Prescribing the Maslov form of Lagrangian graphs
Knut Smoczyk
Abstract
We formulate and apply a modified Lagrangian mean curvature flow to prescribe the Maslov form of a Lagrangian graph in flat cotangent bundles. We prove longtime existence results based on a new energy estimate. In addition we derive miscellaneous results both for the Lagrangian mean curvature flow and the modified flow. Examples and counterexamples are given.
