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.

A global weak solution of the Dirac-harmonic map flow
Jürgen Jost, Lei Liu and Miaomiao Zhu
Abstract
We show the existence of a global weak solution of the heat flow for Dirac-harmonic maps from compact Riemann surfaces with boundary when the energy of the initial map and the $L^2-$norm of the boundary values of the spinor are sufficiently small. The solution is unique and regular with the exception of at most finitely many singular times. We also discuss the behavior at the singularities of the flow.
As an application, we deduce some existence results for Dirac-harmonic maps.
