Abstract

In this article we investigate length decreasing maps (Forrmula presented.) between Riemannian manifolds (Forrmula presented.), (Forrmula presented.) of dimensions (Forrmula presented.) and (Forrmula presented.), respectively. Assuming that (Forrmula presented.) is compact and (Forrmula presented.) is complete such that (Forrmula presented.)where (Forrmula presented.), (Forrmula presented.) are positive constants, we show that the mean curvature flow provides a smooth homotopy of (Forrmula presented.) into a constant map.
