"A heat flow for special metrics II"

This is the second talk on the paper of Weiss and Witt 'A heat flow on special metrics'. In this talk, we will implement DeTurck's trick to the Dirichlet flow and show that the resulting equation is parabolic. Then we will focus on the issue of stability around the set of critical points for the Dirichlet functional.
