Heat equation and stable minimal Morse functions on real and complex projective spaces
Following similar results in arXiv:1301.5934 for flat tori and round spheres, in this paper is presented a proof of the fact that, for "arbitrary" initial conditions $f_0$, the solution $f_t$ at time $t$ of the heat equation on real or complex projective spaces eventually becomes (and remains) a minimal Morse function. Furthermore, it is shown that the solution becomes stable.
