Abstract: | Generalizing a result of Freire regarding the uniqueness of the harmonic map flow from surfaces to an arbitrary closed target
manifold N, we show uniqueness of weak solutions u ∈ H
1 under the assumption that any upwards jumps of the energy function are smaller than a geometrical constant , thus establishing a conjecture of Topping, under the sole additional condition that the variation of the energy is locally
