Abstract
If L ⊂ M is a Legendre submanifold in a Sasaki manifold, then the mean curvature flow does not preserve the Legendre condition. We define a kind of mean curvature flow for Legendre submanifolds which slightly differs from the standard one and then we prove that closed Legendre curves L in a Sasaki space form M converge to closed Legendre geodesics, if k2 + σ + 3 ≤ 0 and rot(L) = 0, where σ denotes the sectional curvature of the contact plane ξ and k and rot(L) are the curvature respectively the rotation number of L. If rot(L) ≠ 0, we obtain convergence of a subsequence to Legendre curves with constant curvature. In case σ + 3 ≤ 0 and if the Legendre angle α of the initial curve satisfies osc (α) ≤ π, then we also prove convergence to a closed Legendre geodesic.
