A relation between the cylindric fluid membranes and the motions of planar curves. (English) Zbl 1375.53005

Summary: We observe a relation between the mKdV equation and the cylindrical equilibrium shapes of fluid membranes. In our setup mKdV arises from the study of the evolution of planar curves.
