Resumen
© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 2-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere S2, ut=Δu+|∇u|2uinΩ×(0,T)u=φon∂Ω×(0,T)u(·,0)=u0inΩ,where Ω is a bounded, smooth domain in R2, u: Ω × (0 , T) → S2, u: Ω ¯ → S2 is smooth, and φ= u| ∂ Ω. Given any k points q1, … , qk in the domain, we find initial and boundary data so that the solution blows-up precisely at those points. The profile around each point is close to an asymptotically singular scaling of a 1-corotational harmonic map. We build a continuation after blow-up as a H1-weak solution with a finite number of discontinuities in space–time by “reverse bubbling”, which preserves the homotopy class of the solution after blow-up. Furthermore, we prove the codimension one stability of the one point blow-up phenomenon.
