Finite Time Blow-up for Heat Flows of Self-induced Harmonic Maps
摘要
Let Mn be an embedded closed submanifold of ℝk+1 or a smooth bounded domain in ℝn, where n ≥ 3. We show that the local smooth solution to the heat flow of self-induced harmonic map will blow up at a finite time, provided that the initial map u0 is in a suitable nontrivial homotopy class with energy small enough.
