Finite-time singularity of the stochastic harmonic map flow

Abstract

We investigate the influence of an infinite dimensional Gaussian noise on the bubbling phenomenon for the stochastic harmonic map flow u(t,):D2S2u(t,\cdot ):\mathbb{D}^2\to\mathbb{S}^2, from the two-dimensional unit disc onto the sphere. The diffusion term is assumed to have range one pointwisely in the tangent space Tu(t,x)S2T_{u(t,x)}\mathbb{S}^2, so that the noise preserves the 1-corotational symmetry of solutions. Under the assumption that its space-correlation is of trace class (in some appropriate hilbert space), we prove that the noise generates blow-up with positive probability. This scenario happens no matter how we choose the initial data, provided it fulfills the latter symmetry assumption.
