Abstract

For any kk-dimensional smooth, compact Riemannian manifold (N,h)RL(N, h)\subset\mathbb R^L without boundary, there exists an ε0>0\varepsilon_0>0 such that for any homogeneous of degree zero map u0(x)=ϕ0(xx):RnNu_0(x)=\phi_0(\frac{x}{|x|}):\mathbb R^n\to N (n2n\ge 2), if ϕ0Ln(Sn1)ε0\|\nabla\phi_0\|_{L^n(\mathbb S^{n-1})}\le\varepsilon_0 then there is a unique solution u:Rn×(0,)Nu:\mathbb R^n\times (0,\infty)\to N to the heat flow of harmonic map \eqref{HF1} and \eqref{IC}, which is forward self-similar and belongs to C(Rn×(0,))C1n(Rn×[0,){(0,0)})C^\infty(\R^n\times (0,\infty))\cap C^{\frac1{n}}(\R^n\times [0,\infty)\setminus \{(0,0)\}).
