We construct a one parameter family of finite time blow ups to the co-rotational wave maps problem from $S^2\times \RR$ to $S^2,$ parameterized by $\nu\in(1/2,1].$ The longitudinal function $u(t,\alpha)$ which is the main object of study…

For Schr\"odinger maps from $\R^2\times\R^+$ to the 2-sphere $\S^2$, it is not known if finite energy solutions can form singularities (``blowup'') in finite time. We consider equivariant solutions with energy near the energy of the…
