We analyze the finite-time blow-up of solutions of the heat flow for $k$-corotational maps $\mathbb R^d\to S^d$. For each dimension $d>2+k(2+2\sqrt{2})$ we construct a countable family of blow-up solutions via a method of matched…

A finite-time singularity of 2D harmonic map flow will be called "strictly type-II" if the outer energy scale satisfies $\lambda(t) = O(T - t)^{\frac{1 + \alpha}{2}}.$ We prove that the body map at a strict type-II blowup is H\"older…
