We prove the existence of equivariant finite time blow up solutions for the wave map problem from 2+1 dimensions into the 2-sphere. These solutions are the sum of a dynamically rescaled ground-state harmonic map plus a radiation term. The…

We consider the energy-critical (corotational) 1-equivariant wave maps into the two-sphere. By the seminal work [53] of Rapha\"el and Rodnianski, there is an open set of initial data whose forward-in-time development blows up in finite time…

We consider finite-time and $k$-equivariant solutions to the harmonic map heat flow from $B^2$ to $S^2$ under general time-dependent boundary data and prove that the bubble tree decomposition contains only one bubble. The method relies on…

We consider wave maps from $\mathbb R^{2+1}$ to a $C^\infty$-smooth Riemannian manifold, $\mathcal N$. Such maps can exhibit energy concentration, and at points of concentration, it is known that the map (suitably rescaled and translated)…
