Infinite time blow-up for half-harmonic map flow from $\mathbb{R}$ into $\mathbb{S}^1$
Abstract
We study infinite time blow-up phenomenon for the half-harmonic map flow \begin{equation}\label{e:main00} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_t = -(-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}}u + \left(\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{|u(x)-u(s)|^2}{|x-s|^2}ds\right)u\quad\text{ in }\mathbb{R}\times (0, \infty), u(\cdot, 0) = u_0\quad\text{ in }\mathbb{R}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} with a function . Let be distinct points in , there exist an initial datum and smooth functions , , as , , such that the solution of Problem (\ref{e:main00}) has the form \begin{equation*} u_q =\omega_\infty +\sum_{j= 1}^k \left(\omega (\frac{x-\xi_j(t)}{\mu_j(t)} )-\omega_\infty \right)+\theta(x, t), \end{equation*} where is the canonical least energy half-harmonic map, , as , uniformly away from the points . In addition, the parameter functions decay to exponentially.
