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 = -(-Δ)^{\frac{1}{2}}u + \left(\frac{1}{2π}\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 $u:\mathbb{R}\times [0,\infty )\to {\mathbb{S}}^1$. Let $q_1,\cdots ,q_k$ be distinct points in $\mathbb{R}$, there exist an initial datum $u_0$ and smooth functions ${\xi }_j(t)\to q_j$, $0<{\mu }_j(t)\to 0$, as $t\to +\infty$, $j=1,\cdots ,k$, such that the solution $u_q$ of Problem (\ref{e:main00}) has the form \begin{equation*} u_q =ω_\infty +\sum_{j= 1}^k \left(ω(\frac{x-ξ_j(t)}{μ_j(t)} )-ω_\infty \right)+θ(x, t), \end{equation*} where $\omega$ is the canonical least energy half-harmonic map, ${\omega }_{\infty }=\left(\begin{array}{c}01\end{array}\right)$, $\theta (x,t)\to 0$ as $t\to +\infty$, uniformly away from the points $q_j$. In addition, the parameter functions ${\mu }_j(t)$ decay to $0$ exponentially.
