We prove the existence of a (spectrally) stable self-similar blow-up solution $f_0$ to the heat flow for corotational harmonic maps from $mathbb R^3$ to the three-sphere. In particular, our result verifies the spectral gap conjecture stated by one of the authors and lays the groundwork for the proof of the nonlinear stability of $f_0$. At the heart of our analysis lies a new existence result of a monotone self-similar solution $f_0$. Although solutions of this kind have already been constructed before, our approach reveals substantial quantitative properties of $f_0$, leading to the stability result. A key ingredient is the use of interval arithmetic: a rigorous computer-assisted method for estimating functions. It is easy to verify our results by robust numerics but the purpose of the present paper is to provide mathematically rigorous proofs.

We consider the heat flow of corotational harmonic maps from $mathbb R^3$ to the three-sphere and prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of a particular self-similar shrinker that is not known in closed form. Our method provides a novel, systematic, robust, and constructive approach to the stability analysis of self-similar blowup in parabolic evolution equations. In particular, we completely avoid using delicate Lyapunov functionals, monotonicity formulas, indirect arguments, or fragile parabolic structure like the maximum principle. As a matter of fact, our approach reduces the nonlinear stability analysis of self-similar shrinkers to the spectral analysis of the associated self-adjoint linearized operators.
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for an energy-supercritical nonlinear wave equation in odd space dimensions that arises in equivariant Yang-Mills theory. In each dimension, there is a self-similar finite-time blowup solution to this equation known in closed form. It will be proved that this profile is stable in the whole space under small perturbations of the initial data. The blowup analysis is based on a recently developed coordinate system called hyperboloidal similarity coordinates and depends crucially on growth estimates for the free wave evolution, which will be constructed systematically for odd space dimensions in the first part of this paper. This allows to develop a nonlinear stability theory beyond the singularity.
We consider co-rotational wave maps from (1+3)-dimensional Minkowski space into the three-sphere. This model exhibits an explicit blowup solution and we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of this solution in the whole space under small perturbations of the initial data. The key ingredient is the introduction of a novel coordinate system that allows one to track the evolution past the blowup time and almost up to the Cauchy horizon of the singularity. As a consequence, we also obtain a result on continuation beyond blowup.
We study the blowup behavior for the focusing energy-supercritical semilinear wave equation in 3 space dimensions without symmetry assumptions on the data. We prove the stability of the ODE blowup profile.
We will give a new proof of a recent result of P.~Daskalopoulos, G.Huisken and J.R.King ([DH] and reference [7] of [DH]) on the existence of self-similar solution of the inverse mean curvature flow which is the graph of a radially symmetric solution in $mathbb{R}^n$, $nge 2$, of the form $u(x,t)=e^{lambda t}f(e^{-lambda t} x)$ for any constants $lambda>frac{1}{n-1}$ and $mu<0$ such that $f(0)=mu$. More precisely we will give a new proof of the existence of a unique radially symmetric solution $f$ of the equation $mbox{div},left(frac{ abla f}{sqrt{1+| abla f|^2}} right)=frac{1}{lambda}cdotfrac{sqrt{1+| abla f|^2}}{xcdot abla f-f}$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, $f(0)=mu$, for any $lambda>frac{1}{n-1}$ and $mu<0$, which satisfies $f_r(r)>0$, $f_{rr}(r)>0$ and $rf_r(r)>f(r)$ for all $r>0$. We will also prove that $lim_{rtoinfty}frac{rf_r(r)}{f(r)}=frac{lambda (n-1)}{lambda (n-1)-1}$.
