Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

We consider the energy critical Schrödinger map $\partial_{t} u = u \land Δ u$ to the 2-sphere for equivariant initial data of homotopy number $k = 1$ . We show the existence of a set of smooth initial data arbitrarily close to the ground state harmonic map $Q_{1}$ in the scale invariant norm ${\dot{H}}^{1}$ which generate finite time blow up solutions. We give in addition a sharp description of the corresponding singularity formation which occurs by concentration of a universal bubble of energy

u (t, x) - e^{Θ^{⁎} R} Q_{1} (\frac{x}{λ (t)}) \to u^{⁎} in {\dot{H}}^{1} as t \to T

where

Θ^{⁎} \in R

,

u^{⁎} \in {\dot{H}}^{1}

, R is a rotation and the concentration rate is given for some

κ (u) > 0

by

λ (t) = κ (u) \frac{T - t}{{| \log (T - t) |}^{2}} (1 + o (1)) as t \to T .

Nous considérons lʼapplication de Schrödinger sur la 2-sphère énergie critique $\partial_{t} u = u \land Δ u$ pour des données initiales à symétrie équivariante et de degré $k = 1$ . Nous exhibons un ensemble de données initiales régulières arbitrairement proches dans la topologie invariante dʼéchelle ${\dot{H}}^{1}$ de lʼapplication harmonique dʼénergie minimale $Q_{1}$ qui engendrent des solutions explosives en temps fini. Nous donnons une description fine de la formation de singularité qui correspond à la concentration dʼune bulle universelle dʼénergie

u (t, x) - e^{Θ^{⁎} R} Q_{1} (\frac{x}{λ (t)}) \to u^{⁎} in {\dot{H}}^{1}

où

Θ^{⁎} \in R

,

u^{⁎} \in {\dot{H}}^{1}

, R est une rotation et la vitesse de concentration est donnée pour une certain

κ (u) > 0

par :

λ (t) = κ (u) \frac{T - t}{{| \log (T - t) |}^{2}} (1 + o (1)) quand t \to T .
