Abstract

We derive an upper bound for the radius R(t) of a vanishing bubble in a family of equivariant maps Ft : D2 → S2 which evolve by the harmonic map flow. The self-similar "type 1" radius would be R(t) = C√T-T. WE prove that R(t) = o(T - t). © 2009 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
