Asymptotic stability of harmonic maps under the Schrödinger flow. (English) Zbl 1170.35091
The paper aims to report results concerning the presence or absence of the dynamical collapse (blowup in a finite time) of finite-energy two-dimensional vortex solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz equation, which is fundamental equation governing the dynamics of local magnetization ${\bold u}(x,y,t)$ in ferromagnetic media: $$\frac{\partial{\bold u}}{\partial t}= {\bold u}\times\Delta {\bold u},$$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian (two-dimensional, in the present case). Vortex solutions, with integer topological charge $m>0$, are looked for as ${\bold u}=e^{im\theta}{\bold v}(r)$, where $r,\theta$ are the polar coordinates in the plane. The vortex solution decays at $r\to\infty$, essentially, as $r^{-m}$. First, the work produces a proof of theorems stating the local well-posedness and orbital stability of solutions close to the vortices, but only up to the moment of possible blowup (collapse) of the solutions. The main result of the work is a theorem which states the absence of the collapse in solutions close to the vortices with $m\geq 4$. This limitation is imposed by the necessity of a sufficiently quick decay of the unperturbed solution at $r\to\infty$. The situation for the vortices with $1\leq m\leq 3$, and for the zero-vorticity states, with $m=0$, remains unknown. The proofs are based on the decomposition of the solution into the unperturbed part and dispersive perturbations, to which the so-called Strichartz estimates, following from the linearized version of the underlying equation, are applied.
