Sharp Sobolev inequality of logarithmic type and the limiting regularity condition to the harmonic heat flow. (English) Zbl 1036.35082

The logarithmic Sobolev inequality in scale of Lizorkin-Triebel spaces (spaces \(F^s_{p,r}\)) is established. The inequality is applied to the regularity problem of the smooth harmonic heat flow into a sphere, \[ u_t -\Delta u=u| \nabla u| ^2, \qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \] where \(u(t,x): \mathbb{R}_+\times \mathbb{R}^n \to S^m\). The main result is the possibility of extendint the solution after \(t=T\) under the condition \[ \int^T | | \nabla u(t)| | ^2_{\text{BMO} (\mathbb{R}^n)}\,dt<\infty . \]
