Partial regularity of heat flow of fractional harmonic maps to spheres
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the notation of stationary heat flow of s-harmonic maps from Rm into the unit sphere πββ1βͺ ββ, for 0<s<1, framed through the parabolic version of Caffarelli-Silvestre's extension. We prove that any stationary heat flow of s-harmonic maps is smooth away from a closed set of vanishing (m+2β2s)-dimensional parabolic Hausdorff measure. This extends to the fractional settings the partial regularity theorem on the heat flow of harmonic maps into spheres by Chen-Li-Lin and Feldman.

AB - In this paper, we introduce the notation of stationary heat flow of s-harmonic maps from R^m into the unit sphere π^ββ1βͺ β^β, for 0<s<1, framed through the parabolic version of Caffarelli-Silvestre's extension.
