We study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger maps from R m × R into a compact Riemann surface N. The idea is to find an appropriate frame for u -1 T N so that the derivatives will satisfy a certain class of nonlinear Schrödinger equations; then the Strichartz estimates can be ap

Abstract
For the Schrödinger flow from ℝ^2^ × ℝ^+^ to the 2‐sphere 𝕊^2^, it is not known if finite energy solutions can blow up in finite time. We study equivariant solutions whose energy is near the energy of the family of equivariant harmonic maps. We prove that such solutions remain close to the harmonic maps until the blowup time (if any), and that they blow up if and only if the length scale of the nearest harmonic map goes to 0. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We first construct traveling wave solutions for the Schrödinger map in ℝ^2^ of the form __m__(__x__~1~, __x__~2~ − ϵ __t__), where __m__ has exactly two vortices at approximately $\font\open=msbm10 at 10pt\def\R{\hbox{\open R}}(\pm {{1}\over{2 \epsilon}}, 0) \in \R^2$ of degree ±1. We
This article contains an analysis of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation and solutions that become singular in finite time. Numerical simulations show that in three dimensions the blowup is self-similar and symmetric. In two dimensions, the blowup still appears to be symmetric but is no longer
