Abstract
We study m-corotational solutions to the Harmonic Map Heat Flow from R2 to S2. We first consider maps of zero topological degree, with initial energy below the threshold given by twice the energy of the harmonic map solutions. For m≥2, we establish the smooth global existence and decay of such solutions via the concentration-compactness approach of Kenig-Merle, recovering classical results of Struwe by this alternate method. The proof relies on a profile decomposition, and the energy dissipation relation. We then consider maps of degree m and initial energy above the harmonic map threshold energy, but below three times this energy. For m≥4, we establish the smooth global existence of such solutions, and their decay to a harmonic map (stability), extending results of Gustafson-Nakanishi-Tsai to higher energies. The proof rests on a stability-type argument used to rule out finite-time bubbling.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
