Abstract:
In this talk, we shall briefly report a recent gluing construction of finite-time blow-up for the heat flow of the $H$-system, describing the evolution of surfaces with constant mean curvature. One key observation is a decoupling property of the system at linear level, and as a by-product, non-degeneracy of H-bubbles with higher degree is shown.
