Abstract: We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 2-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere $S^2$, �egin{align*} u_t & = Delta u + | abla u|^2 u quad ext{in } Omega imes(0,T) \ u &= varphi quad ext{on } partial Omega imes(0,T) \ u(cdot,0) &= u_0 quad ext{in } Omega , end{align*} where $Omega$ is a bounded, smooth domain in $mathbb{R}^2$, $u:Omegaimes(0,T)o{S}^2$, $$ is smooth, and $$. Given any points $q_1,ldots,q_k$ in the domain, we find initial and boundary data so that the solution blows-up precisely at those points. The profile around each point is close to an asymptotically singular scaling of a 1-corrotational harmonic map. We build a continuation after blow-up as a $H^1$-weak solution with a finite number of discontinuities in space-time by "reverse bubbling", which preserves the homotopy class of the solution after blow-up.
