Abstract: We prove the existence of a (spectrally) stable self-similar blow-up solution $f_0$ to the heat flow for corotational harmonic maps from $mathbb{R}^3$ to the three-sphere. In particular, our result verifies the spectral gap conjecture stated by one of the authors and lays the groundwork for the proof of the nonlinear stability of $f_0$. At the heart of our analysis lies a new existence result of a monotone self-similar solution $f_0$. Although solutions of this kind have already been constructed before, our approach reveals substantial quantitative properties of $f_0$, leading to the stability result. A key ingredient is the use of interval arithmetic: a rigorous computer-assisted method for estimating functions. It is easy to verify our results by robust numerics but the purpose of the present paper is to provide mathematically rigorous proofs.
