Abstract

We prove a Liouville theorem for ancient solutions to the supercritical Fujita equation \[\partial_tu-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u, \quad -\infty <t<0, \quad p>\frac{n+2}{n-2},\] which says if $u$ is close to the ODE solution $u_0(t):=(p-1)^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}(-t)^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}$ at large scales, then it is an ODE solution (i.e. it depends only on $t$). This implies a stability property for ODE blow ups in this problem. As an application of these results, we show that for a suitable weak solution, its singular set at the end time can be decomposed into two parts: one part is relatively open and $(n-1)$-rectifiable, and it is characterized by the property that tangent functions at these points are the two constants $\pm(p-1)^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}$; the other part is relatively closed and its Hausdorff dimension is not larger than $n-\left[2\frac{p+1}{p-1}\right]-1$.
