# Blow-up for semilinear parabolic equations with critical Sobolev exponent

• In this paper, we study the global existence and blow-up results of semilinear parabolic equations with critical Sobolev exponent \begin{eqnarray*} u_t-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u, in \Omega\times (0,T) \end{eqnarray*} with the Dirichlet boundary condition $u=0$ on the boundary $\partial\Omega\times [0,T)$ and $u=\phi$ at $t=0$, where $\Omega\subset R^n$, $n\geq 3$, is a compact $C^1$ domain, $p=p_S=\frac{n+2}{n-2}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, and $0 ≨ \phi \in C^1_0(\Omega)$ is a given smooth function. We show that there are two sets $\tilde{W}$ and $\tilde{Z}$ such that for $\phi\in\tilde{W}$, there is a global positive solution $u(t)\in \tilde{W}$ with $H^1$ omega limit $\{0\}$ and for $\phi\in \tilde{Z}$, the solution blows up at finite time.
