Renormalization and blow up for charge one equivariant critical wave maps

Abstract: Abstract. We prove the existence of equivariant finite time blow-up solutions for the wave map problem from R 2+1 → S 2 of the form u(t, r) = Q(λ(t)r) + R(t, r) where u is the polar angle on the sphere, Q(r) = 2 arctan r is the ground state harmonic map, λ(t) = t −1−ν , and R(t, r) is a radiative error with local energy going to zero as t → 0. The number ν > 1 2 can be described arbitrarily. This is accomplished by first "renormalizing" the blow-up profile, followed by a perturbative analysis.

“…A main objective in this respect was to prove small data global existence for various target manifolds and space dimensions, see e.g., [32], [15], [14], [41], [42], [37], [38], [16], [29], [43], [21], [22], [23], [24]. On the other hand, for large data and in the energy critical case, there are newer results on blow up, e.g., [34], [20], [26], [25], [4] and, very recently, also on global existence [19], [39], [40], [36]. We will comment below in more detail on some of those works which are most relevant for us.…”

“…This beautiful result holds for a large class of targets and, by ruling out the existence of finite energy harmonic maps, it can be used to show global existence. In the case of the two-sphere as a target, there do exist finite energy harmonic maps and indeed, blow up solutions for this model have been constructed in [20], [26], [25].…”

“…Recently, an analogous threshold conjecture was established for wave maps (see [Krieger et al 2008;Rodnianski and Sterbenz 2010;Sterbenz and Tataru 2010a;2010b] and, for hyperbolic space, [Krieger and Schlag 2012;Tao 2008a;2008b;2008c;2009a;2009b]). When ᏹ is a hyperbolic space, or, as in [Sterbenz and Tataru 2010a;2010b], a generic compact manifold, we may define the associated energy threshold E crit = E crit (ᏹ) as follows.…”
