چکیده

There has been much progress in recent years in understanding the existence problem for wave maps with small critical Sobolev norm (in particular for two-dimensional wave maps with small energy); a key aspect in that theory has been a renormalization procedure (either a geometric Coulomb gauge, or a microlocal gauge) which converts the nonlinear term into one closer to that of a semilinear wave equation. However, both of these renormalization procedures encounter difficulty if the energy of the solution is large. In this report we present a different renormalization, based on the harmonic map heat flow, which works for large energy wave maps from two dimensions to hyper-bolic spaces. We also observe an intriguing estimate of " non-concentration " type, which asserts roughly speaking that if the energy of a wave map concentrates at a point, then it becomes asymptotically self-similar.

We prove two kinds of fibering theorems for maps X → P , where X and P are Poincaré spaces. The special case of P = S yields a Poincaré duality analogue of the fibering theorem of Browder and Levine.

We clarify the nonperturbative origin of the δ-function singularity at x = 0 in the chiral-odd twist-3 distribution function e(x) of the nucleon. We also compare a theoretical prediction for e(x) based on the chiral quark soliton model with the empirical information extracted from the CLAS semi-inclusive DIS measurement.
