The Wave Maps Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
The wave maps equation has become a very popular topic in recent years. The aim of these expository notes is to present a non-technical survey of the ideas and methods which have proved useful in the study of wave maps, leading up to the latest results. The remaining open problems are also stated and explained.

Slow Blow up Solutions for Certain Critical Wave Equations
We describe in this article two recent results [11], [12], obtained by the author jointly with W. Schlag and D. Tataru, about singular solutions for the critical wave maps equation, as well as the critical focussing semilinear wave equation. Specifically, the first result [11] establishes for the first time the conjectured formation of singularities for co-rotational wave maps into the sphere S...

We explain how to apply techniques from integrable systems to construct 2k-soliton homoclinic wave maps from the periodic Minkowski space S ×R to a compact Lie group, and more generally to a compact symmetric space. We give a correspondence between solutions of the −1 flow equation associated to a compact Lie group G and wave maps into G. We use Bäcklund transformations to construct explicit 2k...
متن کاملDifferential Transform Method to two-dimensional non-linear wave equation
In this paper, an analytic solution is presented using differential transform method (DTM) for a class of wave equation. The emphasis is on the nonlinear two-dimensional wave equation. The procedures introduced in this paper are in recursive forms which can be used to obtain the closed form of the solutions, if they are required. The method is tested on various examples, and the results reveal ...
متن کاملSolitary Wave solutions to the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo Miwa equation
The homogeneous balance method can be used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, this method is used to construct new soliton solutions of the (3+1) Jimbo--Miwa equation.

is the natural combination of these equations, describing the free motion of an ndimensional surface in a non-Euclidean space; for instance, the motion of a string that is constrained to lie on a sphere would be given (at least to first approximation) as a wave map. As such, wave maps are one of the fundamental equations used to describe geometric motion, although they are not as well understoo...
