چکیده
We show that wave maps φ from two-dimensional Minkowski spaceR to hyperbolic spacesH are globally smooth in time if the initial data is smooth, conditionally on some reasonable claims concerning the local theory of such wave maps, as well as the self-similar and travelling (or stationary solutions); we will address these claims in the sequels [67], [68], [69], [70] to this paper. Following recent work in critical dispersive equations, the strategy is to reduce matters to the study of an almost periodic maximal Cauchy development in the energy class. We then repeatedly analyse the stress-energy tensor of this development (as in [12], [64]) to extract either a self-similar, travelling, or degenerate non-trivial energy class solution to the wave maps equation. We will then rule out such solutions in the sequels to this paper, establishing the desired global regularity result for wave maps.

متن کاملA ug 2 00 9 GLOBAL REGULARITY OF WAVE MAPS VI . ABSTRACT THEORY OF MINIMAL - ENERGY BLOWUP SOLUTIONS
In [16], [17], [18], the global regularity conjecture for wave maps from two-dimensional Minkowski space R to hyperbolic space H was reduced to the problem of constructing a minimal-energy blowup solution which is almost periodic modulo symmetries in the event that the conjecture fails. In this paper, we show that this problem can be reduced further, to that of showing that solutions at the cri...
متن کاملGlobal Regularity of Wave Maps v. Large Data Local Wellposedness and Perturbation Theory in the Energy Class
Using the harmonic map heat flow and the function spaces of Tataru [27] and the author [20], we establish a large data local well-posedness result in the energy class for wave maps from two-dimensional Minkowski space R to hyperbolic spaces H . This is one of the five claims required in [24] to prove global regularity for such wave maps.
متن کاملGlobal Regularity of Wave Maps Iv. Absence of Stationary or Self-similar Solutions in the Energy Class
Using the harmonic map heat flow, we construct an energy class Ḣ1 for wave maps φ from two-dimensional Minkowski space R to hyperbolic spaces H, and then show (conditionally on a large data well-posedness claim for such wave maps) that no stationary, travelling, self-similar, or degenerate wave maps exist in this energy class. These results form three of the five claims required in [18] to prov...

This paper discusses the regularity of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing maps into the sphere. It shows that even at branched point, as long as the normalized energy is small enough, we have the energy decay estimate. Combined with the previous work by Chun-Chi Lin, we get our first estimate that H(singular set) = 0. Furthermore, by looking at the tangent map and using dimension reduction ar...
