Abstract

For the focusing cubic wave equation, we find an explicit, non-trivial self-similar blowup solution uTu^*_T, which is defined on the whole space and exists in all supercritical dimensions d5d \geq 5. For d=7d=7, we analyze its stability properties without any symmetry assumptions and prove the existence of a set of perturbations which lead to blowup via uTu^*_T in a backward light cone. Moreover, this set corresponds to a co-dimension one Lipschitz manifold modulo translation symmetries in similarity coordinates.
