Abstract

In the work by T. Duyckaerts and F. Merle, they studied the variational structure near the ground state solution WW of the energy critical wave equation and classified the solutions with the threshold energy E(W,0)E(W,0) in dimensions d=3,4,5d=3,4,5. In this paper, we extend the results to all dimensions d6d\ge 6. The main issue in high dimensions is the non-Lipschitz continuity of the nonlinearity which we get around by making full use of the decay property of WW.
