Abstract
We show that the energy critical Wave Maps equation from into , restricted to the co-rotational setting, admits arbitrarily large numbers of concentrating concentric bubble profiles. For any , we construct an -bubble solution concentrating at scales , where , and , for any . Here is a parameter that can be chosen arbitrarily. This shows that, as far as finite time blow-up case is concerned, the entirety of cases postulated in the soliton resolution theorem indeed occur, provided the concentric collapsing bubbles have alternating signs.
