Abstract

In this paper, we construct KK-solitons of the focusing energy-critical nonlinear wave equation in five-dimensional space, i.e. solutions uu of the equation such that \begin{equation*} \|\nabla_{t,x}u(t)-\nabla_{t,x}\big(\sum_{k=1}^{K}W_{k}(t)\big)\|_{L^{2}}\to 0\quad \mathrm{as}\ t\to \infty, \end{equation*} where for any k{1,,K}k\in \{1,\dots,K\}, WkW_{k} is Lorentz transform of the explicit standing soliton W(x)=(1+x2/15)3/2W(x)=(1+|x|^{2}/15)^{-3/2}, with any speed kR5\boldsymbol{\ell}_{k}\in \mathbb{R}^{5} ,k<1|\boldsymbol{\ell}_{k}|<1 (kk\boldsymbol{\ell}_{k'}\ne \boldsymbol{\ell}_{k} for kkk'\ne k) satisfying an explicit smallness condition.
