Abstract

We exhibit C\mathcal C^{\infty} type II blow up solutions to the focusing energy critical wave equation in dimension N=4N=4. These solutions admit near blow up time a decomposiiton u(t,x)=1/l(t)(Q+e(t))(x/l(t)}} with e(t),\pate(t)H˙1×L2<<1|e(t),\pa_t e(t)|_{\dot{H}^1\times L^2}<<1 where QQ is the extremizing profile of the Sobolev embedding H˙1L2\dot{H}^1\subset L^{2^*}, and a blow up speed l(t)=(Tt)elog(Tt)(1+o(1))l(t)=(T-t)e^{-\sqrt{|\log (T-t)|}(1+o(1))} as tT.t\to T.
