Soliton resolution for the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation in the radial case

Analysis of PDEs 2022-03-21 v1

Abstract

We consider the focusing energy-critical nonlinear wave equation for radially symmetric initial data in space dimensions D4D \ge 4. This equation has a unique (up to sign and scale) nontrivial, finite energy stationary solution WW, called the ground state. We prove that every finite energy solution with bounded energy norm resolves, continuously in time, into a finite superposition of asymptotically decoupled copies of the ground state and free radiation.
