Abstract

We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation uttΔu+upu=0u_{tt}-\Delta u + |u|^p u=0 with spherically-symmetric initial data in the regime 4d2<p<4d3\frac4{d-2}<p<\frac4{d-3} (which is energy-supercritical) and dimensions 3d63\leq d\leq 6; we also consider d7d\geq 7, but for a smaller range of p>4d2p>\frac4{d-2}. The principal result is that blowup (or failure to scatter) must be accompanied by blowup of the critical Sobolev norm. An equivalent formulation is that maximal-lifespan solutions with bounded critical Sobolev norm are global and scatter.
