In this work we consider a semi-linear energy critical wave equation in ${\mathbb R}^d$ ($3\leq d \leq 5$) \[ \partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = \pm \phi(x) |u|^{4/(d-2)} u, \qquad (x,t)\in {\mathbb R}^d \times {\mathbb R} \] with initial data…

We consider the wave equation in space dimension $3$, with an energy-supercritical nonlinearity which can be either focusing or defocusing. For any radial solution of the equation, with positive maximal time of existence $T$, we prove that…

In \cite{Luk}, Luk proved global existence for semilinear wave equations in Kerr spacetime with small angular momentum($a\ll M$) \[ \Box_{g_K}\phi=F(\partial \phi), \] when the quadratic nonlinear term satisfies the null condition. In this…
For 2 + 1 dimensional wave maps with $\mathbb{S}^2$ as the target, we show that for all positive numbers $T_0 > 0$ and $E_0 > 0$, there exist Cauchy initial data with energy at least $E_0$, so that the solution's life-span is at least…
We consider a generalization of wave maps based on the Adkins-Nappi model of nuclear physics. In particular, we show that solutions to this equation remain continuous at the origin, which is a first step towards establishing a regularity…
We consider wave maps from $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space, $d\geq3$, into rotationally symmetric manifolds which arise from small perturbations of the sphere $\mathbb S^d$. We prove the existence of co-rotational self-similar finite…
Consider a bounded solution of the focusing, energy-critical wave equation that does not scatter to a linear solution. We prove that this solution converges in some weak sense, along a sequence of times and up to scaling and space…
We study the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation in the presence of an inverse-square potential in dimensions three and four. In the defocusing case, we prove that arbitrary initial data in the energy space lead to global solutions that…
We study the Cauchy problem with small initial data for a system of semilinear wave equations $\square u = |v|^p$, $\square v = |\partial_t u|^p$ in $n$-dimensional space. When $n \geq 2$, we prove that blow-up can occur for arbitrarily…
