We prove that the half-wave maps problem on $\mathbb{R}^{4+1}$ with target $S^2$ is globally well-posed for smooth initial data which are small in the critical $l^1$ based Besov space. This is a formal analogue of the result for wave maps…

We show that wave maps from Minkowski space $\R^{1+n}$ to a sphere $S^{m-1}$ are globally smooth if the initial data is smooth and has small norm in the critical Sobolev space $\dot H^{n/2}$, in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. This generalizes…
