We prove the existence of energy solutions of the energy critical focusing wave equation in R^3 which blow up exactly at x=t=0. They decompose into a bulk term plus radiation term. The bulk is a rescaled version of the stationary "soliton"…

We consider 1-equivariant wave maps from \R \times (\R^3 \setminus B) to S^3 where B is a ball centered at 0, and the boundary of B gets mapped to a fixed point on S^3. We show that 1-equivariant maps of degree zero scatter to zero…
