We consider the energy-critical wave maps equation $\mathbb R^{1+2} \to \mathbb S^2$ in the equivariant case, with equivariance degree $k \geq 2$. It is known that initial data of energy $ < 8k\pi$ and topological degree zero leads to…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, and let $G$ be a compact simple Lie group with bi-invariant metric that is not $\operatorname{Sp}(n)$ for $n \geq 8$, $E_{8}$, $F_{4}$, or $G_{2}$. We show that the singular set of any stable…

Let $f$ be a positive smooth function on a close Riemann surface (M,g). The $f-energy$ of a map $u$ from $M$ to a Riemannian manifold $(N,h)$ is defined as $$E_f(u)=\int_Mf|\nabla u|^2dV_g.$$ In this paper, we will study the blow-up…
