On the Division Problem for the Wave Maps Equation

Analysis of PDEs 2018-12-06 v1

Abstract

We consider Wave Maps into the sphere and give a new proof of small data global well-posedness and scattering in the critical Besov space, in any space dimension n2n \geq 2. We use an adapted version of the atomic space U2U^2 as the single building block for the iteration space. Our approach to the so-called division problem is modular as it systematically uses two ingredients: atomic bilinear (adjoint) Fourier restriction estimates and an algebra property of the iteration space, both of which can be adapted to other phase functions.
