On blowup of co-rotational wave maps in odd space dimensions

We consider co-rotational wave maps from the (1 + d)-dimensional Minkowski space into the d-sphere for d >= 3 odd. This is an energy-supercritical model which is known to exhibit finite-time blowup via self-similar solutions. Based on a method developed by the second author and Schorkhuber, we prove the asymptotic nonlinear stability of the ground-state self-similar solution. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
