Stable blowup for supercritical wave maps into perturbed spheres (2503.04425v1)

Abstract: We consider wave maps from $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space, $d\geq3$, into rotationally symmetric manifolds which arise from small perturbations of the sphere $\mathbb S^d$. We prove the existence of co-rotational self-similar finite time blowup solutions with smooth blowup profiles. Furthermore, we show the nonlinear asymptotic stability of these solutions under suitably small co-rotational perturbations on the full space.
