1+2 dimensional radially symmetric wave maps revisit (2302.09954v1)

Abstract: The author gives an alternative and simple proof of the global existence of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for wave maps from the 1+2-dimensional Minkowski space to an arbitrary compact smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary, for arbitrary smooth, radially symmetric data. the author can also treat non-compact manifold under some additional assumptions which generalize the existing ones.
