Minimal-energy blowup solution conjecture for wave maps
Minimal-energy blowup solution conjecture for wave maps
Let be the wave-map energy space, and let an energy-class solution be a restriction of a maximal Cauchy development to a subinterval. Such a solution is almost periodic if there exist functions and , and a compact set , such that
for every . Minimal-energy blowup solution conjecture. If the global well-posedness conjecture fails, then there exists an almost periodic maximal Cauchy development with non-zero energy. Earlier work established that all almost periodic maximal Cauchy developments have zero energy, so this reduction would rule out the failure of global well-posedness; the existence claim itself is the remaining assertion at this stage.
