Abstract: We prove that solutions to the critical wave equation below can not be global if the initial values are positive somewhere and nonnegative. This completes the solution to the famous blow up conjecture about critical semilinear wave equations of the form Deltau−partialt2u+|u|p=0 in dimensions nge4. The lower dimensional case nle3 was settled many years earlier.


The paper deals with the initial value problem to the equation \(\triangle u-u_{tt}+| u| ^p=0\) on \(\mathbb R^n\times (0,\infty ).\) Initial data are supposed to be nonnegative on its support, that is compact and either of them to be positive on a part of \(\mathbb R^n,\) \(n\geq 4.\) In the case of the critical exponent \(p,\) blow up of a solution in a finite time is proved.
