Abstract: For the energy critical focusing wave equation in three dimensions we establish the existence of blowup solutions via an "exotic" dynamical rescaling of the ground state solution W(x). The scaling law is not of the pure-power type, but rather eternally oscillates between such classes. Moreover, there is a continuum of these scaling laws.


For the energy critical focusing wave equation \(u_{tt}-\Delta u=u^5\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{3+1}\) in the radial case, the authors construct a family of blowup solutions that are obtained from the stationary solutions \(W(r)=(1+r^2/3)^{-1/2}\) by means of a dynamical rescaling \(\lambda(t)^{1/2}W(\lambda(t) r)+\text{correction}\) with \(\lambda(t)\rightarrow \infty\) as \(t\rightarrow 0\). The reason that it is called energy critical and focusing is simply from the fact that it admits a formal conservation of energy \(\int_{\mathbb{R}^3} |u_t|^2+|\nabla u|^2-\frac{1}{3} |u|^{6} dx=c\) (noticing the minus sign) and we have the Sobolev embedding \(\dot H^1\subset L^{6}\). The novelty here lies with the scaling law \(\lambda(t)\) that eternally oscillates between various pure-power laws. Here, for the blowup point \(r=t=0\), the scaling law \(\lambda(t)\) is of the form \(t^{-1-\nu}\exp(-\epsilon_0 \sin (\log t))\) for \(0<t<1/2\), \(\nu>3\) and small \(\epsilon_0\).
