Abstract: In this paper we consider the defocusing energy critical wave equation with a trapping potential in dimension $3$. We prove that the set of initial data for which solutions scatter to an unstable excited state $(phi,0)$ forms a finite co-dimensional path connected $C^1$ manifold in the energy space. This manifold is a global and unique center-stable manifold associated with $(phi,0)$. It is constructed in a first step locally around any solution scattering to $phi$, which might be very far away from $phi$ in the $dot{H}^{1}imes{L}^2(mathbb{R}^3)$ norm. In a second crucial step a no-return property is proved for any solution which starts near, but not on the local manifolds. This ensures that the local manifolds form a global one. Scattering to an unstable steady state is therefore a non-generic behavior, in a strong topological sense in the energy space. This extends our previous result [18] to the nonradial case. The new ingredients here are (i) application of the reversed Strichartz estimate from [3] to construct a local center stable manifold near any solution that scatters to $(phi,0)$. This is needed since the endpoint of the standard Strichartz estimates fails nonradially. (ii) The nonradial channel of energy estimate introduced by Duyckaerts-Kenig-Merle [14], which is used to show that solutions that start off but near the local manifolds associated with $phi$ emit some amount of energy into the far field in excess of the amount of energy beyond that of the steady state $phi$.
