Abstract: We consider $k$-equivariant wave maps from the exterior spatial domain $$ into the target $mathbb{S}^3$. This model has infinitely many topological solitons $Q_{n,k}$, which are indexed by their topological degree $ninmathbbZ$. For each $ninmathbbZ$ and $kgeq1$, we prove the existence and invariance of a Gibbs measure supported on the homotopy class of $Q_{n,k}$. As a corollary, we obtain that soliton resolution fails for random initial data. Since soliton resolution is known for initial data in the energy space, this reveals a sharp contrast between deterministic and probabilistic perspectives.
