Stability of Spherically Symmetric Wave Maps

الأصل · EN

We study Wave Maps from R²⁺¹ to the hyperbolic plane with smooth compactly supported initial data which are close to smooth spherically symmetric ones with respect to some H¹⁺μ, μ>0. We show that such Wave Maps don't develop singularities and stay close to the Wave Map extending the spherically symmetric data with respect to all H¹⁺δ, δ<μ₀(μ). We obtain a similar result for Wave Maps whose initial data are close to geodesic ones. This generalizes a theorem of Sideris for this context.
