No radial assumption is made. We find that there exist four sets in the natural energy space with nonempty interiors which correspond to all possible combinations of finite-time blowup on the one hand, and global existence and scattering to a free wave, on the other hand, as time approaches infinity. In our previous paper arxiv:1010.3799 we treated the radial case, and this paper provides the natural nonradial extension of these results. However, the present paper is self-contained and in fact develops a somewhat different formalism in order to handle the more complex nonradial situation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-04T17:55:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L05", "35L71" ], "keywords": [ "ground state energy", "nonradial energy-critical wave equation", "global dynamics", "energy critical nonlinear wave equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2013, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.5663K" } } }
