Non-radiative solutions and long-time dynamics of 5D focusing energy-critical wave equation in the radial case

Ruipeng Shen

TL;DR

The paper addresses the long-time dynamics of radial solutions to the focusing energy-critical wave equation in five dimensions. It develops a rigorous radiation-nonradiation framework and leverages exterior solutions to achieve a quantitative soliton-resolution result in the radial setting, without a priori energy bounds. A central theme is the classification and evolution of non-radiative solutions, including odd and self-similar cases, and the intricate interaction between radiation and bubble dynamics across stable and collision periods. The findings reveal that after an initial preparation period, the dynamics are dominated by a decreasing number of bubbles, with emitted radiation balancing bubble interactions, thereby providing a precise description of the soliton-resolution mechanism in 5D radial waves. This work extends the soliton-resolution program to higher dimensions and strengthens the connection between radiation theory and nonlinear multi-soliton dynamics.

Abstract

In this article we discuss the long-time dynamics of the radial solutions to the focusing energy-critical wave equation in 5-dimensional space. We give some details about the asymptotic behaviour, topological structure and time evolution of the non-radiative solutions to this equation. As an application we prove a quantitative version of soliton resolution theorem for solutions defined for all time $t>0$, which immediately verifies the soliton resolution conjecture in the radial case, without a priori boundedness assumption on the energy norm of solution as time tends to infinity. The main tool of this work is the radiation theory of wave equations and the major observation of this work is a correspondence between the radiation and the soliton collision behaviour of solutions.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Given any positive constants $\kappa, \varepsilon\ll 1$ and $E_0 > E(W,0)$, there exists a small constant $\delta = \delta(\kappa,\varepsilon, E_0)> 0$ and two large constants $\ell = \ell(\kappa, \varepsilon, E_0)$, $L = L(\kappa,\varepsilon,E_0)>0$ such that if $u$ is a radial solution to (CP1) sa then there exists a time sequence $\ell R \leq a_1 < b_1 < a_2 < b_2 < \cdots < a_m < b_m = +\inft
