Scattering and stability for ODE-type blow-up surfaces for focusing nonlinear wave equations

We study the focusing power nonlinear wave equation with any power, in Minkowski space of any spacetime dimension. We present a complete understanding of the local stability and scattering theory (both in high regularity spaces) for solutions exhibiting ODE type blow-up on spacelike hypersurfaces, with the blow-up at each point modelled by the explicit solution ${\phi }_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{l}}=c_p{t}^{-{\alpha }_p}$. Given a sufficiently regular spacelike hypersurface ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_f$, together with auxiliary scattering data $\psi$, we construct the unique corresponding solution to the nonlinear wave equation that (locally) forms an ODE type singularity on ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_f$ attaining $\psi$ as scattering data. Conversely, we show that such ODE type singularities are (locally) stable to suitably regular perturbations away from the singularity, and that the blow-up surface and scattering data remain regular, in a continuously dependent manner, following such perturbations.
