Globally stable blowup profile for supercritical wave maps in all dimensions

We consider wave maps from the $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space into the $d$-sphere. It is known from the work of Bizoń and Biernat \cite{BizBie15} that in the energy-supercritical case, i.e., for $d\ge 3$, this model admits a closed-form corotational self-similar blowup solution. We show that this blowup profile is globally nonlinearly stable for all $d\ge 3$, thereby verifying a perturbative version of the conjecture posed in \cite{BizBie15} about the generic large data blowup behavior for this model. To accomplish this, we develop a novel stability analysis approach based on similarity variables posed on the whole space ${\mathbb{R}}^d$. As a result, we draw a general road map for studying spatially global stability of self-similar blowup profiles for nonlinear wave equations in the radial case for arbitrary dimension $d\ge 3$.
