Concentric bubbles concentrating in finite time for the energy critical wave maps equation
read the original abstract
We show that the energy critical Wave Maps equation from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ to $\mathbb{S}^2$ and restricted to the co-rotational setting with co-rotation index $k = 2$ admits finite time blow up solutions of finite energy on $(0, t_0]\times \mathbb{R}^2$, $t_0>0$, and concentrating two concentric bubble profiles at the frequency scales $\lambda_1(t) = e^{\alpha(t)},\,\alpha(t)\sim \big|\log t\big|^{\beta+1}$, as well as $\lambda_2(t) = t^{-1}\cdot \big|\log t\big|^{\beta}$. The parameter $\beta>\frac32$ can be chosen arbitrarily. This shows that soliton resolution scenarios with finite time blow up and $N = 2$ collapsing profiles, i. e. bubble trees, do occur for this equation.

Construction of multi-bubble solutions for the energy-critical wave equation in dimension four
Multi-bubble solutions are constructed for the 4D energy-critical wave equation blowing up at N symmetric points with log(1/λ(t)) = (9c/4)^{1/3} t^{2/3} + O(t^{1/3}).
